Specter has said that he wil not change his position on card check.

He's gonna have to change it back... again.  Rendell won't clear the field for him if he doesn't.

The Facebook and Conservative website comments are amazing.  Our own activists want to give away Snowe, Collins, McCain, Alexander to the Dems.

This is insanity.

We're more than happy to take Snowe and Collins. Tongue

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As for EFCA, Specter will most certainly have to vote for it now or he will face a primary challenger who will most certainly be AFL-CIO backed.

The Facebook and Conservative website comments are amazing.  Our own activists want to give away Snowe, Collins, McCain, Alexander, Gov. Schwarzenegger, to the Dems.

This is insanity.

Actually, it is quite rational, if misguided, when you consider the reason why.

It is really an internal civil war between the GOP establishment and its own voters.

The GOP base (I'm damned tired of that word) wants to ensure that the establishment will never "force" them into supporting another compromising, socially liberal John McCain type again. Or be "tricked" into embracing a big-spending, talk-right-but-govern-left establishment Republican like G W Bush and Schwarzenegger. They are pre-emptively eliminating threats before they can reach the level of Republican standard-bearers.

Keep pissing on your moderates.  Do you want to be a permanent minority?
