So is this how Michael Steele "punishes" the pugs who voted for the stimulus?

I do remember him saying he was going to punish the pugs that voted with President Obama. So is this all part of his special double secret plan?

1. It would have been, but Arlen Specter's mama messed it up by raising him wrong.

2. That may be the best thing to come of this switch on Specter's part

There have to be pugs who'd like to vote with Obama on some things. The pugs have kept them in line with threats of a primary challenge and denying support. I have a feeling this may stop the threats. If so, we may see more reasonable behavior from some of them.

3. That's a serious answer to a silly question, and a very good point. nt

4. If you could reason with Republicans there wouldn't BE any Republicans. n/t

5. Hey, Steele: you're a big, fat failure. Just like you failed here in MD to win the Senate

You failed trying to destroy a member of your party!

Specter to Steele: 'How ya like me now?'

6. michael steel's threat..

"* The new chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, has his work cut out for him. He has his share of critics. Steele said after Specter, Collins and Snowe voted for the stimulus plan that perhaps the Republican Party should not provide funds to help them win their re-election bids. "Oh, yes, I'm always open to everything, baby, absolutely," Steele told the Fox News Channel in February."
