Guest MikeSC Report post Posted November 3, 2004 Since we lost PA, why the fuck was it so damned vital for Bush to help Specter? He could've backed Toomey, an infinitely better choice, and not been hurt at all by it. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted November 3, 2004 I dunno. Hell, Arlen didn't do SHIT for Bush. He never stumped for Bush. He didn't help other PA candidates. Bush made a mistake helping that stupid fuck when his primary. Toomey would have won PA for Bush. And made my EV prediction closer to reality. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2004 Not too ironic that Kerry voters split their ticket and voted Specter in many cases. I wouldn't say that Toomey would've carried PA, the same way that Salazar didn't help the Dems carry CO. It might've been possible, but I doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2004 I'm surprised he didn't (help Toomey). Toomey was a big proponent of the "ban gay marriage" amendment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted November 3, 2004 I'm surprised he didn't (help Toomey). Toomey was a big proponent of the "ban gay marriage" amendment. From what I gather, the administration's official policy was to support all Republican incumbents. Which shows that Rove is not God. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2004 Sure seemed to work though, didn't it? Given that they, y'know, widened their lead in both houses and managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in the Presidential one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2004 If Toomey would have beaten Spector, Hoeffel would have beaten Toomey. And Bush wouldn't want wacky Arlen mad at him -- Specter might hold up some of Bush's judical nominees as a result... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Banders Kennany Report post Posted November 4, 2004 How could Spector do that if he was a beaten man. I voted for Hoeffel because Spector is such a Bush hardliner it is ridiculous. He may not have stumped for Bush, but he must subscribe to the school of lamism with his speeches so it's no big loss. He takes in all of Bush's policies with open arms so that must count for something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toomey would have gotten the social conservatives that I have doubts much cared for Specter. And THEM coming out could've easily swayed PA over to the Bush column. Now, that twat has the ability to kill judicial nominees. How could Spector do that if he was a beaten man. I voted for Hoeffel because Spector is such a Bush hardliner it is ridiculous. He may not have stumped for Bush, but he must subscribe to the school of lamism with his speeches so it's no big loss. He takes in all of Bush's policies with open arms so that must count for something. Actually, he doesn't side with Bush all that often. He's of the Snowe and Chaffee school of being a Republican (namely, he isn't really one). He had a comfortable lead and could have gotten off his bony ass to stump for Bush. I guess he was too busy looking up Scottish law (impeachment reference!) to help. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
