Quote of the Day "Well, I probably shouldn't say this. But I have thought from time to time that I might have helped the country more if I'd stayed a Republican."

-- Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), in an interview with the Allentown Morning Call, questioning his party switch one year ago.

Well, now, isn't this rich? Yeh, Arlen, this country really needs you, it doesn't matter which party you whore yourself out to. Just win, Pat, just win.

Arlen, Arlen, you were not a Republican, you were a RINO.

Hey Arlen!....

Ask NOT what you can do for your country...

Just retire and go away!

In his weird way of thinking, he’s right. If he had stayed a Republican, he could still vote with the Dims and torpedo the filibuster—or something to that effect.

It’s not to late Arlen! John Cornyn will take you back. He’ll dump Toomey so fast it will make your head spin. He’s always loved you.

He might have helped the country more if he had committed ritual suicide.

Translation from this RAT Specter:

“Maybe I could have helped the Democrats more if I remained a pretend Republican.”

More:

“It seems to work for McCain, Graham-nesty and now La Raza Rubio.”

But he could have really helped the country by admitting himself to a nursing home, spending his days watching soap operas and yelling at his nurse to "act like a lady".

You can do the country the most good if you retire, Arlen.

No Arlen, you would’ve done the country good if you never considered public office in the first place.

My guess is he misses all the “bi-partisan” ass-kissing he lost when he switched from counter-partisan Republican to staunchly-partisan Democrat.

In reality, if your votes would be the same, your party makes no difference. You are what you are, and your affect on the country is no different.

Maybe. But it’s certain that the GOP is better off without you, Arlen, you dope.
