Toomey says he’ll be ‘prepared to run against either one’

Toomey says he’ll be ‘prepared to run against either one’

Appearing on Fox News Wednesday morning, Republican Senate candidate Pat Toomey promoted his new book, reiterated his now-familiar attacks on Senator Arlen Specter and said he could take on whichever Democrat emerges from next year’s primary.

“Joe Sestak’s a principled liberal,” Toomey said on Fox & Friends. “Arlen Specter, you never know what he believes.

“I’ll be prepared to run against either one,” he added.

    “Joe Sestak’s a principled liberal,” Toomey said on Fox & Friends.

    On a right-wing propaganda show like Fox & Friends, calling someone a “liberal” is worst than calling them a child molester. That’s the show where Glenn Beck infamously claimed Obama was a racist.

    Nice of Joe to help out Toomey with Democratic voters… and he has the nerve to criticize specter for going on fox to discuss vterans issues. Seems rather hypocritical of Sestak to me.

    Seems rather typical of Sestak to me. :-)

    Diano…do you ever shut up? Do you have nothing better to do than comment negatively (and often without a basis in fact) on every post about Sestak. Get over yourself and become a productive member of society.

    uberdem-
    I always have a basis in fact, including using my real name (unlike some).

    Fox & Friends is a terribly right-wing show that consistently misinforms the public.
    Sestak has been pretty consistent being a hypocrite when it comes to this campaign. He’s especially funny when he complains that we need primaries to get the best Democrat, since he’s a guy that dodged having a primary himself when the field got cleared for him.
    What’s wrong with commenting negatively on Sestak? I think he’s a closet conservative and a fraud and I want him out of office.
    Also, I don’t want to see the Dems throwing away more millions of dollars on this guy when we’ve got tough/expensive races against Republicans to win. The 7th district congressional race is already in-the-hole $3 million, because Sestak deceived donors by collecting money for “re-election”, but that money has now been re-directed to a Senate campaign.

    In the business world, it would be criminal. In general, it’s dishonest and unethical. In the Sestak campaign, it’s business as usual. Just because it’s “legal within the rules”, doesn’t make it right. Someone with honor would understand that and offer to give back the money, so it was available for the 7th district race.

    Has anyone asked for their money back?
