Reply #2: What can I do to convince you and other DUers that [View All]

Arlen Specter has been working for the Bush family, or for the intelligence community, or for whatever you want to call this cabal, since at least 1963?

I'd truly take Trent Lott or Ted Stevens over Arlen Specter.

The only reason Specter chairs the Judicial Committee is because the Bushes want and need him there. On the surface, Orrin Hatch is a much better match for Bush's political philosophies, but it's not the surface stuff that the Bushes worry about.

Moreover, the only reason Specter is still in the Senate at all is because the Bushes went far beyond any reasonable expectations to save him from Pat Toomey just last year. Again, on the surface, Toomey's political philosophies are a much, much better match for Bush, but that's not what the Bushes really care about.

The Bushes asked, if not ordered, Specter to take this.

If we don't understand it, it's gonna eat us up:
