Still... it would be nice to have Specter meet Bork at the Liberty Bell at noon and kiss his rosy red a@@ in front of the whole world.
Right now Specter is kudzu in a pot. Once you plant it in the ground it will be near impossible to rid yourself of it.
Collins, Snowe, and Chafee are currently looking over their shoulders and figuring out ways not to be considered a friend of the Democrats...
Wish you were right. Chafee IS a friend of the Dems, and has one of the safest seats in the country. Snowe and Collins are from a state that just went Kerry.
True enough. As long as he doesent try to bottle it up in committee, we'll be fine.
BTW, the press is going to portray us as bigoted Nazis no matter what we do, so why should we bother trying to satisfy them?
As for taking a story away from the MSM, do you remember how the President worked with Ted Kennedy on the NCLB Act? Did it provide any benefits to the President? I didn't see any.
Specter has done absolutely nothing to earn a chairmanship from the GOP. He fights us on most important issues. I see nothing to be gained from trusting him, and everything to be gained by showing the political world that the GOP has finally grown a pair.
Shalom.
Bravo.
The RINOs have to be getting the message over this. We may not be able to put up Specter's career's corpse, but we can at least put his bloodied, beaten political career in the stocks for a while in the Senate cloakroom as a reminder.
And the problem with this is...?
I really don't think it's wise that Conservatives first determine how their agenda will play before the MSM before it's implemented.
If that were the case RR would've have never bothered to run.
The obvious contrary example is Bork.
And don't say "but Bork didn't pass the full Senate." Of course he didn't. But how many RINOs were emboldened by Specter's disgraceful behavior on the committee? How many other Senators were turned by the effort the left ginned up against Bork during the time he was held captive before Specter?
It's not enough to say "yeah, they'll get a vote in the full Senate." The position calls for boldness.
CAN SPECTER.
HE THINKS OUR TROOPS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINIAL COURT.
ANYONE WHO TAKES THIS STAND SHOULD NOT, I REPEAT, NOT NOT NOT BE IN ANY POSITION TO INFLUENCE OUR LEGAL SYSTEM IN ANY WAY.
Caps off. Sorry to yell, but...we cannot allow this guy to stay. We need someone to fight for our president and our country.
Chafee, Snowe, McInsane, Jeffords, Specter..get rid of the lot of them while we have the chance!
Why take a chance? We have 4 years to change the courts. We had better not wait or take any chances. It is too important.
Who cares what the press says? We will NEVER win them over no matter what we do. Hey, if we can't convince American Jews to vote Republican you can forget about ever making friends with the press!
We need to stop worrying about winning over our enemies because it is NEVER going to happen ever. We need to worry about getting the things done we think are right and let the chips fall where they may.
Specter has shown his true colors. He has forfeited his right to serve. Dump him fast and let's move on!

I like the idea...but MAN is that a disgusting image.
By the way, the FR poll immediately prior to the present one demonstrates that I'm far from extremist for thinking that Bush isn't conservative enough. Indeed, it shows that the extremists around here are the ones who are happy with him.
Doing nothing guarantees business as usual.
Gotta take some risks to move forward. No one's going to miss Spectre.
The above mentioned Senators are dead-center Republicans in liberal states. I guarantee you they will not switch parties if they are stuck running against bona fide liberals in the same Democratic primaries...
"Knocking Off Specter Is A Big Mistake---agree...but smacking him around a bit wouldn't hurt.
