Am I wrong to at least expect him to give us an explanation and some degree of personal assurance that he will assume responsibility if Specter fails to get our nominees confirmed?
Nope, he should justify his position and take responsibility for it. You should call his office and ask the Senator to publicly explain his position so he is on record. Tell them you are disappointed with his decision, but be polite and ask for a public explaination.
I am very concerned with the way McCain and Hillary are positioning themselves, it could very well come down to a race between those two phonies. I would take Rudy over McCain, just because I think Rudy is genuine and McCain is unstable eventhough McCain has a more conservative background. As of now, 2008 does not look good for getting a conservative into the White House. Can we somehow reincarnate Dan Quayle from his political death?
I will vote third party before I will vote for a liberal like Rudy for president.
Hope it IS the final post on this. That means specter is doing the job. Bookmarked...just in case.
thanx again...great effort.
Excellent campaign and summary!
I think we scared the you know what out of Specter. He won't be putting up much resistance to conservative appointments now. If he wants to keep his seat next election, he will support the President.
It was fun while it lasted...
Specter will be somewhat a good soldier for the next couple of years. But Specter is getting old and I don't think he is too concerned with next election. The biggest problem with letting Specter be chairmen, will be in years 2-4. This fiasco will be forgotten and Specter will be himself agian.
Don't worry, soon we will be worried about real issues and real appointments. That is when the real fun will begin.
Specter is a particularly vain and preening little strut of a Senate rooster. Outrage his ego by denying him a traditional perk, and he might be able to do more damage off the chair than on it.
Politics is generally just surviving the lesser of two evils. Conservatives, and I am one, don't believe in perfectability, just endurability.
Confused Conservatives: Hugh Hewitt
I still wish you'd not refer to Hewitt as a conservative, as he is not.
I really don't know Hewitt that well. I know some people call O'Reilly a conservative, so I know the label is thrown around loosely. I do know that he was confused on this subject. We may have come up short on this fight, but we did good. We damaged Specter some, we got the attention of every GOP Senator, and important issues were brought to the front burner. Overall, the effect of the campaign was positive although not as positive as it could have been.
Thanks.
"If Frist and Santorum mess this up, they deserved to be shot and killed on the spot."
I know this is written in mere jest, but could we refraim from using such harsh language. It really is uncalled for!!
WE are champions for LIFE and the above statement, even in mere jest, serves no purpose.
Thanks!
What do you think of Bush appointing Pat Toomey to the OMB?
Hopefully the conservatives in PA have been heard!
