Santorum continues to run infrence for Specter.
Email Santorum en masse, and take his server down.
Also, let Frist know Specter is not an acceptable choice. If in fact, the POTUS won on values, we lose simply by their appointment of Specter in this leadership capacity.
AS much as I detest Specter I don't think he will be the real problem
It will be the MSM who will attack endlessly any conservative Bush tries to appoint
They will go back to his/her kindergarten days for dirt
Bush may stand behind his nominee
BUT HOW MANY POTENTIAL NOMINEES WILL WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS VICIOUS SMEAR CAMPAIGN THAT THE MSM IS SURE TO MOUNT
That will be the real problem
I disagree.
Specter borked Bork. Bush helped Specter, he then refused to help Bush. He is a fence straddler. He has no loyalty. He would have the ability to determine the fate of the Supreme Court. His friends are Soros, Ickes, clinton and more. He cannot be trusted.
HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE :: FLASHBACK: August 18, 2003 Will Specter Chair Judiciary? by Timothy P. Carney
Specter had approved of William Rehnquists promotion to chief justice and Antonin Scalias nomination (though he notes in his book that both "yes" votes were cast grudgingly) and later would come to the rescue of Clarence Thomas. But blocking Bork, he explained in his book, was essential to preserving the balance of the court.
Specter voted yes on the nominations of liberals David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer as well as swing justices Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day OConnor. In his book, he notes no reservations or objections to those judges as he did with Rehnquist and Scalia.
It is not just the Right to Life complaining, but also Liberty Counsel, Concerned Women of America, and others.

Specter seems to pop up in the center of the worst scandals of the Clinton era.
