"Bork was borked."

My point is that Specter was one of the Borkers.
If Specter hadnt done what he did, Bork would likely be on the Supreme Court.

"But Specter prevented the borking of Thomas."

After what he did to Bork, Specter got h*ll from conservatives, and did what he needed to get back in good graces for the 1992 election.

Just ask Paul Weyrich. He helped Specter out in 1992, thanks to Clarence Thomas, then got the brush-off after 1992.

The danger NOW is that Specter is getting old. Old enough
for retirement - WE HAVE NO POLITICAL LEVERAGE ON HIM NOW.

He serves without any care for the voter between now and 2010 and then retires. For most other Republicans, I'd say "great", but for him - be very afraid.

What we need is strategery not reaction. Plenty of time for action later.

The MSM is just simply trying to get us to waste political capital before we have the chance to figure out a winning strategy. Sometimes the direct approach isn't the best.

Winning is the goal. It's a big playing field.
