Imprecise language bothers me, and while all kinds of attacks and criticism can be heaped onto Toomey, I just don’t understand the analysis that zero was gained from defeating Specter, and that Toomey is probably “worse” than Specter.
Specter hounded us for 30 years and even ran for president to make the GOP a pro-abortion party, it takes a lot more than being bad to be worse than what Specter did to us for 30 years.
People should have suspected something about Toomey when he was the 2nd most pro-LGBT Republican, even before he entered the Senate. To the left of Scott Brown. He was the 2nd Republican Senator to call for the repeal of, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” His support was considered what made the repeal possible.
