I am enjoying our debate on the Toomey Specter matchup, but I dont want to annoy you with my insistence that you support Toomey. No sense trying to milk a bull. If you are a moderate pro-abortion/pro-choice 'big-Government' Republican that actually likes Specter's liberalism and once-in-a-while conservative support to keep the base from getting restless, I'll understand completely and quit bugging you.

So my only question is: Are you? Or,
are you a pro-life small government conservative?

I am strongly opposed to Specter because he is the biggest enemy of the pro-life movement in the Republican party. I am also strongly opposed to Specter because I am in favor of school vouchers and he has been the biggest Republican stumbling block to them in our national Government. Yes, sometimes a Senator in PA has national impact. And winning the seat for a conservative from a RINO will also have national impact. It will tell the other 5 RINOs in the Senate to shape up.

These are a few reasons and I can come up with a few more. The bottom line about whether you want conservatives to win or lose. That's all. So I guess I am just wondering if you are a fellow conservative or not. It's like I'd vote Bush over Kerry any day - Bush is more conservative.

Specter's age isn't really an issue...it's how it appears it has affected him. He was never the most flamboyant person and he has slowed considerably. His stump speeches I have seen on TV are terrible, and he isn't exactly a 'legend' in PA like some long-time politicians are (like Thurmond) that this handicap can be overcome (in Thurmond's last campaign he could still make a good stump speech, though).
