“Arlen Specter is DONE,” wrote a blogger named steelfish on the FreeRepublic Web site. “He won his last primary by less than 1 percent against a real conservative of Pat Toomey. And only because the President Bush came to PA and campaigned for him. He is DONE.”
Specter is up for re-election in 2010. Washington Republican strategists tell Newsmax this weekend that Specter's defection has sealed the deal: he will face a primary for the GOP nomination.

Oh the naivete.
They’re acting at the moment as lightning rods for the anger towards GOP leadership, so that the power of that lightning can be dissipated.
They’ll probably get a promotion of some sort for being so useful in this regard.
The move by Williams effectively gave Jimmy Naffe control of the house again, with stooge Williams as his Democrat Speaker.
The TN GOP will have to govern TN with an iron fist just as Pelosi and Reid are in DC.
This was said by me (2banana). Check out post #3 in the orginal thread.

Their diapers need changing......
You can’t “kick anybody out of” the GOP. It’s an open association.
That’s one of the fundamental things wrong with it. Its achilles heel, shall we say.
Loving it more every day... The reddest state in the country in November 2008.
I assume you mean in the primaries.

Google ‘Bangor Maine newspapers’ and read the articles and comments about the Multi-generation Enslavement Bill. Not too many of the folks in Maine are happy with their Senators either.
I think I'll call up there today and offer them some support.
Exactly! If Steele really wants to rebuild the RNC, he must begin with re-establishing the foundation and getting rid of these three RINOs would send a HUGE message to every freedom loving American.
Time to clean house, starting with carrying out this trash.
I would like to be a fly on the wall (with a camera) to get the look on Specter’s face when his doctor tells him that the new office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology (created by the “Stimulus” bill) has reviewed his health records and determined that it’s no longer cost effective to treat him because of his age.
It isn't enough to tell or encourage people to vote. ACORN will actively register and loudly ENCOURAGE OR ELSE these people to vote and they WILL vote, in millions of numbers. In a short couple of years, the Republican Party will vanish. Each election cycle, all the voters necessary will be moved to various districts to give overwhelming numbers to any given Democrat candidate. ACORN will get the job done. The 4 billion is just the beginning.
Obama's civilian defense force will come later. It will be funded and the people trained at the level of the military. It will take a lot more than 4 billion dollars to accomplish that.
The votes of Snowe, Collins and Specter are votes to abolish the Republican Party.
Arlen Specter always reminded me of Howard Sprague on the old “Andy Griffith Show.” My word, Specter sounds just like Sprague.
No reporters asked about the ACORN money during the press conference. I guess we have to depend on talk radio to get the word out.
At an absolute minimum, they should be removed from any and all committee positions and caucuses, politically tared and feathered!

Congrats steelfish! You made the big time! :)
I assume you mean in the primaries.

Yes, in the primaries! We have to wait a while on Arlen Sphincter too.
