Editor's note: Following is an excerpt from the book "2010: Take Back America: A Battle Plan," which Harper will release on Tuesday.
Start with this: Arlen Specter has been a turncoat and a buffoon who has been in the United States Senate for far too long. For 30 years, he's always been a wild card, never reliably Republican in his voting pattern; in fact, he consistently disagreed with the party about 25 percent of the time. But even though he was always a maverick and frequently at odds with numerous Republican positions, Specter never gave any indication that he might bolt from the party and ally himself with the Obama administration.
That is, until 2009, when his poll numbers crashed and his chances of re-election looked impossible. Fearing that Republican voters would throw him out of the Senate in the 2010 election, Specter made a strategic decision to renounce the Republicans and switch to the Democratic Party to try and stay in the Senate.
His move gave the Democrats the critical 60th member they needed to block Republican filibusters until Scott Brown won the Senate seat in Massachusetts. But at the time he joined them, giving the Democrats their 60th vote was a very big deal: It marked the first time that either party has had 60 votes in the Senate since 1978.
Specter's formal announcement of his resignation from the Republican Party gave new meaning to the word obnoxious.(continued)

Possibly the Dulles clan called their marker on his Warren Commission work that covered their misdeeds!
Me neither, but I suspect he's not making all that much money these days. He doesent have the greatest credibility.
I posted my comment before I read yours. I was thinking the same thing. I read the Wikipedia article on Dulles and how Henry Kissenger was his translator in Germany after WW II. How Kennedy fired Dulles and was crushing the CIA for the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
The clan never expected Nixon to lose to Kennedy. That why Bush, Sr. a former director of the CIA was Reagan’s VP in case he became a “Maverick.” They didn’t want to make the same mistake again. I then went on to read about the Sorros, Rothschild Family ties from when Sorros was a double abent for Hitler and the Rothschilds. They are his $$ backers.
I really started to read up on this to figure out why Warren Buffet supported O’Bummer and why he opened a branch in the Cayman Islands for his Bank. O’Bummer’s former campaign finance chair lived there and his computer geek people handling his online fundraising. I couldn’t write a fiction story better than this puzzle that is coming together.
What I am saying is that the same money is still working the puppet strings!

Yep you pull on thread and thousand become unreavled it makes you head spin trying to keep up with!
What irks me one can spend hour or years tracking this stuff and when you voice it those who did squat enjoy shooting it down!
So much I was aware of in the 80’s and hours of fact checking trips to the library and making copies and trying to show footnotes and back up.
Today it has arrive...
k???
Dude must be a MI thing...miss the days! LOL! lived there done that!
My son just got out of the active duty Marines in October. Hope your son is safe and well.
The Zapruda film disputes that. You can see Kennedy grab his throat a few seconds before his head explodes from another bullet. Did the one bullet wait and then travel to his head from his throat? Whether you think that the shots were fired from the book repositary or the grassy knoll, it wasn’t one bullet.
I thought he was raising money on his website to run commercials for defeating Obamacare. I live in an area where those commercials should have run, and I didn’t see hide nor hair of them. Did they ever run anywhere?
Ben is Reserve and has stayed activated since his return from Iraq in Feb. He’s planning to begin college this Fall and perhaps enter an officer track.
The “single bullet theory” doesn’t say that only one bullet hit JFK. It says that the first bullet hitting him is also the one that hit John Connally.
Excuse me, but did I say otherwise? I made no such claim.
Bush, Rove, AND Santorum! I’ll NEVER forget what Santorum did.
That cost him his Senate seat and a shot at the Presidency!
And, Bush violated them!
As soon as he won re-election, Snarlin’ said (or words to the effect) that “he was his own man,” and stuck a butcher knife in President Bush and the Republican’s back!
IIRC, he blocked Bush Judicial nominations?
Snarlin is, as he has proven, a Traitor — to his Party, to his constituents and to his country.
PA voters: PLEASE, OH! PLEASE! RETIRE THIS POS!
As well it should have. But now he’s everywhere, and his name is floating around as a possible Presidential candidate. No way.
Carley, regarding Post #29, you’re absolutely right.
The RSCC also will always take the side of the incumbent in a primary fight. IIRC, Rick Santorum was head of the RSCC at that time and wasn’t gonna back Toomey for that reason alone - even if ideologically agreed with Toomey.
Graham’s chum, McQueeg, came “this close” to jumping to the rats. Jim Jeffords jumped first and Daschle stopped the recruitment effort on Queeg. Lindsay needs to be primaried.
