This is the first I've heard of Specter denying it. I'm not saying he didn't, I just hadn't heard of it. And I know that if it comes down to a question of whom to believe between Specter and Santorum my choice is easy. I do know Toomey has forgiven Rick. I know I supported Toomey over Specter then and I think I even sent Pat $, but his chances were tight at best and certainly less than Specter's chances. I might have come down on Santorum's candidacy earlier absent Specter; he might have been my second choice instead of my third (after Palin and Cain) one. But I've forgiven him and am liking him more as time passes. His alleged conservative competition personally lost my support by giving a lecture to me and others favoring big government/ big business health care, stronger than any Obama ever gave, about 4 years ago. At least Romney then was saying different states could have different options. I heard Newt go all in for big health care 'reform' and can't trust his very recent week flip back. Rick has never been on that and life as gone overboard to teach him never to go there. As a doctor I want to maintain my personal 13th amendment protection. Rick is the only safe bet left against my involuntary servitude.

I agree with most of what you say; I don’t believe a word the lying snake known as Specter says. I do not believe, however that the end justifies the means; Specter has been a blight on this state for so long, I would have loved to seem him go down in flames to a real conservative... it could have triggered a real change in mindsets about conservatism among the young and uninformed here in PA, who in principal are open to these ideas. Also, like many PA Pubbies, Santorum loves big government as long as it is for his pet causes. I do appreciate his taking a stand on moral issues, but he is not a conservative, and will not stop government from growing. I like him better than Romney or Newt, but he is no conservative... Paul actually is conservative, I have supported him for decades, but due to the hate here, I won’t say any more about that...
