Democrat Specter Gets PA Thumbs Up

I think this is sad, he changed parties so he could win.

Winning is everything.

Smart move Specter.

No nancy it's about: Integrity is consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations and outcome. He has none, it's about him, it's time for hims to step aside.

Spector will be lucky to win a Democratic primary in Pa. His potential vote against health care and card check still keeps him in the Republican camp.He'll be wondering in the wilderness along with LIEberman.

Bet Jane voted for him when he was Republican. Bet Jane likes when Dems switch. That's consistency, Jane? That's integrity.

i would vote for ridge long before i would specter. if he changed parties just to get re-elected, then he isnt loyal to anyone but himself.

Ridge won't beat Toomey in the Republican primary. Is why Specter pulled out. If Ridge appeals to moderates and independents, he won't appeal to the right wingers who will vote in the primary. That's why Specter couldn't beat Toomey. So the irony is that the people who could win statewide won't win in the Republican primary and the Republican who can win the primary won't win statewide. Makes the Democrats lick their chops.

So now Ridge is good enough but he wasn't when you Morons were trouting aroung the Alaskin Bimbo. His support of a womens rights to chose isn't as important now? What frauds.. It's too late. We all know where you all stand with your stone age mentality and Views.

It's a very smart move, he should beat Toomey but if Ridge somehow wins the primary it will be very close. almost frankin / cloeman close.

Hey Wiz, I'll take that crowd any day over King Obama and his band of non tax paying court jesters!!

HOW DARE JEB BUSH, McCain, Romney and the morons who have destroyed the republican party want to keep up their same old garbage!!! LOOK who energized the base and it was Palin not some so called moderate who is really a liberal(McCain). I did not vote for McCain and never again will vote republican unless the conservatives take over and I will also very, very actively campaign for people to leave the party and join conservative or independent parties with real people not profession pinheads who have destroyed the conservative base of the party-to heck with those dopes who are not in touch with the people they claim to be listening to.

At the rate the democrats are spending the tax payers money, we might be ready for another change by election time.

Both Ridge and Specter are good choices.
However, I am not going to support any
more Republicans UNTIL they get rid of
the really stupid, the right wing and
the American Taliban.

Lee S, the Republicans were the big spenders during the last administration, they left our country with the highest debt in American history, so if there is a change the next election time, I don't think that change be back to the hum-drum Republicans. What a joke the last administration was!

The simple fact is: Specter is a thief of grand theft proportions. He has stollen the faith and campaign contributions of his former constituents.

Specter like liberman are men that truly don't represent anything or anyone but themselves! Specter made a deal with the Democrates to switch if they would help him get reelected to the Senate. What does this say about loyalty, responsibility or CORE BELIEFS in representing your constituents? It says the only constituent specter ever represented is HIMSELF!!! The only way Americans are going to receive true representation is to insist on term limits!!!!

the democrats are spending more in 100 days then the gop did in 8 years. the 1st 700 billion tarp was at end of W's term, but pushed by dem congress. the gop tried to stop it, but they added 150 billion more for toy wooden arrows, rum, and a race track, and hundreds of other earmark pork to get key congressmen to change their vote. so that was a 850 billion bail out, tech during bush's term, but really a democratic bail out. the mess was caused by the dems zeal to stop red lining and loan $4 to their core constituents who really shouldn't have been allowed to borrow money( no income verify, nothing down) but they would not have got us working people to just give them the money to buy a house direct. so they got us to indirectly ( we are paying for the bail out) the fact Barney is sleeping with a Fannie mae guy doesn't upset the dems( one of his boyfriends was running a escort service out of Barney's condo so why would it?) the GOP tried to rein in Fannie and Freddie and were rebuked by the dems. they gave the ex head of Fannie a 90 million bonus/ golden parachute they liked his work so well. they are paying the UAW 90% of wages plus all the fringes forever to not work. ( the rest of us get regular unemployment)they want to let illegals in as they vote democratic. they expand gov. as they unionize, and vote democratic. soon their will not be enough of us workers left to pay for all the well fare they want to give to the non workers.

RIDGE WILL NOT BEAT SPECTER IN PA WILL NOT!

"the 1st 700 billion tarp was at end of W's term, but pushed by dem congress." Crag honey, the 700 billion was proposed and pushed by the Bush administration. Yes, once the Congress got it, they added on lots of goodies, which were eventually taken out. But if your hero, Dubya, didn't like any of it, he could have vetoed it in a minute. And he had the votes to sustain his veto. Honey, please don't try to make as if the Republicans were innocent bystanders. In that debacle, neither side came out smelling like a rose....

Of course Specter changed parties because it was the only way for him to get reelected. What isn't being noted is that the reason Specter can't win the Republican primary is that a large number of moderate Republicans changed parties the last election. Much of Specter's base is not in the Democratic Party. In a way, he is just late in making the same move that many of his constituents did.
