National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn has thrown his weight behind Sen. Arlen Specter, who is likely to face a tough renomination fight against former Club for Growth President Pat Toomey:
"My job as head of the NRSC is to guide the GOP back to a majority in the Senate," wrote Cornyn to Pennsylvania Republicans. "I can't do that without Arlen Specter. With him as our nominee, I can target our campaign resources toward beating Democrats and growing the Senate Republican Conference."

...PA is a let down state all the way. Murtha, Spector, BO, Casey all have it made.

Remember what happened when the National Party thwarted the will of the people to oust Lieberman?

Ironic. I just got a fund raiser in the mail from them. Think I'll send it back with a Tea Bag in it.

Agreed. This is another big mistake that will alienate republican voters.

No John, you can't do that
with Arlen Specter.
Specter votes with
the other party.
What about that does Cornyn not understand?

Stuff like this is why I no longer donate to the RNC, and why I told them to take me off their call list the last time they called looking for money.
FOAD, Republican Party. You’re part of the problem.

[scratched Cornyn’s name off possible Texas votes in future]
This is why I am no longer registered with the GOP. AND won’t be in the future. Arlen Specter?!? The #1 RINO in the GOP and Cornyn can’t survive without him?!?!?

Ironic. I just got a fund raiser in the mail from them. Think I'll send it back with a Tea Bag in it. Make sure it's mailed with either prepaid postage or a postage removed from a pre-stamped return envelope (you probably have lots of those anyway). I'm not spending any cash to send them a message.
