He was really a solid Conservative as my Senator. He takes a lot of heat over 2 things.

-His support of Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in 2006. I chalk this up to “being a loyal party guy”, much in the way Sarah Palin felt compelled to campaign for McCain in Arizona. I think this will now benefit Rick as it will give the GOP establishment some second-thoughts about taking him out at the kneecaps. If they do this to such a loyal soldier, odds are they will never convince anyone again to ever do that for them in the future.

-His blowout loss to Bob Casey, Jr. whose IQ would place him somewhere in the legume family of vegetables. People outside Pennsylvania do not understand how this happened. It happened because Casey deliberately mislead the huge pool of senile voters in this state into believing that he was his dead father, a very popular Governor. And the #1 priority issue in any statewide election in PA has always been FREE STUFF FOR SENIOR CITIZENS. Casey ran around telling seasoned citizens that the reason they did not have more free stuff was that the Eeeeeeevil Moron George W. Bush was flushing all that money down a rathole in Iraq.
Sadly, most of them bought it.

Have you ever seen Bob Casey and Mitt Romney in the same place at the same time? LOL

I think that tactic has finally collapsed on Mitty.

Santorum. Here’s his reasons why he picked Newt over him.

Having met Sen Casey and attempted a conversation with him, I think you're being very generous in your IQ estimate. However he does a good job of looking the part. He is polite, wears a nice suit and his shoes are polished.

“His support of Arlen Specter ... I chalk this up to ‘being a loyal party guy’”

He’s explained his support of Specter. It was in exchange for Specter’s promise to vote for conservative SCOTUS nominees — which he did. Possibly Toomey would’ve done the same thing; I don’t know.

The issue of future SCOTUS appointments is huge in this election. Seems that Santorum and Gingrich would select the best candidates. Paul is a whack job and nobody knows what he’d do. Romney had to meet with a coach to tell him what conservative buzz words to use in speeches and debates, and that says everything we need to know about him. The dolt didn’t even have a clue that saying we should raise the minimum wage wouldn’t sit well with conservatives. That’s basic for a conservative; how could he not know that?
