Vanity: THANK YOU, Arlen Specter

Hey, Arlen...when you put your finger in the political wind back in April, I guess it seemed smart--if only in the realm of self-preservation--to switch parties.

Well...karma being a female dog and all, what may have seemed smart last spring ain't so smart today.

If there's any justice in this world, the very defection that you thought would save your political career will instead sink it.


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS:
How to ruin your legacy in 3 easy steps:

Step 1: Become a wishy-washy RINO. Step 2: Switch parties to save your career. Step 3: Be swept into the ash bin of history.

Good riddance (I hope).

spector is a coward and old man who has lost it... we will vote him out as well... just time... let him twist ... traitors are never welcome in any camp after they serve their purpose.

He will go in the night ... embarrassed at the vote...

Maybe he’ll shift back. Sadly, a lot of Republicans would thing it’s a good idea.

What are the chances of him "retiring" after his current term, instead of running for re-election? I recall that Jumping Jim Jeffords disappeared shortly after his little trickery, never to be heard from again.

Nobody likes traitors, as Jumpin' Jim found out, and Specter probably has as well. No fun eating that Senate bean soup all by yourself.

I am glad he switched parties, if he didn’t he would have voted for the BS Healthcare bill as a Republican anyway, maybe even got Snowe or Collins to go along with him - then the claim would be “it was a bipartisan bill”

Screw him — good riddance

When defection turns to defecation.

Specter is but one of many senators and congress thiefs who deserve hanging. Lots of dems and RINOs.
Hang them along the reflecting pond and leave them there for all to see till their bones are picked clean by buzzards.
