WASHINGTON, April 19 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following statement is from Michael Anthony Peroutka, Constitution Party Presidential candidate:
By actively campaigning in Pennsylvania to support extreme liberal Sen. Arlen Specter against a conservative opponent, President Bush has put party over principle. If re-elected, Specter is in line to be Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. This would be a serious setback for Constitutional, conservative government since Specter's record shows that he is an enemy of both.
If President Bush was truly a man of principle, he could never support Arlen Specter's re-election and, in fact, would be working hard against him, and for his conservative opponent.
President Bush has denounced "activist judges" and "activist courts." But, Specter supports what is arguably the most evil "activist court" decision in our history -- the Roe vs. Wade decision which "legalized" abortion and destroyed the lives of more than 40 million innocent, unborn children. Specter is also for partial-birth abortion which is really infanticide. He's for taxpayer-funding of abortion. And he's against parental notification before abortions.
In addition, Specter led the effort to stop Robert Bork from becoming a U.S. Supreme Court justice but he voted for the far- Left liberal Ruth Bader Ginzburg to become a high-court justice. He refused to vote for the impeachment of Bill Clinton. And he opposed giving the Boy Scouts access to schools and Federal buildings unless they agreed to allow homosexuals Scout leaders.
In another trip to Pennsylvania, in November of 2002, President Bush thanked Specter for working with him on many big issues such as "to make sure the federal judiciary is staffed and full of fine, fine people." But, Arlen Specter, because of his extreme liberal views, is not a person who should be staffing the Federal judiciary or any judiciary.
As President, I would never put my party over my principles.
