But genuine progress in the fight to return American public opinion to an affirmation of life before birth cannot be made through strong-armed tactics

But is that really the issue? I think the issue is that we just had an election, and Arlen Specter is behaving as though nothing has changed.

Conservatives are up-to-here with assisting the Republican Party with electoral success, only to get nothing in return. The phosphors hadn't even faded on the touch screens before the first RINO popped up to "warn" us not to expect anything for our efforts.

Specter is only one of several RINOs. We need to buy them all a vowel. If that means that Arlen Specter doesn't get his traditional turn at the wheel, that may be the price we have to pay to send the rest of them — and Bill Frist — the message that with success comes responsibility.

We're not voting all these GOP Senators in so that some misnamed Democrat from Pennsylvania can set the agenda. If we get two more years of "go along, get along" RINO-ism for our trouble, we'll be more angry than a little bit.

Hewitt is right. Spector is only one of one hundred. The main thing is getting the nominee out of committee to the floor. If he is committed to that, even if he opposes the nominee on the floor vote, then he should receive the chair.

Bump.

There is no basis for trusting Specter to do the right thing after he's safely ensconsed in the chairmanship. All we have to do is look at how some of the S. Ct. justices have acted compared to who nominated them and why. Specter's going to be the MSM's new Favorite Republican. Move over Hagel, move over McLame.

Excellent response. I wholeheartedly agree. But then it's my line of thought since college.
