Senator Specter has confirmed to ATR that he will vote against both cloture and passage on the Employee Free Choice Act (also known as “card check” or the employee NO choice act). His vote is critical and this a major victory for freedom, as well as a stunning defeat for the other side.

Over a month ago I counted over 10 dems, many in the senate and many non-blue dogs that had already indicated or stated that they would not suppor card check.

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Tuesday, March 24th at 1:23PM EST (link)glad to hear you’re a PA voter looking to toss him
… and in case peeps still haven’t seen this (from the other “Arm Twist” er… “Card Check” program discussions)….
Card Check “compromise” is just the usual Liberal “Incremental-ism” ploy….
They are now tossing about the idea that they will “settle,” to get it passed, at 70% + 1 to Force Unionization rather than the 50%. Then in a year (or after the 2010 Election) they will then just “amend” the law down to 50% as planned all along – and there are STILL folks dumb enough to fall for this ploy/tactic EVERY TIME!!!!
Further, it would not surprise me other idiots (read: companies willing to “support” Card Check now) that feel they have some “unwritten agreement” (read: BACKROOM DEAL, also read as: False promise – convenient “compromise” planned to be broken) with the “Unions” that they will go easy on them and/or not “target” them… To whom I say – YOU PEOPLE ARE ABSOLUTE MORONS THAT HAVE (AND WILL NEVER) LEARN!!!!! The main target, of course – as we all know, is Wal-Mart! They are just the beginning and all the Fool companies that don’t grasp that this is just “incremental-ism” and you will be targeted TOO eventually deserves the hardship you’ll eventually see – THE PROBLEM, of course, is that WE ALL will have to suffer (not just those companies) for their Folly!
A Deal with the Devil, is NO DEAL!

Specter puts two torpedoes into the ship instead of one
tankertodd (Diary) Tuesday, March 24th at 1:49PM EST (link)So since Specter is restraining himself on the destruction of the USS America I should only be half as mad with him? Better to sink the ship and get on with it so we can proceed to courts-martial.
He needs to go. We need to purge the party of Democrat lites and get our rank-and-file to internalize the principles of the party. Specter is poster child of half the problem, but we still had way too many vote for that 90% tax in the House, so that’s the other problem.

The_Rebel (Diary) Tuesday, March 24th at 4:47PM EST (link)Statement from Pat Toomey on Specter’s Conditional Reversal:
“When Senator Specter does a flip flop, it’s worth checking the fine print. On the senate floor today he said: “I would be willing to reconsider Employees’ Free Choice legislation when the economy returns to normalcy.” In other words, if he thinks his political fortunes have improved, he will deny workers a secret ballot after all.” – Former Congressman Pat Toomey
