Did you give money to Arlen Specter?


If so, and you want a refund, call him at (202) 224-4254 and demand your money back.

Does the NRSC gets its money back too?

Cornyn and company yesterday: “Arlen Specter is our best hope for winning PA, so we need to do whatever it takes for him to beat Pat Toomey, who has zero chance of winning the state.”

Cornyn and company today: “We knew that Arlen Specter was just a Democrat in disguise, and it’s important that we help Pat Toomey win back this seat for a true Republican.”

Well, something like that anyway.

I stopped donating to the NRSC and the NRCC

Michael M. Keohane (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 2:11PM EST (link)

in the 1970′s because they were using my money to support RINO’s and obstruct conservative Republican challengers. I strongly urge people to contribute directly to candidates once you make sure of their bona fides. No more donations to the national committees to support Specters over Toomeys.

Do not classify the words or deeds of your opponents as being hatefull, malicious or criminal in nature if they can also be easily characterized as simple ignorance or gross stupidity. Anon.

I wonder what would be considered a good centralized list of links to simplify donating a few dollars each to many different conservative candidates around the country.

 
 

Please Take McCain with you

Joe6Pak Tuesday, April 28th at 2:12PM EST (link)

Dear Mr. Specter,

While we’re at it would you please McCain and Oylimpi Snow with you?

I say good riddance.

If you are not part of the solution then you’re part of the problem.

Former GOP congressman Pat Toomey is running against Sen. Arlen Specter and I’ll be sending him a little campaign contribution.

We need the Red State army to start making political contributions to candidates in the blue states and this is a good place to start!

McCain is irritating and infuriating at times,

Brian Hibbert (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 2:15PM EST (link)

but he’s mostly on our side. Specter was a liberal Democrat in Republican clothes.

I’ll keep McCain for now, thanks.

“McCain is irritating and infuriating at times mostly, but he’s mostly at times on our side.

But it doesn’t matter what we think of him. So long as he breathes, McCain apparently has a lock in Arizona, according to what the local Republicans have been writing here at RedState.

Have to disagree...

2008 ACU ratings….

Specter 42%(44.47% life)
Snowe 12% (47.88% life)
Collins 20% (49.55% life)

McCain 63% (81.43% life)

Specter was the easy one. While I wouldn’t mind losing McCain, there are bigger fish to fry.

 
 
 
 

Wouldn't it make more sense

Old_Dominion (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 2:16PM EST (link)

to call his campaign HQ? That’s all his DC office is going to tell you to do, and most of them are probably trying to figure out how they can get a new job, since the staff usually quits when a Member switches parties.

 

Questions for Arlen Specter--

Flagstaff (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 2:31PM EST (link)

If you’re elected as a Democrat, will you then come back to the Republican Party? After all, you were such a big advocate of the two-party system a month ago. Is it no longer important?

One more question–why not run as an independent, as Joe Lieberman did? THAT showed real courage.

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964

 

A Fool and His Money

philottee Tuesday, April 28th at 2:43PM EST (link)

Anyone who gave money to Sen. Spector’s campaign because he was a Republican is a fool.

Supporting candidates because of their party affiliation has allowed these types to flourish.

When will deaf, dumb and blind support of candidates, due to which letter follows their name, cease ?

 

Watching his interview, what a self-serving

Old_Crow (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 2:44PM EST (link)

bumbling fool. He confuses himself in mid-sentence.

No statesman here.

This is a greedy self-interested professional politician who will say anything, do anything, believe anything in order to keep his job.

“Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm.” — James Madison

 

I would suggest tea-bagging specter.

skicougar (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 3:04PM EST (link)

i’d choose a PA office and just start sending teabags.

then, i’d start having teabag parties outside his office.

then, if toomey if a real deficit, sovereingty and defense conservative; i’d start inviting him out to speak at the tea parties in front of specter’s office.

specter has shown to be precisely the officeholder that tea bag parties are rallying against. might as well rub his nose in it.

Eat ‘em up Houston Cougars !

 

If the Dems run someone

TxCon (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 3:22PM EST (link)

against him in the primary, I suggest the Republicans that are left in PA go vote for his opponent and finish him and his “Magic Bullet” theory off.

 

Not very surprising

kowalski (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 3:25PM EST (link)

From a politicician’s point of view, Arlen Specter has known for a long time now that his support among Republicans was tapering off and had probably “plateaued” at a very low level. There wasn’t much upside there, because he’s been cashing the checks and presumably doing the demographics about who was sending him ca$h. That means he’s out of money and probably has been for a long time now, and so he switched.

BTW, No.

kowalski (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 3:27PM EST (link)

I never gave any money to Arlen Specter. I almost wish I had so I could demand it back.

Unfortunately, this move signals more that Pennsylvania is a much richer vein for money-hungry Democrat politicians than it is for money-hungry Republican politicians. The whole Northeast is this way, really. It’s not a surprise.

Anyone who listened to Arlen Specter over the past several years, particularly when he opined about the state of liberalism among the American people, knew that this was just a matter of time.

Evidently his people think it’s the smartest thing to do in terms of cash flow.

On the other hand, one of the problems for me in the last 12 months is that I haven’t had a dime to give to ANY political candidate or party. I gave $100 to Ogonowski here in Massachusetts but then everyone knows what happened after the tsnuami hit the bow.

I have no doubt that Specter is forward looking and he knows that having a (D) next to his name in Pennsylvania in the next election cycle is going to be more lucrative than having an (R).

 
 
 

Meh, Specter just made it official.

Danielle Davis (ocleverone) (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 3:28PM EST (link)

I wonder if he thinks that he can’t been Toomey in a primary but could beat in the General.

Note to self: Give Toomey as much money as you can.

To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors … I mean it. — Margaret Thatcher

Folks, please note that Toomey is not the only Republican candidate

civil truth (Diary) Tuesday, April 28th at 3:37PM EST (link)

There is a second person running for the Republican nomination, and she’s also a solid conservative with a respectable base of support; she just doesn’t have the national name recognition that Toomey does.

The PA Republican conservatives are going to need some time to recalibrate. Hopefully they can find a way to avoid a nasty and expensive primary fight, as Specter is going to be tough to beat in the general with all the money and union support that will be backing him.

Let’s be supportive to PA conservatives as they set a new course.
