Ugh. Bad news for GOP voters though. The odd thing is about Specter is that if there's anyone who SHOULD be a card-carrying "Independent" in the Senate, it's him. (Lieberman and Sanders are just socialist Dems who won't admit it.) I'd have a lot more respect for Specter if he ran and won as an Indy rather than him staying as a Republican and voting with the Dems half the time. When Specter's on the right side of an issue -- like attacking Anita Hill, bashing Holder's nomination, or demanding all bailout legislation be posted online to the public in it's entirety before anyone can vote on it -- he's really good for our side. Sadly, when he's on the WRONG side of an issue, he's just as passionate in successfully carrying the water for the commies, so it cancels out anything good he does.

So much for the freepers who shoved Specter down our throats in 2004 with the promise "hold your nose to stop Hoeffel and you'll only have to put up with one more term... no way will he run in 2010". Looks like the old geezer won't leave until he's carried out feet first.

Bad trend going into 2010... seems the GOP is pushing for a lot of REALLY bad RINOs to run in highly contested races. And I'm talking REAL liberals, not the type of moderate squishy center-right candidates that freepers whined about in 2006 and 2008. I couldn't bring myself to support ANY of these in a general election, even in a close race against a socialist RAT:

- Mark "progressive groups rate me better than Obama" Kirk, IL (yes he actually ran campaign ads GLOATING about that)
- Arlen "Scottish Law" Specter, PA
- Peter King of Slick Willie & IRA Terrorist Fan Club, NY
- Arnold Schwartzekennedy, CA

I suppose I could hold my nose for odious Mike Castle running for U.S. Senator in Delaware if I HAD to, but suffice it to I'd rather spend four hours undergoing gallbladder surgery.

And I really tend to go out a limp for RINOs if it's the general election and they're the only thing that stands in the way of an all out commie RAT. I even supported Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey, son of ultra RINO Tom Kean Sr. (and senior is so bad he openly supported the Dem candidate until his son entered the race). In the last election, the only two U.S. Senate candidates the GOP nominated that I wouldn't endorse were Collins (Maine) and Sauerberg (IL). And in the later case, as much as I hated unqualified combine candidate Sauerberg, I would have held my nose for him IF was polling within the margin of error the week of the election and actually had a chance to "beat Durbin"
