I lived in PA and met Specter at a Republican rally in DC. He was very arrogant and ignored my son, who is blind and was studying for his Master's Degree and asked Spector a question. Specter could tell he was blind, so as my son spoke, Specter was looking all around and waving to other people and never answered my son. From that time on I have never liked the man. It is obvious he is only interested in himself and his ego is tremendous.

He said that he worked to represent the people of PA and not a party. If that is so, then it should not matter which party he belongs to. In essence, that statement contradicts what he has done. Actually, what is more the truth is that he knows he would not win re-election, which he has admitted, and he feels he would still "have a job" if he became a Democrat. That is all this is about. Not the people. Not being right or left. For Specter, it is about the position that pays him a salary that he wants.

Although I am glad we are rid of him, he has picked the worst time to do this. And what happens to all the money he has taken from people for his campaign as a Republican candidate? I sure hope they get that back.

I think that would apply to the vast majority of the Beltway mafia regardless of party. IMHO, that is our biggest problem. We need to do major house cleaning.

Actually, I would say he picked the best time of all. His being with the GOP didn’t change who is in the majority, and his votes were always in question.

If there was ever a time to FIRE these RINO’s, its while the GOP is in the minority. I could rationalize keeping him in 2004, when the GOP had that slim ‘majority’ such as it was.

Not now. So far I’m very happy with the ‘purge’. Now lets get rid of the ditzy twins from Maine....
