If GWB hadn’t bailed him out in his last election, Pat Toomey would be in that seat even now.
Pat Toomey is likely running for Governor if anything.
Specter is so desperate to keep his seat he is more weaselly than usual.
Even if it doesn’t change him, this is a good thing for other Senators to hear.
Has anyone asked Specter, “Why the rush to endorse this bill that is being passed as an emergency stimulus, but doesn’t really go into effect for two or more years?” The reality of this stimulus negates Specter’s whole justification for betraying his party.
He’s a fraud and a coward!
To hell with Specter!
Many years too late.
Is the 15,000 tax credit for new home buyers still in the bill? I thought that was one of the few things good about the bill.
Must be how they do things in Scotland...
The thing that galls me most is Spectre saying he didn’t know they health czar and controls on medical decisions were in the bill.
He says he plans to keep his word. The dems have broken their word on the amendments the Senate added, the time the bill would be there for review.
Work requirement for Welfare removed.
E-Verify funding stripped out.
$200 Billion in total pork spending.
All spendulus package moneys go to Union shops.
I’d like to see Gerlach take his seat.
I no uncertain terms I told Alexander(TN) to dump him. It’s the choice of the party to choose. If they keep him I go on a perpetual fishing trip.
What a spineless useless wuss. He can’t even hold up for his own treacherous action-he ignores anyone trying to contact him to oppose his vote, he has a snide auto-message to anyone outside his constituency who emails him, he stubbornly goes his own way for his own personal benefit in voting for the huge tax heist and funding of ACORN—then he calls home to see if anyone still loves him. What a wuss. Just be a proud traitor Specter, at least hold up for what you do. AfFAIK even the two traitorous *itches aren’t phoning around to make sure everybody will still love them after they betrayed their party and the American people. They just did it and pretended to be proud of it (OK maybe they weren’t pretending).
1964 ~ 2008.
That’s a great run for the magic bullet.
you knew specter would stab you in the back on social issues, you thought maybe he had a couple conservative bones in his body on fiscal issues. i guess not.
At least we got a laugh about the old fool yesterday when obama’s campaign said it target spectors seat next election.
The Senate GOP leadership needs to tell Spectre, Snowe, and Collins that they will lose all committee assignments if they vote for this disater of a bill; and then follow through.
Jim Gerlach is not a conservative.
It's interesting to watch all the RINOs squirm and join the circle of wagons to avoid being targeted by us Conservatives. It's not a good idea to get the base riled up. And it could be said we have only just begun to fight.
