He is more pro-big government that they are. Further, he has outright contempt for conservatives that the ladies do not share. Recall in 1996 when he ran for President and about all he did was say vile things about the religious right. He showed an outright hate not just disagreement.

And you have to go back 18 years to find something he did right?! After Specter nuked Bork he had to support Thomas or go down in to defeat in 1992.

We should be diligent in recruiting and supporting a primary opponent to bump this schmuck out of office. He got a free ride in years past when his butt was covered by moderate Republicans. This should not happen again. That is what they are for. We should be diligent in recruiting and supporting a primary opponent to bump this schmuck out of office.

Is this a problem? Obviously not ... he's sooooo bad that a Democrat in the office would be infinitely better! I don't always agree with Specter. but he worked for <i>years</i> on an issue with which I was much concerned ... my <i>own</i> Republican Senator sank the measure (thanks to a ~$million from lawyer interests) ... and didn't even <i>remember</i> the Bill, when I asked him about it in DC! Please do not forget that our representatives get elected to represent their constituents ... if some State or another doesn't agree entirely with The Party Line, DEAL WITH IT! Be thankful for the support no matter how tentative, sometimes. Regarding the "stimulus:' It is "no so good" ... but may be necessary for those who haven't saved anything. If you are still working, support it. If you bought a real cool house for no, little or 5% down payment, walk away and get a trailer!

However, I am deeply troubled by the recent reports that you are considering supporting the stimulus bill currently before the Senate. I am a conservative activist, and I recognize that this bill represents an abandonment of everything that has made America the greatest country in the history of the Earth. Our party must be an anchor to prevent the communization of this great nation. We spent a half-century, thousands of lives, and billions of dollars to defeat communism abroad. All of this will have been in vain if we allow that inherently evil system to take root here. I supported your re-election in 2004 even when many of my ideological brethren did not, but please be advised; if you vote for this bill, my wife and I will each contribute the maximum amount of money allowable by law to any conservative primary challenger you may face next year, even if it means that we will have to borrow money to do so. In addition, I will take leave from my job in order to come to Pennsylvania and volunteer for the campaign of any such challenger. Senator Specter,

However, this is a watershed moment. I think we need Mitch McConnell to call a caucus meeting right before the vote on final passage of this bill and tell the GOP senators to consider the vote the same as the organizational vote. That is, it will determine from whom you receive committee assignments, etc. for the rest of the current Congress. Seriously, we should oust any supporters from the caucus PRIOR to the vote so that the communization bill can not be associated with the GOP in any way.

AKA stimulus bill. I truely hope that the Republican party wakes up and gets these rino idiots out of the party especially Specter. Specter needs to be reminded everyday of his betrayal to this state but more so to his country. Bring on 2010, not only to get the House back but to get Specter out before he does anymore damage to the country and the Republican Party.
