Better-than-expected article from the Inquirer, who merely referred to Toomey as "Specter's opponent" until election day '04.
Team Toomey must hone a snappy retort to the "WallStreet Deregulater" accusation. (In fact, has Team Toomey already released a refutation? Well, get going!)
Toomey needs to make his decision once and for all, patch up things with Luksik and bring her onto the team, and then go for Specter's jugular.____And where are those nitwits on the state GOP?
I thought we advocated Competitive Primaries. Let the voters, rank and file Republicans be involved in the process. What is so bad about that?
Blaum is positively giddy over Specter. I think that his leg is tingling.
He congratulates Obama for getting the Stim-U-Less bill passed. He thinks that it is a great achievement. He doesn't care about it being unconstitutional and guaranteed to fail. He's just excited that it passed.
He finishes his article with this:
"Arlen Specter is very smart and very gutsy. Isn’t that what every senator should be?"
NO!
Every senator should be honest to his constituents and represent them, not his own views, and they should be faithful to the Constitution. Specter is neither.
Incumbent politicians in general and Arlen Specter in particular need to get kicked out.
For now the way we do that is to vote them out.
In May of next year, Arlen Specter should lose the GOP Primary.
And here's to Pat Toomey doing just that.
20 10 30 Out.
He's 80 years old! WHY is he in a panic?
Is power that important to him that we'll have to pry it from his cold, dead hands?
I really don't get this guy…Or is he worried about someone uncovering something he doesn't want uncovered?
Heard Specter was on WHP this morning and has already started his campaign attacks against Toomey, accusing him of being one of the Wall Street investment bankers that create our current problems before Toomey ran for Congress (and never mind the fact that it was Specter who voted for bailout).
Seems to me Specter's polling is in the tank and he knows it and he has gone into panic mode.
Running a US Senate campaign: $10 million dollars.
Watching Specter meltdown: Priceless
YES – power is THAT important to him. Facing his own mortality, he sees how empty his life would be without that power.
Pat seems to have a severe case of political constipation. His "people" have been waiting in the wings for nearly five years. Six weeks ago he was going to run for governor. Now he's "probably" going for the senate. Remember he is no DC virgin. He swam in that swamp for six years.
