We hear in Texas that Michael Steele is supporting Arlen Specter's candidacy.

NRSC Set To Back Specter This snippet from the Washington Post's overview of Arlen Specter's candidacy stuck out at me:

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has written a letter to fellow Republicans asking them to support Specter. "While I doubt Arlen could win an election in my home state of Texas, I am certain that I could not get elected in Pennsylvania," Cornyn wrote. "I believe that Senator Specter is our best bet to keep this Senate seat in the GOP column."

Specter is a hemorrhoid on the alimentary canal of the Republican Party. When he comes down and hangs down, he is a pain in the ass. When he withdraws, you just hope he has gone away, butt it never fails that he sticks his fat head out to betray us again. Please, let us take a surgical knife and remove him from our body politic. We have strained enough to rid ourselves of this foreign body but failed to realize that he needs to be detached and discarded. If we don’t, he will bleed us to death.

As for John Cornyn, we Texans are watching. Take heed of the 17,000 Tea Party in your hometown. We meant business, even for accomplices of such malefactors as Specter. Got it? Have you really got it? Hey Michael Stephen Steele! Same goes for you too.

Steele is an IDIOT. I have heard him sub for Bill Bennett a few times.

For example, the man read blurb’s from “Liberty and Tyranny” 2 weeks ago. He pronounced the author’s name “Mark Leveen” and pronounced a key concept word from the blurb and the book “statist” to rhyme with “mat-ist.”

Totally clueless, and certainly not a conservative.

I’m wondering if this is the price Specter is asking to tow the party line in a variety of issues. With the low numbers its obvious he has quite a bargaining power. Just a thought.

Arlen Specter should have had the grace to retire.

This proves with a doubt that we need new leadership in the Republican party, otherwise we may as well get used to many years of Marxist rule.

The Republican party will perform the impossible feat of losing more ground in an historic mid term election advantage.

Personally, I would prefer that Republicans lose that seat rather than retain it with Arlen Spector holding it. The same with the two cretins in Maine. Let’s cut our losses and get on with business.

Kick this hack out of the seat. Kick both of them out of their seats. We never needed Steele’s brand of politics.

Why would Cornyn support Specter? If the people in the State of Texas knew about it they’d vote hom out of office in a two second’s. It makes no sense to act like a Conservative in Texas and support a Progressive Leftist in DC. Sounds like he cannot be trusted.

Of course he is. Specter can probably win and hold the seat R regardless of what we think about him.

Specter sucks but that’s not Steeles problem. Winning R elections is Steeles problem.

This is a dumb issue, folks.

The NRSC as an organization ALWAYS supports ALL of their elected Republican incumbents. That’s just the nature of the organization. Same with the RNC.

I dislike Specter as much as anyone else here, but why is anyone surprised that the NRSC and the RNC are supporting him? He is an incumbent Republican.

I find it amazing to see the names that “rise to the top” of that toilet bowl called Washington....

Most couldn't manage a whorehouse above a bar - where the drinks are free and the whores all nymphomaniacs who can't count money or read time..

Then I remember - the lightweight turds ALWAYS float to the top.....

Once again, party over principle. Sad, but they REALLY ALL have to go. Vote out ALL incumbents this election, no matter what. The break up of the monopoly is necessary. If we only send a couple packing, it leaves the rest to overpower the newbies, as per the usual tactics lately. Hear this, YOUR REP HAS BEEN PART OF THE PROBLEM IF HE/SHE HAS BEEN THERE MORE THAN ONE TERM! Lets institute term limits. If a person is on the ticket for more than a second or 3rd term, they go from now on. no exceptions. The longer they spend on the hill, the more likely there will be bad things going on behind closed doors regardless of party. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Period.

The video is a description of the 5 supposed forms of government, from 100% government control (Communism, fascism, totalitarianism etc) to 0% government (anarchy) it obliterates all forms of government as only temporary and futile except for 2, oligarchy and republic. It does this in a clear concise manner, which effectively shows even a grade schooler about them. It then, in the last few moments, explains Rome, its beginning as a republic, and its morph into a democracy. The parallels are well put, and clearly where this country is today. It is an excellent way to spread the word to those who have never been taught proper history, and that is alot of people since they have been re writing it for so long now.

I have been posting this sucker all over all day, and sometimes I forget that some are stuck at work, so I have included the above basic description of the video, however it does not do the video justice. I beg, implore and urge all to view it who have not. THIS is the reason we are so angry. Taxes are a symptom, losing our republic is the disease!!!!!

You are right on, but how can one be a hemmorhoid and a @ick at the same time? We don’t need another McCain the RINO scenario. Our next candidate will be a true conservative. Otherwise, we as conservatives are set to lose again.

We have not leadership in the Party. We have lost our core values.

Sadly out of touch, just like McCain and most of the GOP

Michael Steele is a RINO too. Despite what many on this board have tried to tell us for some time now.
