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.
One of our problems is that a lot of “pro-life” Catholics vote socialist because they want the government programs.
