Arlen Specter finds voters just plain angry (R Senator PA)

[RamboLiberal]

The issues have changed from year to year, but this town hall tour through the state's 67 counties has been the same through the decades. This year, however, the Republican has seen a marked change in the tone and intensity of his questioners.

"The meetings are a lot bigger ... and there's a lot more passion and a lot more anger," he said as he headed from one meeting to another across the rolling, green hills of Washington County. "And they're angry at everything. ... They're boiling mad about Iraq. They're almost that mad about immigration.

"They're as mad about Gonzales as they are about immigration. They're mad at the president for taking all the power he has. There are a lot of people talking about habeus corpus. Where in the hell would you expect to have all these people talking about habeus corpus?"

In a voice that still betrays the flat intonation of his native Kansas, he said, "You can barley get through the litany of screams."

3. Pressure, keep the pressure up.

5. Maybe they're sick of him talking out of both sides of his mouth

One minute he's siding with the Dems against Gonzo the next minute he's stabbing them in the back.

6. You always know where Arlen stands on the issues

It is exactly 180 degrees from whatever comes out of his mouth.

7. Arlen the man who wants to do the right thing but can never find the courage to do so. n/t

10. Amen

Being one of his constituents, I intend to call him tomorrow and reinforce what he has been hearing. Mad, hell I'm madder than mad. The people are coming and he'd better start getting some backbone or we can get rid of him the way we did Sanctorum.

8. I hope to hell that ALL the republicans out there

get his kind of anger thrown at them. They deserve it.
