I believe that Senator Specter is our best bet to keep this Senate seat in the GOP column.

Keep it in the GOP column like it was during the Porkulus Maximus vote?

Sorry, Sen. Cornyn. Your RINO colleague, Sen. Snarlin' Arlen Sphincter [D-Penna.] must go.

And, with any luck, the bastard will take McCain with him.

Toomey 2010!

No bailouts for incumbents!

Folks in Pa., please pay no heed. Instead of running a conservative for president, we ran the candidate we thought would win. Stick to your principles. Toomey got screwed by the party before. He is the best candidate for Pa and one of the conservatives in the nation. The revolution has to begin with the first victory. That victory can be Pat Toomey!!!

Cornyn is one of the best senators we have, I can't believe the people here who would throw him under the bus because of this. Specter has made me mad more times than I can count, but sometimes he buckles under pressure, which is more than I can say about any Democrat. I don't see the strategy working, we now have one of the worse presidents in history sitting on top of an awesome approval rating. Yeah, it makes sense to me, lets just give this jerk even more power! Let's lose all our power and give them their veto proof Senate. I have no idea who is running against Specter, nor know his opponents chance of winning, but I presume Cornyn does.

I'll vote and support Cornyn when he runs again. I'm proud he is my Senator, especially compared to most of them.

BTW: I've never, ever seen one Republican on this web site that hasn't been shot down by at least a few of the "members." I sometimes think there is DU tampering going on here.

ALSO, is there a FR meeting place at the Alamo tomorrow? I would love to meet up with some of you.

Where are all those people who say Republicans lose because we demand too much “ideological purity” from our candidates?

Spector is a fine example of why I left the Republican Party in 2006, and Cornyn just made sure that I won’t be coming back before the next election.

My email to Cornyn - other Texans, please consider sending “in kind”


Senator Cornyn,

Bluntly, if you support the re-election of the likes of Arlen Specter, then you are part of the problem.

The public has demonstrated in the TEA Parties that they know that the republicans are complicit in this mess. Many have stated that they wish to be rid of the ‘professional politician’ and return to real representative democracy more like that established originally in the Constitution, but with TERM LIMITS.

We also recognize that our professional politicians have allowed the usurpation of our country by leftists. We see indoctrination and historical revision in ALL our schools, we see propaganda machines (the mainstream media) promoting and supporting leftist ideologues and ‘one world’ government, we see judge after judge ignore the oath he or she has taken and make up laws out of thin air; and now we have a student of leftist radicalism as president, with everyone in a position of responsibility failing their own oath to defend the Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic” by not ensuring its requirements are met in regards to Constitutional presidential qualifications.

Your conservative political positions are the republican equivalent to clinton’s triangulation; we see that your interests are not with the needs of Texas or America. As an elected representative from Texas, you should be standing against the fiscal irresponsibility that promotes unfairness and raises the tax burden on all citizens. Supporting Specter is being part of the “republican team” and representing the interest of neither Americans nor the Texans who elected you.

This year may be the last gasp of United States exceptionalism. I will support NO ONE who has in any way contributed to its downturn. I see your support of Specter as such a contribution.

(BTW, My wife and I were members of the Oak Hills Church of Christ BEFORE we built Crown Ridge and remember your using the Church directory for political purposes, another indicator of your lack of discernment and integrity.)

one of your current constituents,
//signed//
