Bye bye, Chairman Specter?

You know, if you didn't like Specter you didn't have to vote for him.  Bush and Santorum didn't have to endorse him (I guess their lust for power outweighed their better judgement, eh?).  Don't blame me, I voted for Hoeffel.

Your party seems to be lynching its moderates though.  McCain, Chaffee, Whitman, and now Specter are all being shouted down by the extreme rightwing.

I'm not of voting age yet. Thank God I didn't have to cast a ballot for him and at this point, I have come to the decision that I would have voted for Clymer. I would have actually campaigned for Specter before voting for Hoeffel.

I am disappointed in President Bush and Senator Santorum for supporting Specter. Now they have to deal with him. If the President and Santorum had stayed out, Toomey would have won by about 4-6 points.

My party isn't lynching anyone. People like Specter and Chafee pretty much stand in the way of what Republicans believe in.

Toomey would have lost


Anyway you guys are basically lyniching the moderates in your party 9Specter, Chafee, McCain) anyone that doesn't believe in the hard-core right-wing philosophy that dares question Bush you guys treat like dirt

Toomey would have won.

Anyway, this party gives moderates a big voice. How did we "lynch" McCain? He was a prime time speaker at the convention! Specter received a lot of support from the GOP establishment. Must have been a "lynching" in disguise, right Smash? And Specter isn't even a moderate! He's a liberal.

Everything is "far right" with you. You throw around that label far too lightly.

Toomey would have lost.  Yes PA has its Conservtaive parts, but as much as you think it is PA is NOT a Conservative state overall, it is a MODERATE state overall.  And a moderate state isn't going to elect two far right senators

The whole South Carolina "push polls" for one.  Republicans on this board blast McCain all the time for speaking against Bush.  Specter gets trashed a lot for not being in line with the party.  Basically anyone that speaks out against Bush is branded as disloyal

Right....that's why Santorum, a conservative, has the highest approval ratings and lowest disapproval ratings in the state. No way Toomey could have won, right?

Specter is a RINO. He's not a moderate, he's a liberal and has turned his back on this party and what it believes after the party supports him. I'm tired of it.

You site a poll 5 months old for this.  Anyway in moderate states you will sometimes see a liberal or a conservative in the senate, but you will very rarley see two liberals or two conservaties from a moderate state.  On most categories  (looking at the enitr voting record) Specter pretty much fits into the moderate category with a  slight left lean.  He isn't as far to the left as Chafee.  Specter didn't turn his back on the party.  He has ALWAYS been a moderate.  The party has shifted further to the right and expected Specter to follow suit.  Specter isn't going to change his views and go further right simply because the party has or it would be what is expected of him being a Republican.  He is not a conservative, never was, never will be, yet some people expect him to change his views just to make the conservatives in the party happy

Specter has played games with this party for a very long time. He's a RINO.

By the way, Santorum and Toomey are not far right. I know you're used to Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton but that doesn't mean that when you see someone to the right of them that they are far right.

Santorum and Toomey are far right.  Both have had steady  ratings in the 90's the last few years from the ACU.  Santorum's lifetime rating is only below that because he was more moderate during the 90's, but look at the last 5 years or so & both have VERY Conservative voting records

We have different views on what far right is, I guess. Bunning, Inhofe, Falwell, Robertson...now that's far right. I don't think Santorum and Toomey fit into that category.

Well judging on some of the comments on gays Santorum has made........

Yeah...he also said gays are children of God, like everyone else. What a far right wing extremist!

Name a single issue either one is moderate on. BTW, Toomey has a lifetime ACU rating of 97. What's that if it's not far right?

I've told you in the past that if someone has conservative views, that doesn't make them far right. You want to label them far right, you find far right views. I know that's hard for you, BRTD but everytime you label someone far right, I'll ask you to point out their extremist views. Ready....go...
