Toomey’s biggest road block is the union vote. The unions have bought and paid for Specter for years and with the card check legislation coming up, the unions are sure to be promising Specter the world, if he votes yes on card check. Specter is going to use card check as extortion against the Republicans. The Republicans will be damned if they do and damned if they don’t.
Unions weren’t the problem in 2004. George Bush was the problem. He came to PA when Specter was on the ropes against Pat Toomey and campaigned for him. Just goes to show you that if someone has to call themselves a “compassionate-conservative”, they aren’t conservative at all. The same applied in 1988 when George Herbert Walker Bush campaigned on the platform of a “kinder, gentler America”.
Please God! No more Bushes!
