I am soooo not forgiving Bush, Santorum and Frist for propping up this joker.

What an ass.

"I'm mad as hell and...and...I'm going to demagogue on how cancer is bad, since I sure don't have any other issues where I'm in step with regular people, and this is vaguely related to cancer! Gimme your pity support!"

:
None. Somewhere I find in the stem-cell crowd a thirst for blood...their justification for what they want to do sounds too much like the rhetoric of abortion supporters and euthanasia supporters, and we all know the common thread here.

"And I'd like to see a million-person march on the Mall," Specter said. "That's an idea that has run through my chemotherapy-occupied cerebrum."

You and about a zillion other drug addeled wackos,
from the Clintons down to screwy louie Farakan, the best
they can do is a couple of hundred thousand.

Remember, Better living through chemistry!

By coincidence, before clicking onto this, I had just viewed pictures of Laura Ingraham at her site after she had rec'd her second chemo treatment.
I have nothing but admiration and respect for Laura Ingraham.

No comment on the article you posted, Kristinn.

And if it were not for the support of GW, Santorum, and Frist, this lunatic would have lost the primary to Toomey.......

"Yeah, well, I am, as a matter of fact," Specter said. "Try a few chemotherapy treatments and see how you feel" watching the debate over medical funding.

Poor bastard. Maybe he ought to let an abortionist slice him to ribbons to see how that feels, too.

I don't remember who said it, but to paraphrase them. If emryonic stem cells are the panacea liberals make them out to be, why aren't private corporations falling all over themselves to fund the research. A cure to cancer, alzeihmers, and whatever else they're claiming would be a license to print money.

This crowd and this Senator want to live forever at the expense of the most defenseless and most innocent.

WELCOME TO THE CULTURE OF DEATH FOR YOU BUT NOT FOR ME!!!

The article said that embryonic stem cells provide the most "promising" cells...

THAT is not true...in fact there are a lot of scientists that say just the opposite...

Besides, there is something totally unbecoming of Specter making this about HIM PERSONALLY!! How crass.

AND, the fact that he had announced even before bringing it to the floor, that he is gonna "raise hell", says that he is trying to make this HIS MARK. He isn't into it for a reason other than selfish....

Couldn't agree with you more about Laura. What a contrast between her and that sorry excuse for a Republican, the senior RINO from PA. How much better off we'd be if Orrin Hatch was still in that chair.
Laura's the greatest. Sorry I don't get to listen to her this week. On vacation and not in range.

"That time will arrive Tuesday, Specter said, when he gavels open the Senate's first hearing on his bill"

He can take his gavel and go pound sand with it. I have a short fuse with this RINO. I am ashamed that he's one of my Senators.

How old is he, anyway? Specter has plans beyond the hearing. He said he will lift his self-imposed ban on discussing personal matters on the Senate floor and frame the debate in intimate terms - including a "long list of my medicines and my ailments."

Oh, the humanity! I absolutely cannot imagine anything more boring or likely to make me gag as listening to some old man who wants to live forever go on publicly about his long list of "my medicines and my ailments."

I am a compassionate person, but this is just beyond the pale. Beating people up by making them listen to this stuff, when he's trying to FORCE the President to fund cutting up helpless little innocent human beings just to prop up his frail, fading wrinkly old ass makes me sick.

Despite his atrociously egotistical behavior and constant attempts at legacy building, history will render Arlen Specter either forgotten or cursed.
