"Traitor!" republican voters angrily rail regarding Arlen Specter. So, why is he once again going to win the Pennsylvania GOP senatorial primary in 2010?
[petition to expel now has 965 signatures]
According to an article by Salena Zito, there are three conservatives planning to run against Specter in the spring of 2010. (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, March 22, 2009, www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/03/specter_welcomes_all_new_rival.html)
With Pat Toomey, Peg Luksik, and Larry Murphy splitting the vociferous vote of the 'Anti-Benedict-Arlen' majority, Specter could win the primary with as little as 26% of the vote.
Stop the TRAITOR before he can steal another nomination. EXPEL SPECTER FROM GOP. Sign the Petition at: www.gopetition.com/petitions/expel-specter.html
All conservative contenders should be locked into a steel cage, last man standing gets to run against Specter. No holds barred.
There is no reason that he should win the primary because the conservatives won’t come to an agreement beforehand.
Who threw their hat in first? that is who should be supported
Amen! Try party before self you conservative idiots! Poll the people, see who would win against spector and the rest of you HELP THAT PERSON GET INTO OFFICE!!
Even our own party kills itself. What sh@@!
The PA Republican party should throw Specter the hell out of the party now so the only way he can run is as an Independent.
I couldn’t agree more. We ended with John McCain because conservatives failed to come together behind either Mitt Romney or Fred Thompson. And some decided that Mike Huckabee was close enough. That same thinking will give us Specter once again.
Toomey for Senate!
Different dynamics. The point is to beat the RINO arlen. There is no “conservative primary to run against Arlen”. There is however a GOP primary to run against Obama, when a single individual emerges to oppose the commie. Not so in a PA GOP senate race.
I believe that Pat Toomey got in first.
No, Peg did. Is Toomey even in yet? I don’t think he is.
We agree on the objective, just not the means. How about arm wrestling? It’s at least as good as ‘first hat in’.
Well, you better do some fancy footwork to convince the other two to drop out. But before you do, make sure your candidate isn’t a amnesty supporter like the organization was president of.
By the way, FAIR rates Pat Toomey as Pat Toomey 100% on Immigration. Good enough for me.
Good luck.
BTW, Toomey was not in congress during the Amnesty vote.
Luksik jumped in first, and she has about as much chance of winning as I do. She needs to jump out and let Pat Toomey put Specter away.
I’m thinking that she is on Specter’s payroll.
what policy is luksik bad on?
Please do your homework before posting about candidate stands. Toomey has a 100% anti-illegal immigration rating.
Luksik is the Harold Stassen of Pennsylvania and has zero chance of winning.
She is basically a one-issue candidate. She is anti-abortion as is Toomey, but that’s the only issue she runs on. I don’t think she knows there are other issues.
Here’s a good article that sums it all up:
