Collins was just reelected for six years and Snowe is not up until 2012 so let’s all concentrate on Specter because we don’t stand a chance to oust either one in Maine and neither are up for reelection.
Specter barely won the last time and frankly I wanted him gone in 2004 but not only did Bush/Rove push him but Bush agreed he should be head of Judiciary which was even dumber IMHO. Look what it got us!
We can oust Specter in 2010 and time to find a candidate that can beat Specter and win in November. At least we will stand for something. I am 100% with not reelecting anyone that is against fiscal conservatism and smaller government to go with individual liberties and may I add who believes in Scottish law! Specter needs to be OUSTED!
For all the complaints against Snowe and Collins on this site, I wonder if there are any ME Freepers? The Maine twins would take the opinions of ME Freepers more seriously than the ones who live below the Mason Dixon line.
The Pub Senate leaders can jerk them from committees and the RNC can stop any funds. There are probably other penalties. Why not - they're Rats anyhow (unless they offer a written confession, repent, and DO SOMETHING to undo the damage)?
If Specter wins a primary, and has to run against a Cindy Sheehan or Cynthia McKinney-style Democrat, I will support even that Democrat. Specter and his demonseed are a lingering cancer to the Republican Party and must be removed at all cost.
Yeah, I know, Specter votes for the Republican control of the Senate, but which would be worse? Democrats having 51 votes and taking the blame, or having 48 seats plus Specter, Collins and Snowe, and the GOP taking all the blame? I can no longer buy the argument that Specter is better than a Democrat.
