I don't think anyone would disagree with that position either. I think they would disagree with Arlen's VOTING RECORD (pro-affirmative action, anti-vouchers, etc.) on that issue if stopped to think about whether his actions match his words.
Overall, I think your post was a rather unconvincing argument against Specter.
Ah, so you're not convinced that a guy who was ON RECORD saying most Republicans want "to pursue a radical social agenda that would end a woman's right to choose and mandate school prayer”, and "this nation -- nor this Party can afford a Republican candidate -- so captive to the demands of the intolerant right”, plus my personal favorite "It is not Judeo-Christian to bring God into politics." DESPISES the very people who he is BEGGING to vote for him now?
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Since the party shouldn't be "captive to the right", then he doesn't NEED our votes. Why would he go to a gun rally and press the flesh with those "intolerant" people? The moderate "majority" can all vote for him.
>> The National Review Online made a much stronger case against him than you. <<
The National Review cited the exact same speech. I merely posted a longer form and pointed out all questionable statements he made there. Of course their article was more in-depth, because they covered his whole career. I'm just REMINDING people of one example showing the way this guy acts when he's not out running for the Senate.
