		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why do we have so many traitors–if the Syrian press is at all accurate–in elected office right now?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If they&#039;re lying the politicians know it, and are going anyway. If they&#039;re telling the truth these guys are committing sedition at best, and treason at worst. 

Either way, these guys are under cutting our efforts to secure our national defense, and should be seriously reprimanded if not prosecuted.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;We got rid of most of the RINOs during the last election but this liberal fool just keeps hanging on . . . maybe next time. 

&lt;/blockquote&gt;Yes the RINO&#039;s must go even when it costs the party seats and possibly control. Case in point Lincoln Chafee.</description>

		<description>Ya know, its too bad Bush couldn&#039;t simply appoint Specter to be the US ambassador to Syria so we could have a chance at getting another Conservative in the Senate.

		<description>Uno momento - What the F does being the chair of the Judiciary committe have to do with our policy towards Syria. Reminds me of my first experience of friendly graft. Many moons ago I was managing a small business downtown - about a week before Christmas the corner traffic cop Ed comes in - sits down and waits - smiling away - I did not get it. When my boss told me he was coming by for his Christmas gift - &quot;I asked what does a traffic.....&quot;

Seems like every freakin Senator and Congressman is traveling the world - visiting world leaders right now. Reid, Kerry, Dodd, Spector....I guess they are waiting and smiling - like Ed the cop.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Arlen Specter is the single most reason that Rick Santorum lost his seat in Pennsylvania…I know tons of voters that held it against him for supporting Specter. 

DoctorDentons on December 29, 2006 at 12:35 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;WTF?!&lt;/strong&gt;

Doc, where have you been all year?!  I have been spewing this line since the day of the primary that Pat Toomey lost to this pusbag.  I was almost convinced that I had made it all up in my mind.

I think I threw up a little in my mouth as I read your post...</description>

As you watching for Ricky&#039;s???  Specter remains very popular--don&#039;t believe me, look at the polls.  Especially so now that he&#039;s a cancer survivor.  People love that stuff.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;First I lived most of the year in PA and vote here, our primary residence is here.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Now I&#039;ll have to move.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Second, Specter 53%, Hoeffel 42% in the 2004 race. Barely?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Specter was a four-term incumbent with name recognition running against a congressional lightweight named Hoeffel.  He should have won by 25 points.  In 1998 Specter won by a 61-35% margin.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Third, Ricky voted 95% of the time with Bush. Look it up.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

True, he agreed with Bush on many issues - they were both staunch conservatives with high Christian morals.  That doesn&#039;t make Santorum a yes-man, it does infer they have similar convictions.

Santorum was pro-family, anti-gay and anti-abortion - making him a favorite target for liberals everywhere.  His stance on these issues played more of a role in his defeat than the War in Iraq.  Pennsylvania is replete with liberals like you.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Fourth, I don’t particularly enjoy making an ass of myself, not having a lot of experience in that area. How is it? ;^)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You&#039;re more than qualified :b 

I&#039;ll be watching for Specter&#039;s &lt;em&gt;landslide&lt;/em&gt; victory in 2010.</description>

		<description>Way to fight the good fight honora. Maybe you could do us all a favor and make Saudi Arabia your primary residence. I hear they&#039;re looking for a few good liberals to manipulate. Oh by the way, you are an ass if you think a man who stands by his principles is a yes-man for another who stands by his. Under your theory all the Democrats have been yes-men for the last 12 years to anyone looking to block legislation.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Thanks for showing your total ignorance of politics here in Pennsylvania.

Specter barely won in the last election while both distancing himself from, then coddling up to W. to pull ahead in the final days of the campaign. If he runs again, he’s toast.

Santorum was never a yes-man for Bush, or anyone else. His stance on abortion had more to do with his defeat than anything related to W.

Better stick to your own state politics hon, unless you enjoy making an @ss of yourself.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When are the likes of Specter and McCain going to get the fence posts out from their rectums and get on with ruining our chances for 08? Sheesh….

Should be the front page headline in every major paper.  Maybe without the &quot;Sheesh&quot;.

When is Bush going to step up and tell these yo-yos to stay home and take care of their own problems.  I mean do we have a tour bus leaving every hour to Syria with every &quot;washed up hasbeen wannabe&quot;?  Sheesh.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Arlen Specter answers to the people of Pennsylvania, not George Bush. If Specter would run today, he would win in a landslide. Supporting Bush in Pa is great if you’re not real anxious to continue your political career, just ask Ricky S.

Thanks for showing your total ignorance of politics here in Pennsylvania.

Specter barely won in the last election while both distancing himself from, then coddling up to W. to pull ahead in the final days of the campaign.  If he runs again, he&#039;s toast.

Santorum was never a yes-man for Bush, or anyone else.  His stance on abortion had more to do with his defeat than anything related to W.

Better stick to your own state politics hon, unless you enjoy making an @ss of yourself.</description>

		<description>The Specter of appeasement.  Talking never solves anything unless both sides are willing to talk and compromise.  Syria is willing to talk as long as they get whatever they want.  They will give nothing.  Specter and anyone else who thinks some touchy feely dialogue will solve things are just plain deluded.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What is it about this particular war that has brought out the absolute worst in nearly our entire political class?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Clintonisation of culture during the 90s. After the Cold War ended we all assumed we could go sound asleep for the next fifty years, then the jihadists woke some of us up. Some people have just hurled the alarm clock across the room and gone back asleep.</description>

		<description>There is an article by Michael Rubin at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aei.org/publications/pubID.25366,filter.all/pub_detail.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;American Enterprise Institute&lt;/a&gt; about Spector and his mideast trips.

This man is such a FOOL, who can&#039;t quite learn that our enemies are playing as a FOOL, even though he&#039;s been to Syria 16 times at taxpayer expense now.  

Rubin recounts his 1990 trip to Iraq where he was became enamoured with Saddam and bought into his entire line.

&lt;blockquote&gt;In January 1990, Specter traveled to Baghdad to meet then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. For Hussein, Specter was useful. He believed the Iraqi leader&#039;s talk of peace. Over the next few months, Specter resisted proposals by Senate colleague John McCain (R., Ariz.) for sanctions on the Iraqi leader and instead called for dialogue. Hussein used the delay to rebuild his military and, on Aug. 2, 1990, ordered his tanks into Kuwait.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

He isn&#039;t even a &quot;useful idiot,&quot; because he&#039;s just simply &lt;strong&gt;useless&lt;/strong&gt;.  To use a common, if earthy, phrase from my part of the country, Spector has &quot;shit for brains.&quot;

I guess that comes with being a liberal.....</description>
