And I’ll bet the farm that the majority of republicans still are civil to this garbage.

Party switching ought to be followed by new elections for that office.
Specter is just taking a small minded revenge against the voters.

I’m glad he’s gone. The more honest the choice gets, the better off for America. Let’s get rid of Snowe, Collins, McCain, etc., too.
They are also liberals, not to be relied on when conservative issues are on the line.
Better to have your friends on your side and your enemies on the other. Specter has been an enemy of conservatism for decades.

This entire statement is basically a whiny “I would lose if I stayed Republican, so I am leaving so I can go Dem and probably win again,” which the jerk probably will considering it’s Pennsylvania.
Dems now have a fillibuster-proof majority.
Crap.

I have not represented the Republican Party. I have represented the people of Pennsylvania. I can agree with that sentiment. Unfortunately, too many politicians represent their party rather than the people. This is what Washington warned against.

He's the perfect Liberal. He knew he was going to lose to Pat Toomey so he switched parties "out of principle" to the Democrat Party.
That principle is to get re-elected.

To: pillut48
What does Specter expect to get from being a Democrat? It's not like Leahy will move aside and give up his Judiciary Committee Chairmanship.
Will Republicans remove Specter from his committee assignments? Do Democrats have enough slots to keep Specter on the committees he's currently on now?

It will totally serve this POS right if the majority of those 200,000 registrations switched as part of Operation Chaos last year and that when they all switch back to Republican Arlen will be wandering the campaign trail asking “Hey! Where’d everybody go?”
And he might want to remember he’s from a COAL state and what the Democrats want to do to that industry.....

I blame the dumb masses in Pennsylvania.And man oh man, they really are dumb. As clueless and uniformed as they come.

“.....I am ready, willing and anxious to take on all comers and have my candidacy for re-election determined in a general election...”
__________________________________________________________
He claims to take on all comers.....but he won’t want to take on Toomey in the primary.
This is all about HIM. Spector has got a HUGE LIBERAL EGO and he simply cannot stand to loose in a primary.
Spector typifies what is so wrong with politicians today. It is about THEM and THEM ONLY. America, its Constitution, and people be DAMNED!!!!!

I have gone back to Scottish law where there are three verdicts: guilty, not guilty, and not proved. I am not prepared to say on this record that President Clinton is not guilty. But I am certainly not prepared to say that he is guilty. There are precedents for a Senator voting present. I hope that I will be accorded the opportunity to vote not proved in this case. - Arlen Specter,February 12, 1999 That's the day he switched parties.
