Freepers, other citizens storm Sen. Specter's Office on Porkulus

Written by Melanie Morgan   
Monday, 09 February 2009

Sen. Arlen Specter must feel like one lucky man today. He wasn’t in his Capitol Hill offices when MAF Chairman Melanie Morgan, Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee, Freepers and Free Republic founder Jim Robinson, and other patriotic citizens stormed his office to demand he reverse his position supporting the porkulus bill, aka the Barack-Blowing-Through- Dollars-Scheme.

MAF, as you know, is a protroops organization, and it is our opinion that this legislation will hurt veterans’ healthcare - not to mention every other American.

We’re really in town for our big press conference on Tuesday, when we release our commercial opposing President Obama’s decision to close Gitmo.

But we kept ourselves busy today. Melanie was at her finest, when we arrived at Specter’s office. For those of you who don’t know Specter, he’s a flip-flopping, spineless bureacrat who calls himself a Republican. He’s also one of the traitors who supports Obama’s spendulus bill. This is why he was a target for Monday’s action, spurred by Kirstinn Taylor of Free Republic.

Melanie and Jim Robinson asked to see the Senator. Specter’s front-office staff need to go back to kindergarten to get their manners tuned up. either that or they should go to work at Wal-Mart to pick up some tips from their greeters. A secretary, who wasn’t happy to see American patriots, refused to answer where the Senator was hiding. Jim, wearing his Navy cap, asked over and over about the Senator’s whereabouts, but the secretary wasn’t helping. It was distressing to see a Navy veteran being treated with such disrespect by a Senator’s staff.

Well, the cold-shoulder was too much for Melanie, who decided to take matters into her own hands. She stepped to the closed door leading to Specter’s office and the offices of his staffers, and flung it open. I didn’t take notes on what she said, but it went something like this:

“Come out! We want to talk to somebody right now!!”

The secretary didn’t like this. “You can’t go in there,” she warned Melanie, who promptly ignored her.

“Sombody come out here right now!!! We want to talk to you. Now!!!”

Specter’s chief of staff had finally had enough and came out to face the American citizens who wanted to redress their government official.

Melanie stepped toward him and unleashed a wave of complaints that hit him like a typhoon.

Again, I didn’t take notes, but it went something like this:

“Tell Specter to stop acting like a liberal. We are watching him and we’re not going to let him get away with this!”

Others had a few things to add to that. Debbie Lee introduced herself and handed the chief of staff a card with her son, Marc’s, picture on it. He was the first Navy SEAL to give his life in Iraq, she explained.

Liz Colby Harp brought her five homeschooled children so Specter could see whom he is saddling with trillions of dollars of debts. She was gracious, intelligent and dead on with her remarks.

Specter put all his hopes on embryonic stem cell research.

The moment the one offered federal funding for that research he owned Specter.

Will do, but I deserve no thanks. I could have gone.

You and those who stand with you deserve all the thanks!

You are great Americans and I wish I was standing next to you.

I heard him too. He should not be in the Senate just for health reasons alone, not to mention his RINOism. When Hannity asked him about the debt on his grandkids he said, well, I will tell them we made the best choice at the time, February 9, 2009.

A very big thank you so much bump.

Harry the liar.

The majority leader in the senate who told all of America a few years ago that the war in Iraq was lost...that we LOST THE WAR

Said this while we have troops over there...I cannot imagine ANYTHING more devastating and treasonous...to say such a LIE to America about her war effort.

I despise with a passion that knows no bounds.

And now he lies about the porkulus bill. LIES!

We need to pray that all of our nation has the eyes and ears to discern the truth...now.

I am so disgusted with the democrats I do not have words. It is not possible for so many to be so stupid. Is it?

It’s beyond belief how unicorn defender scum like Specter can be so crucial in passing this monstrous legislation.

What he’s aaying is that if you have the resources you will be able to spend it to get the medical treatment you need. If not, the new czar of medical care will make sure you do not!

He and always was a whore. That magic bullet theory was his ticket to a fortune. His defense of Ira Einhorn was simply another bit of proof that the man has no care at all for anything other than his own pocket.

The guy has always been a piece of crap. How he ever got elected, even once, is beyond me. Highlights of his career:

1-As an assistant counsel for the Warren commission, he authored or co-authored the controversial “single bullet theory,” which suggested the wounds to President Kennedy and non-fatal wounds to Texas Governor John Connally were caused by the same bullet.

2-In 1998 and 1999, Specter criticized his own party for its impeachment of President Bill Clinton. Believing that Clinton had not received a fair trial, Specter famously cited Scots law to render a verdict of “not proven” on President Clinton’s impeachment. However, his verdict was recorded as “not guilty” in the Senate records.

His record says it all. I guess since he is dying, he really doesn’t give a shit at this point.

Quick question... is it possible to throw out Specter from the Republican Party?

I thought he said, "Surrender in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!"

At least, that's what he later said he said. It was the British commander who claimed he said, "Come out of there, you damned old rat!"
