[...] The Senate veteran got a Republican primary challenger in Pat Toomey, who immediately jumped out to a 20-point lead over the incumbent. Specter tried getting the national GOP to push Toomey out of the race, and when that failed, he [...]

I’ve been hoping he would retire or lose year after year. If you re going to be a liberal, might as well be a democrat.

Not too long ago he was on Hannity on the radio and said he would have preferred a stimulus bill like the reagan tax cuts, but something had to be done so he voted for Obama’s bill. In essence he said tax cuts are great but wreckless spending will work just as good. DUH!

Toomey rises in Pennsylvania…

Now would be a good time for Spector to announce he is not running for re-election. Check this out from Hot Air…….

I’ll donate money to any one who runs against the Spectre. He could have changed the course of the stimulus package and he refused. I hope the PA voters shout out their disapproval and vote the S*B out of office.

I expect some quotes coming from Specter claiming his imaginary friends are still going to vote for him.

Time to take this RINO down, cut off his horn, and let him bleed out.

(Sorry for the graphicicity [it's a Don King thang] of my comment, but I’m fed up with RINOs in our party.)

I never thought I would say this but I could be swayed to support a new Conservative party. I’m beginning to wonder if we conservatives are the RINOs now. The Republicans tell us we can count on them from now on and then load up the omnibus bill with earmarks.We can’t trust them.

That’s great news, but, when it comes time for Toomey to trounce Specter, SOMEONE please keep Rick Santorum and George Bush locked up somewhere so they can’t screw it up again.

The republican Lieberman….look for Spector (I)

If Specter lost the primary, he’d be on his own. The PA GOP would close ranks behind the winner, as I expect the national GOP and the senate GOP would.

The reason Lieberman won was because so many liked him in CT. Arlen would be on his own. He has money, but few friends, and even fewer admirers.

CLOSED PRIMARIES NOW!!!

I think PA’s are. You have to go through the procedure of officially changing voter registration to the other party.

If Specter switches parties, he’s just one in the majority. As a “swing vote,” he has Harry Reid & Co. stroking his ego, asking him what he wants for his vote, etc. Specter would have a hard time giving up that kind of attention.

Specter was out in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago speaking to a group of college students, and asking the Dems there to switch parties for the primary.

That’s the sort of thing that will go down well with the PA GOP. Bring in a bunch of ringers for the primary, and then tell them go back to their own party for the general.

“They underestimate the desire of the people to be LEFT ALONE”

I think people underestimate a new generation of voters who feel a need to be “taken care of”.

Specter will switch parties. he’ll win the dem primary and then re-election.

Throw him out of the party, now. He is about to screw us again on the earmark omnibus bill in a couple of days. Do not let him run as a repub. If he does the party has no shame and deserves its place on the back bench.

That assumes Republicans don’t have a chance of knocking off any other incumbent Democrats in 2010, and that would go against all historical precedent for midterm elections.

rockmom on March 10, 2009 at 12:18 PM

Well, of course. If people begin waking up and seeing what is happening to our fine country, 2010 will be a slaughter for the democrats. But, Specter will still vote with the democrats. At least we won’t be blamed for his vote if he’s thrown out of office.
