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.

What I really enjoyed today was how offended these politicians get when offered a question or opinion by their voters.

They don’t like the heat a bit.

I wish I could have made it over to the Snowe and Collins’ offices, but as you can see, the two-year-old was getting tired...

LOL!
I agree! And it is always a bit of a boost to repeat Our Lord’s words back to Him. Let’s Him know that we are His and He is in control.

[peace with honor]

The GOP Chairman, STAND UP AND SPEAK UP!!!

[Born Conservative]

Maybe he’s worried? I sent an email to him last week, and never got a response until today; coincidence? (I’ve also tried a million times to get through via phone without any success).

ENEMIES OF AMERICA, BEWARE THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT,,, LET’S GET IT STARTED, NOW

[El Gato]

It was clear his brain has failed him completely and he just talks in circles.

I think it failed in 1964.

How else can you explain how stupid he sounded.

As far as I can remember, he's always sounded like that... oh might have a touch of dementia now, but in his case, it would be hard to tell the difference.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

PING!

OUTSTANDING post, thread, effort! FR’s finest, America’s finest!

Thanks.

"didn't realize how stupid Spector really is on his comments about the economy and how FDR's policies brought the USA out of recession."

I heard it too. Hard to believe someone that educated and supposedly BRIGHT could make such ludicrous remarks so ignorant of historical fact. (BTW, Obama made the same remark just a minute ago. Obama went even further to say, he thought these disputes had been resolved. Don't Liberals ALWAYS think disputes between Liberals and conservatives have been resolved in favor of their opinion?) Therefore, I don't. Specter is a Liberal and a socialist who walks the walk and talks the talk. To him, Obama and socialists like them, this is a prime opportunity to expand government and finish the revolution begun in the sixties.

We went through the same thing AGAIN with Spector here in Philly, immediately following Hannity, on local talk radio. Then, Santorum was interviewed. He had good criticism of the porkulus bill, but when asked if he would support Specter over Toomey again, Rick responded affirmatively saying Specter was his good friend. It's like the twilight zone with these politicians.

[Tarpon]

We need to teach lessons ...

[TAdams8591]

They don’t seem to work, do they? : )

[Aussiebabe]

Well, you are right. After that interview with Hannity, there can't be any doubt that he is not a very bright guy. The Republican party would be better off if he just went ahead and switched parties. What a joke he is.

Too cool!

[TAdams8591]

It would have been great to have had you all along, during my visit to Specter's office at the height of Justice Thomas' confirmation hearings, though he turned out to be on our side for that one (reelection time and all you know.): )

Good going!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Thanks for the link.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Thanks for showing some guts in D.C.! Many of us wish we could have been there with you and our fellow FReepers!

[M Kehoe]

Good evening. Good to see your moniker.

Are you listening to Obama right now? Same thing. He's read different history and economic textbooks than we have that's for sure. He accused conservatives of rewriting history. Can't wait for talk radio tomorrow.

Oh, Obama just said people have to break out of their ideological, fiscal rigidity. Somehow, I don't think he means Liberals.

Unlike President Bush, and to his discredit, Obama is going to use the presidency as a bully pulpit the way President Reagan did.
