..”Exactly five years ago, the national Republican Party swooped into Pennsylvania and saved him from certain defeat at the hands of Rep. Pat Toomey (R). Valuable presidential time was sacrificed on his behalf. Also sacrificed for Arlen Specter was the reputation of his conservative colleague, Rick Santorum (R), who never recovered. From that moment forward, he lost his core constituency, and was easily defeated two years later by a pro-life Democrat.”
The opportunist control freak, Mitch McConnell(RINO) gets the credit for that blunder.
McConnell wasnt even majority leader then. Dont blame him. The Bush/Rove WH made that call.
The opportunist control freak, Mitch McConnell(RINO) gets the credit for that blunder..... If you remember, Bush wanted all candidates who would support Amnesty for illegals during that run. Toomey would not. One of our premier radio hosts (in the Lehigh Valley) had Liddy Dole on asked how could the Republican Party support Benedict Arlen? She responded that the electoral process was weighed in favor of all incumbents. Says a lot, Right?
