Specter blames Kemp’s death on Republicans

This is just a despicable statement on the part of a politically expedient Congressional relic. If only the Republicans had spent more money on research, Jack Kemp would be alive. Set aside the fact that he offers absolutely no evidence more government money would have led to a cure of Jack Kemp’s cancer, what he seems to be suggesting is that had Congress listened to “Ole Arlen” and if he remains in office … there will be a cure for all cancer. To even suggest this 24 hours after Mr Kemp’s death is despicable.

Very reminiscent of John Edwards “elect me and Christopher Reeve will walk again. Narcissism on parade. The world just can’t afford not to elect me.

Professional politicians throughout history have distinguished themselves from ordinary human beings by a singular incapacity for shame. In this respect, Arlen Specter is part of a lineage that dates back to antiquity, one largely populated by creatures devoid of conscience, ethical standards or compassion.

As for Specter's present remarks, I am fairly certain that were Signor Dante still alive he might be tempted, for the fate of those who endeavor to capitalize upon the untimely death of a fellow human being, to describe a deeper, darker Circle of Hell.

Amen....

I feel the hogs are going to get REAL fat soon.

The reprehensible Arlene Sphincter should take the time to read some of Kemp's own words before he tries to use Kemp to support greater government interference in the marketplace.

Capitalist for the Common Man

I am familar with the history and back story. I always thought that Democratic campaign promises invariably sound like the story of the Big Rock Candy Mountain. How naive do they think we are? Apparently, they are correct in their assessment of the electorate.
