And you are the worst combination of arrogance and ignorance.
You don't have to be a moderate to vote for Specter or believe that sticking together on the right is the best plan. That's all you have, though, try to demean or intimidate other people who point out the flaws in your argument and pretend that they can't possibly believe in the same values as you but just believe in a different strategy to put them forward.
WF Buckley... "I support the rightward most viable candidate." Specter won the primary against our hopes but that is what we are stuck with and he IS the rightward most viable candidate. I can't stand the man but he's much better than Hoeffel, one of the most severe leftists in Washington. Grow the hell up.
I'm not the one calling any one names - except RINO or liberal. You and your pack have been the ones hurling personal insults.
IIRC, you voted for Specter, yet you say that you can't stand him. That would make you the worst kind of hypocrit. I guess that you can add that to the list names. But all 3 of those names are accurate descriptors of political facts of life.
Tamsey, I suggest you look in a mirror and repeat this. Badray posted this as his strategy for discussion, not a mandate. But from the start you people have done nothing but hurl immature names and accuse people of being the enemy, not discuss. I am sure the party would be proud of you.
The above has governed my voting habits all my life however unaware I was until recently that Buckley said it. But there are exceptions to every rule. Not voting for Specter on this occasion is one of them.
Your level of anger about it is misplaced. Have you expressed such anger against Specter? He is the one who is truly deserving of your ire, NOT Badray.
