For me, it’s hard to be disappointed when you know what to expect. Meghan McRino, do the “honorable” thing, defect like Sphincter. Take your step dad with you, neither of you are wanted by right thinking people.

We need to attract more centrist and progressive conservative voters

Clueless ME-ME-Meghan does it again!

Centrist conservatives and progressive conservatives?

I'd love to see the preferred platform of these ideologues, LOL

What a ditz!

I’m disappointed that Meghan McCain is so willing to overemphasize ‘constituent service’ to make Spector look better than he is. The kind of ‘constituent service’ he is good at is called ‘pork’ and there is far too much of that in today’s politics.

Memo to Meghan McCain: Hon, feel free to join Uncle Arlen. Oh, and take the rest of the RINO's with you, daddy too.

We do not need two liberal parties, sweetie.

what people like me are saying matters

No, it doesn't. Only in your small little pathetic self absorbed world.

And you Meghan, need to follow Specter and join the Dems. They would appreciate your liberalism.

Specter has always leaned left, and was in fact a Democrat, before he was Republican. He switched party affiliation when the "Reagan" revolution began, in order to be popularly elected into office in the first place.

He has voted with the Democrats more times than he's ever voted with the Republicans, and his recent switch back to the party of communist sympathizers, was purely out of self interest (he's admitted as much) and his constituency never came into his reason for doing so.

So if your disappointed in his leaving the GOP, and you favor his voting record; it may be an indication to you to simply follow his lead and change your affiliation as well.

I'm sure this was a long, hard decision.

Obviously not, Meghan. He changed his mind in less than a month. Maybe you should actually know what you are talking about before you write an article about it.

BTW, how's your back stabbing 'dad' doing these days? You are two peas in a pod as they say. Or the nut doesn't fall far from the tree is more like it.

“Arlen”? And she expects to be taken seriously?

“Still a Republican?” Didn’t she used to proudly talk about how she’d voted Kerry, loved Gore, and would eagerly have voted for Obama against anyone else other than her father?

You wrote

“Her father drove me away from the Republican Party. I now vote only conservative candidates.”

J. McCain’s (with “gang of 14” pals)antics from about 2002-2005 were the last straw for me too. Such was what drove me from being a card carrying party member to saying no more until they clean up their act. No surprise to anyone here they did not. Specter, McCain, etc have let us down for a decade plus over and over again.

I’m still a card carrying member and supporter of our sensible state (OK) GOP.

“His probable opponent was nearly 20 points ahead in many polls. And I understand how he’s been made to feel like an outcast by a small, vocal group. “

very well said K and lets hope the real leaders, (if we can find them, I’m not sure who to think of as a leader or spokesperson of the GOP right now and that is really sad) of the GOP do speak up and tell her to quiet down. my personal desire for the GOP big guy is Duncan Hunter fwiw

he's been re-elected four times

Yes, with a lot of help from the Republican 'leadership' going against the Republican party!

I guess you don't understand why so many people say they don't identify with the Republican party. It's because of people like you, your 'dad' and Arlen Specter who seem to think you are the voice of the party. NO, unless you want more people leaving it.

Arlen Specter voted for the porkulus bill which is one of the main reasons he was losing to Toomey, you little brainiac.

As the man with the peg leg said, I stand corrected.

Specter has never shied away from putting the needs of his constituents first

Until he thought they were going to VOTE HIS ASS OUT
