I can’t stand politicians who don’t stand for anything (I know, most don’t). At least Spector is honest as to his reasons for becoming a rat, he’s switching simply for the sake of his career and legacy. What a self-absorbed narcissist. And these people who make these absurd statements that the Republican party has gone too far to the right, was McCain to the right of Reagan?
Hey, do you think that was part of the deal when he voted for the stimulus? We know he got a hefty sum for cancer research because he has cancer. But was the other part that if it hurt his re election, obama would find funds for him in the democratic election?
pay to play obama way.
Reid just on FOX news saying Specter returning to his “original” party. duh
Damn. Coulda fooled me. I already though he was a dhimmicrat.
Good riddance, Specter! We already new you were a traitor to your country and your Republican base. You will not be missed. I hope you lose re-election in a huge landslide! Don’t expect Rats to vote for you in the primary.
The heat is on, so Specter “cuts and runs” to the party of “cut and run!”
No loss!!
If anybody thought Specter was going to back the GOP on any filibuster, they were kidding themselves. He showed his colors on the porkulus bull.
Arlen Specter has just thrown himself on the ash heap of history. The only relevancy he ever had was as a “Republican” that agreed with Democrats. He can no longer play that schtick.
And people should remember that Pennsylvania is a pro-life state. The RATS had to nominate a self-described pro-life RAT in order to beat Santorum in 2006, a terrible year for the GOP.
Specter, now a pro-abortion Democrat, will be running against a pro-life Republican who does not alienate the Keystone State’s conservative base. If you bet on Specter to win next year, you will lose, as will Specter.
