GOP group launches anti-Specter robocalls

By Peter Jackson, Associated Press Writer
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A national Republican group is hitting the telephones to remind Pennsylvania Democrats that Sen. Arlen Specter was endorsed by President Bush in 2004 and that he angered labor unions by opposing a bill to make it easier for workers to form unions.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee launched its "robocall" campaign Wednesday. Spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson says the group aims to reach 100,000 Democratic voters through Thursday.

The taped message includes audio clips of Bush endorsing Specter in his last election campaign and of Specter saying that the "card check" legislation supported by organized labor is "a bad deal."

1. "A swing....anda miss..."
We are not single-issue voters....not like the GOP ....and the GOP doesn't understand that we're more concerned with the number 60 than we are with a 2004 endorsement from Bush*.

2. As a Progressive Liberal, I support these calls

I don't care if Specter changed corners, I would not support him in the Democratic primary.
