As we approach the Pennsylvania primaries tomorrow, President Bush says he supports incumbent GOP Sen. Arlen Specter for re-election over more conservative Pat Toomey, because Specter is “a firm ally when it matters.”

So that must mean “it” doesn’t matter when it’s time to:

confirm non-activist, constitutional judges;

support school vouchers;

defeat the unions’ anti-business tactics;

cut pork from federal spending;

support pro-life legislation;

support tax cuts;

impeach President Clinton;

support free-market principles;

defeat big government.
