Specter is a Senator from my state. Despite the support of President Bush to get him re-elected, he has stabbed the President in the back repeatedly.

The radiation was not focused sufficiently to save any Rebuplican brain-cells he may have had functioning.

I seriously thought this post was a Phil Specter joke for a second.

Lemme get this straight;

The one person who is perhaps the biggest pain in the ass to Republicans, in today's Republican party, save John McCain, is now ready to come through? Forgive me; something about this doesn't smell very good.

I'll thank him IF he comes though. But, something doesn't quite mesh, here.... does not compute. (Waves Arms)

Danger! Will Robinson! Danger!

What about the provision that makes it a FEDERAL CRIME to sell someone Sudafed without a note from the doctor? Did that make it through?

Yeah, when I hear the name Spector, my immediate thought is "backstabber."

Spector's word?????

This is one of those compromises like when your wife wants to buy a couch and you want to buy a set of golf clubs and you compromise and buy a couch.

If it passes it will stay passed. No one who opposes the Patriot Act thinks otherwise, this is just a way for them to save face and claim they won something.

But come spring they're going to wish they'd at least held out for a putter.

Spector and the libs have jumped the shark on the security isssues facing the U.S. The libs screwed with the Patriot act and Spector and the libs jumped Bush for protecting us by intercepting messages to terrorists. Have there ever been a greater bunch of diletantes in the Senate? Now Spector is trying to air lift himself and his fellow leftwing travelers off the shark by passing the Patriot act "compromise". Riiiiight. Why don't they just admit they're a bunch of twinkies and let Bush handle the whole security issue as he sees fit?
