Do as Lieberman did; the Dems didn't want him to win the primary, so he lost the primary. But then he ran as an Independent and the good folks in CT reelected him. Speckey hasn't been a Republican for many years. I'm surprised he took the cheap way out. Thought he had more honor than that. Turn the lights out when you leave. |

If you run and lose in a Pennsylvania primary your name cannot appear on the ballot for the general election. If Lieberman lived in Pennsylvania he would have had to do the honorable thing; concede defeat and retire. As it is the slimy little **** weasel snuck back into the Senate through the back door of Connecticut oddity. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Your spelling goes out the window when you get wound up, and it's a hoot to watch! g ....oh, and don't get me started on Chris Dodd. A bigger ****-weasel I have never met. He impressed me with his sliminess when I was in grad school, and I've not gained an ounce of respect for him yet. Lieberman and I were on opposite sides for a while in the early 80's. He sent a large group of friends to my home to visit me once. I since gave him a political donation, one election in the past decade. I'm just not happy about his stance on foreign affairs, and his lack of respect for the opinions of his constituents. As for Specter, I have been impressed with him consistently over the 23 years I have lived in PA. Tom |

Really, REALLY? Try again. "Let's look at the first 100 days of the GOP. The new public spokesmen for the minority opposition are polarizing retreads -- former Vice President Dick Cheney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The so-called new ideas are fewer taxes and less spending. They have lost a key congressional election. They have almost unanimously opposed every economic proposal in Congress. "Their reward? In the latest Washington Post-ABC News survey, only 21 percent now identify themselves as Republicans. Even stalwart GOPers are scared by those numbers, which are at the lowest level in 25 years. "We look like the Keystone Kops," grouses one GOP strategist. "The Americans are at a point where they want something done. And they can't choose when they don't see another option." So, you got those lovely poll numbers working for you. I suggest you carry a flashlight 24/7 from now on, because where your party is heading - nay - already arrived - you're going to need it. |

Hell, no, but there is no one, and I mean no one, in PA politics I would rather have represent me in DC. Tom A perfect example of the partisan foothold in the US. The main reason he's switching because he if he doesn't, he's at risk. IOW, if the same guy, who'll vote the same way (more or less), runs as GOP, Obama, etc. won't support him, but if he calls himself a Dem, they will. Same decent guy, same principles, different label. So much for "one America" and bi-partisanship. OTOH, the GOP is being (semi)steered and encouraged (or blood-enraged) by a pack of morons. So, in the end, I don't guess it's so improper to see if the other pack of morons over across the aisle can't be more helpful... At least Joe had the sense to change BY an election. The folks in PA elected a Republican, not a Democrat. If he wants to change to a Dem, do it BY an election, not by fraud.

Speckey hasn't been a Republican for many years. I'm surprised he took the cheap way out. Thought he had more honor than that. Oh, geezus-on-a-donkey, Dave, he's up in 2010 - if the urbane, savvy and wise voters of PA (certain persons obviously excepted) can't determine who to vote for without a partisan cheatsheet, well, then, they'll get the representation they deserve.... Turn the lights out when you leave. Um, well, maybe all the light-turning-out is a big part of the problem....hey, YMMV... And speaking of non-events, I took a **** this morning when I woke up....

Let me be perfectly clear - I think you are a moron of very little political knowledge or insight - there is something ****ed-up about the GOP (and no, I'm not a member) and you and those whose think and act like you are what's ****ed up about it, just as your counterparts in the Dem party. You are not "a conservative," (or "liberal" or any other legitimate political persuasion of thought and consideration, even if miscalled or self-identified), you are simply an unintelligent reactionary, and IMO, an idiot. And there you are, R |
