SPECTER EXPLAINS HIMSELF

Senator Arlen Specter, Republican (by registration), says it is very simple. He is supporting President Obama's spending bill because the United States cannot afford to sit idly by and do nothing. He said so himself in a column he wrote for the Washington Post, published this morning.

I think it's simple, too. Senator Arlen Specter is getting too old to let his knees jerk that violently. He could rupture a patella.

With inaction, he warns, it could be too late for the United States. In other words, this crisis - which you'd have to believe is close to being worse than the Great Depression or maybe the worst ever to befall homosapiens anywhere - could potentially destroy almost two-hundred-thirty-three years of existence unless we incur astronomical amounts of additional debt.

Along with some nearly incoherent references about MovieTone news reels, he laid out his reasons why the Obama bill must be implemented to save America. Said the rambling Rino:

[Trod Upon]

I think the suckers in PA would be better served by an out of the closet ‘rat than by this turkey.

[Jeff Head]

Specter has been bought and paid for for a long time. His actions and arguments here just punctuate that point.

He does not care what Americans think, he does not care what is best for this Republic.

The people of Pennsylvania simply must wake up and eject this man as their representative. If he thought there was a serious chance of that, he would change his stance. The people of PA must make him feel that way so they he will be forced to act in their best interest...and then at the next election they need to eject him anyway.

Obama and his ilk are enemies to all we hold dear in this republic. They are going about bringing their marxist "fundamental chhange" that they have promised and which so many Americans did not even bother to investigate...but which now they will live with until we can turn it around.

Forward to a beach head in 2010, and victory in 2012. Until then we must fight a strong and committed holding action.

WRITE ALL GOP SENATORS TODAY

IT'S TIME FOR A RETURN TO THE OLD SCHOOL

If the RNC doesn’t come out and support a conservative primary challenger to this liberal old fossil I’ll never donate another cent to the party. I know The RNC doesn’t support primary challengers to sitting GOP Senators but this is an extreme exception. C’mon Chairman Steele, show us what you’re made of!

[TheOgre]

The suckers in PA continue to elect Murtha. What more needs to be said?

[caver]

Specter explains that he is part of the problem.

[roses of sharon]

PA citizens can go to hell....moochers and looters, all.

What obviously must happen in these situations is that this is all done by political calculation and backroom deals, and then, maybe as an afterthought, the assclowns come out to “explain” their decision. Something for the punters. So, particularly when the congresscritters get old and brain-addled, their “explanations” have the clarity of Scottish Law. But of course, the “explanation” is only window dressing after the fact, and has nothing really to do with why the decision was taken.

[Malacoda]

Hey, now. There are several of us who are FReepers, who didn’t vote for the Sphincter, and think he’s a complete douche.

[pallis]

These multi billion dollar quick fixes are nothing but knee jerk reactions to the market. Specter should put on his depends, and go home before his senility ties an anchor around the necks of our children and grandchildren.

[geologist]

There is a huge expanse between no action and the wrong action. What they agreed to do (too quickly in my mind) ... is absolutely the wrong action. Too little time spent considering the waste ... from the gain. Too little time creating effective (laughable when mentioning congress) rules and conditions approved for appropriate spending of the monies given.

Truly a Machiavellian plan.

SPECTER EXPLAINS HIMSELF

Oh...that's good...and here I was thinking it was because he's the world's biggest RINO.

[roses of sharon]

PA’s Democrat citizens! (of course)

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Being a man whore must not be against the law in Scotland.

[Texas Fossil]

Some things need no explanation:

Senator Arlen Specter = RINO TRAITOR

[PubliusMM]

If, in Sen. Specter’s mind, the ONLY choice is the Porkulus bill or do nothing, he made the wrong choice. And, that choice should haunt him right on into retirement from public service.

[Lets Roll NOW]

This man MUST be defeated. McCain and “Magic Bullet” Specter should be targets 1 and 2.

[lone star annie]

I agree. They have been going bluer and bluer for a decade. Spectacle just needs to change parties because if he is not the Senator, it will be another RAT. I don’t get how the RAT senators from the Red states are getting away with this. There are more of them than there are the likes of Snowed, Collins and Spectacle.

[LoveUSA]

“Being a man whore must not be against the law in Scotland”

I remind Senator Specter of his Scottish law gaff several times a year. His lackey staff is so young now that they don’t know what I’m talking about.

[roses of sharon]

Why do we not call out our fellow citizens on their THEFT?

Why don’t we shame them?

Why do we blame the pol they elect?
