Murdock: Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter: It's time to retire RINO

[NewHampshireDem]

If there is anything repugs don't seem to understand, it is that we live in a presidential representative demoncracy. This isn't a parliamentary system. Representatives are supposed to reprsent their constitutents, not their party.

This article would be handy to whip out anytime a repug calls his party a "big tent" party. It isn't. It's lockstep or you're out."

ARE YOU sick and tired of seeing fake Republicans buckle under to Democratic pressure, block vital reforms and blow tax dollars as if they printed them themselves? If so, help Rep. Pat Toomey beat Sen. Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania’s April 27 GOP Senate primary.

Specter, conversely, could not be a bigger RINO (Republican in Name Only) if a giant horn suddenly sprang from his nose.

It’s time for Toomey to nail this RINO trophy to the wall.

Toomey’s victory would warn RINOs: If they keep sabotaging free-market and Republican principles, those who value ideology over incumbency will stop tolerating them. Instead, GOP candidates who favor limited government will challenge these “diet-Democrats” and — with assistance from like-minded primary voters — extract them from Washington. Thus, even before he arrives, Pat Toomey could become the spinal implant the Republican Senate so badly needs.
