Petition to Ban Arlen Specter from the Republican Party
April 9, 2006 | new yorker 77

Posted on 04/09/2006 9:13:37 AM PDT by new yorker 77

I am sick of this dishonest media whore.

1) FAILURE TO EXPEDITE JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS

2) PROMOTING AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS

3) OPPOSING EXTENSION OF THE TAX CUTS

4) MORE PRO ABORTION THAN NARAL

5) SAYING THE TERRORIST SURVIELLANCE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

6) SAYING IMPEACHMENT IS ALWAYS AN OPTION

7) ALLOWING FOR A HEARING ON FEINGOLD'S CENSURE OF THE PRESIDENT

8) NOW CALLING FOR BUSH AND CHENEY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON LEAKS

Arlen Specter is a plague on this nation and the Republican Party.

This media whore needs to hear the message from conservatives nationwide.

I should have said 'REQUESTING'.

My anger at this moron had me thinking 'petition'.

Their individual egos are too big to fit on any one petition form.

I would put our esteemed senators, DeWine and Voinovich, on that list in a minute!

As much as I despise Arlen Specter, I regret to inform you that there is no way to 'ban' anybody from a modern American political party.

Any American is free to register with any party they want, or to identify with any party they choose, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

The only thing you can do is work to make sure that individuals you disapprove of don't win any kind of governmental or party office.

In Specter's case, he's there through 2010, short of the Lord shortening his term.

About the only useful thing you could do is put tremendous pressure on Republican Senators and leaders to take away the powerful chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee.

I'm afraid that is what is going to happen in our Republican primary. However, I haven't heard anything -- yet. In fact, I think DeWine is trying to distance himself from President Bush. A couple of conservatives are running against DeWine, and I am voting for one!

This petition is more of spotlight approach.

It would be like turning the lights on when a cockroach is in the room.

The beam of conservatism that would radiate on Specter will cause him to cower for a while.

He heard from us in the fall of 2004 when we pushed to prevent him from heading the judiciary committee.

He went on radio and television and LIED through his teeth to keep this position.

This is the last straw and I would like to force him to have to go on another rehab tour at the least.

Good lucke with your petition -- I mean it.

But also I mean this -- Serves the White House right. It's what they get for supporting Specter in the primary, over Toomey.

I mean is anyone surprised that Specter is behaving like this?
Hasn't he always?

The White House played political bingo in Pennsylvania.

The believed that in order to win the state on the Presidential Level, they needed to back an incumbent Republican running at the same time.

They were wrong.

I do not believe they supported Specter the man as much as they tried to use Specter the incumbent.

In the end, the have nothing but grief from this dishonest media whore.

Specter had conservative opposition in the last GOP primary and George Bush squashed it.

Why not a petition to include ALL RINO's.....which would be many repubs right now.....those who support amnesty for illegals.

Isn't a vote strong enough?

After all, by the time a petition was scrutinized, approved, sent through the channels, and submitted, it would be long after his next election cycle.

I don't think we should ban him from the party...I think we should throw all our weight behind his next primary challenger and a put a real Republican into that office.

I am in no mood to bash the President for backing Specter.

He did it because his campaign team was advising him to do so in order to win Pennsylvania.

If the President believed he needed to do this to win a state that would help him win re-election, I have less of a problem with it than otherwise.

The issue is Specter today. It requires leaving the fluffy land of hindsight and entering into the foward thinking field of ideas.

I will not let the 2004 campaign and my support for Toomey be used as an excuse not to get involved with knocking down the Specter stupidity of today.

Saying 'Bush supported him so he gets what he deserves' is moronic.

Specter does not deserve a free ride and the President does not deserve Specter's whoring it up on the Sunday talk shows.

They were wrong.

Without a "major" undoing on Spector's part, the MSM and DNC would have eaten Dubya' alive with diversion to this if he were to not support an incumbent.

After all it wasn't exactly a landslide for Dubya' in '04.

Why would the POTUS get involved in a concern that should have been resolved by the Pennsylvania Republican party?

This isn't a promotion of Spector on my part in the least, keep in mind!

How will you vote against him this November when he's not up for election?

You are exactly right. This kind of "petition" idea serves no purpose. Frankly, I'd rather have Specter the Repub in office than Specter the Dem, but people clamoring to prove themselves the most pristine of conservatives have a way of sabotaging success.

By the way, if he is thrown out of the party, the Dems pick up a seat. Only the people of his state have a choice in whether or not he serves, and they have made that choice clear.

All you need to know about Specter is that as a young attorney attached to the Warren Commission in 1964, when it could not show how Oswald could have killed JFK, Specter invented the single-bullet-theory.

The government has used it to cover up the murder of the President of the United States for the last 43 years.

I would put our esteemed senators, DeWine and Voinovich, on that list in a minute!

How about Snowe, Collins, Chaffee, Frist, Lott, Hatch, Dole, Coleman and the other 40+ RINOs in the Senate.

And let's kick out the RINO Governors like Arnold, Petaki, and Romney.

And the President...
whew...looks like we are running out of Republicans.
