He didn’t turn his back on those that voted for him. Some Democrats and Independents did. The GOP is a small minority party in PA in comparison to the sum of Independents and Democrats. He represents them, too.

Toomey has cost the GOP a seat. That’s a vote for who is Majority Leader and therefore who determines the agenda.

He will be humiliated and destroyed in next year’s election, just as another right wing extremist, Rick Santorum, was.

i have to say this is probabally the right thing. But this sells the country out even more. I really feel like we are done as a republic.

I liked Santorum. I thought he was reasoned and well spoken. He didn't strike me as extremist.

I expect there will be all kinds of attempts to mask this to be something other than Arlen Specter miscalculated the result of not voting the way his constituents asked on the stimulus. The Democrats and Independents are not the people who funded his candidacy. Some crossed over and voted for him, but they are not responsible for keeping him there from his tenure dating back to Reagan’s time.
