Snowe needs to be encouraged to leave as well. Sounds like she’ll be tagging the hate crimes bill with the “bipartisan” label when it gets to the senate.
Specter revealing his true colors is a cause for celebration.
Specter is total wuss............who needs him. We have the passion and the Way, the Truth and the Light. Respect for LIFE is the first step. Put it in God’s hands and fight.
I don’t think the media understands that a lot of Republicans are glad Spector switched sides. He sure wasn’t doing the Republicans any good. Of course, not many Republicans are doing the party any good. We just need a true conservative party.
A better party would be the Liberty Party
Dedicated to the support and defense of Liberty
It's Big Tent is
Conservatives
Libertarians
and Capitalists
No laws shall be enacted that
restrict the Liberty of the Individual
except as dictated by Natural Law
and Collins ...
Agreed. I feel the Republican party is trying hard to distance itself from it's Christian members, so as to be the Thrifty Atheist party. I'm pretty tired of feeling like a political outcast because I believe in Jesus. If there was a party that basically held to what the Founding Fathers had in mind, I'd be all for it, especially if it had a shot as a legitimate 3rd party.
Seriously.
If Specter ever earned a B.A. it could have stood for Benedict Arnold! How appropriate that he wants to serve under a President whose rule in the White House reminds one of Proverbs 19:10 (NIV) which says “It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury - how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!”
Third Party strategies will NOT win!
You will not be able to get a SINGLE member of Congress elected from ANY Third Party.
All you will do is:
Elect Liberal Democrats by dividing the VOTE!
There is no way that ANY Party can be created, that can avoid the problems inherent in ALL political parties.
The Third Party strategy does not solve ANYTHING!
The Third Party strategy CREATES problems, and solves nothing.
We need to puncture the ball. They want us to take the path of least resistance like they want the public to do.
This government is making a serious run on ownership of the public.
I challenge you to make one.
When is last time you interviewed your legislative district's candidates that were seeking your line on the ballot?
I don't mean to excoriate you personally as much as everyone just reading your post and sitting there saying yeah that's what we need,without doing anything to make it so.
The OP(formerly the GOP)lost its Conservative spine long ago in order to expand the voter base. Trying to hang onto a party that has increasingly accepted socialist principles is the political version of battered wife syndrome.
Specter was swept into office in the first Reagan landslide.
Reagan, himself, made no effort to run him out of the party.
If you do not have the numbers to control the Republican Party, at the local level, how in the heck will you ever have the numbers to control your State, or the Nation, with any “Third Party”?
Third Parties are for those who enjoy defeat.
Wrong.
Those who insist on a “Third Party” strategy are usually egomaniacs that do not know how to work in large groups.
Those who insist on “Third Party” strategies would rather have a small room, or a basement, where everyone in your “group” agrees with YOU -—
Rather than actually get something accomplished:
Like WINNING ELECTIONS!
