HUMAN EVENTS has learned from staff sources that Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa) is about to announce his switch to the Democratic Party. Developing….

I wonder how the RNC feels about this after promising to back him and the rest of the RINOs.
..he just wants his own airport
Exactly. If the news was that he was switching parties, then he would become a Republican today.
I miss principles.
Hatch, Snowe, Collins, McCain, and Graham need to follow suit to make actual what has been long-standing practice. At this point, I don’t give a damn anymore.
Murtha will let him use his now if this is true.
In the near future this could be bad. He was the single vote holding the line on card check. If he switches, he could change his mind and the Pubs won’t have the votes to fillibuster. I liked it better when he was feeling the heat from the right (with Toomey running against him) and would cave on some of our issues. Now, he won’t cave on anything. He’s a scumbag and I hope that Toomey whoops him in the general though I’m not sure that will happen.
Good luck beating him now.
Benedict Schmuck!
“He ought to make it official. Maybe it will give Snowe and Collins the courage to do the same. We can’t count on any of these three anyway.”
Agree. Let’s clear out these imposters, including McCain.
Is there a recall possibility ?
I’m confused - wouldnt switching parties make him a Republican?
So do I.
“Wasn’t he originally a ‘Rat?”
Correctomundo, Sailor!
“In 1965, Specter ran for District Attorney, on the Republican ticket as a registered Democrat. He handily beat incumbent Jim Crumlish, and subsequently changed his registration to Republican. “

The GOP: The Big Tent with a Fifth Column.
So, does this mean he knows he can’t beat Toomey in the primary?
Ugh...I hate websites like that. Once you click on it, it won’t let you use the “back” button to come back to FR. I had to go through a bunch of crap to get back here ; )
I disagree I hope he does leaves. its time to flush them out.
Stand your ground and hold them accountable.
Return the Republican party to its roots and old platforms or I will go to another party. Party means little standards means a lot.
Hey, a “D” is just an “R” without its lower extremities.
He can join the Rat “demented old man caucus” in the Senate with Teddy and Byrd..
