Arlen Spectacle is what Mark Levin calls a “Re-pube-ican.”

Not one dime from the RNC better go to this guy! Frankly, I don’t care if the RNC pulls another big scare that we weill somehow lose this seat to the Democrats if we don’t vote for Specter. THAT SEAT IS ALREADY A DEM SEAT! Specter must go!

We warned heavily against Specter -— he had “liberal sell-out” written all over him. Yet, he ends up on committee and in the Congress.

He should be voted out in 2010 along with his other parasite Northeast liberal RINOs.

It appears that’s it’s politics as usual - - “he who has the most money wins!”

God, I hate this.

‘“If it’s a big vote, Arlen’s the first one to cave,” ‘

Says it all.

Id he votes for this bill, I think he can be taken down in the Republican Primary in 2010. The problem after that is you probably will end up with a more liberal Dem. winning the General Election. This is the same state that sent Rick Santorum packing.

I think he’s extremely vulnerable in the Republican primary,” said Chris Lilik, the president of Young Conservatives of Pennsylvania, who helped a strong conservative challenger, Pat Toomey, almost upset Specter in the 2004 GOP primary.

Remember Sphincter was enthusiastically backed by Geo. Bush and his cronies against Toomey! Now we get what Bush wanted!

“Given the choice, we prefer to have a Democrat who’s with us all the time instead of just when it’s politically expedient.”

Somebody want to explain how voting with the Democrats 1/3 of the time is "politically expedient"? What has it EVER done for a RINO, aside from the papers writing something nice for a day or two? Specter needs a good bitch-slapping.

Yes, in addition to he who has the backing of Soros et.al., the unions, ACORN, the PA Democrat party and the PA Republicrat party (there is NO Republican party in PA), etc.

“...Arlen’s the first one to cave,” may say it all but Arlen said it best...

“...You are no more a protector of the Constitution than am I”

So??? If the state is too stupid to hire a man of principle and conservative values, too bad for them. As conservatives and republicans we have too get over the LOTE factor at this time in our history!

If someone is going to promote leftist policies it should be a democrat. If you ever want people to be open to conservative principals you’ll need to sacrifice seats like PA.

One of the problems is that it’s always a Lefty v. “moderate”. The moderates tend to try to pretend that they are different but they are not

He must be making the radio rounds today. He was on the local Wilkes-Barre/Scranton talk radio station this morning (I didn’t listen, as I was at work).
