Specter: Who are the Voters to Judge ME? (admitted he was unwilling to face electorate)

Federal Review ^ | 4/28/09

[Osage Orange]

Vote them all out....!!!!

Because I double dog guarantee you...they just about ALL think like Arlen....

[Gay State Conservative]

What will PA RATS do next year? Will they welcome him with open arms or give him the McLame treatment? If DUmmies in the state have their say he'll either be done in October or running as an “independent”.

[freekitty]

You are daggum right they said it to you, Arlen. Now go. We are thrilled.

“I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate.”

So here’s my poster for next spring. Have this statement at the top....then a picture of Arlen...and a simple comment at the bottom (”Loser”).

What does he get out of this deal? He gets a committee leadership situation and can help repay several of his buddies who’ve supported over the past twenty-five years. This is strictly about paying them back....over the 20 months he has left. I figure something in the range of $400 million will be pushed to his buddies for construction projects.

You can watch over the next year...what projects get done for his region and who gets the favors. Arlen was sure nice about paying folks back for their support. Thats all that this is really about. He knows he’s a loser...and this is the only deal he can get.

I like your description of the weasel.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

He sees his gravy train slipping away and he’s not too happy about it. The thought of working for a living ...

He's 79 years old and has a lifetime pension. He doesn't have to work.

This is about arrogance.

[NELSON111]

Listening to his conference:

I,I,I,I,I,I....what a narcisist.

[Barb4Bush]

I don’t ever remember Specter having a spine.

[filbert]

I’m actually enjoying the spectacle of Specter embracing his inner Statist.

[KarenMarie]

Didn’t he say something about taking each issue on it merits and deciding what to do?

I wonder if he will do the same thing as a DEM. Of course his voting record wont change... he will just feel more at home where he is going.

But I still wonder if he will take each issue on its merits like he does now.

[StarCMC]

Oh, he is. No mistake there.

[oh8eleven]

Specter, 79, has been a Republican for his five terms
Seventy nine? Gheeze, when is enough, enough? Retire, get a life ... yours won't be lasting that much longer.

[An Old Man]

guys like this kicked out the door

At least you got that part right.

[wiggen]

with the gold plated pension he gets? at his age? work? are ye daft man?

[Tublecane]

“’I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate,’ he said in the statement.”

Wha?

I’m fine with people who drop illusions about the purity and goodness of democracy. But this is just reprehensible. Thanks you for trusting in the system, Dictator Spectre.

[1066AD]

What was his price ?

What was he promised ?

What will be his rewards ?

[Cyber Liberty]

“I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate,” he said in the statement.

Toomy's bumper stickers are writing themselves.

[Ann Archy]

He’s an anti-Christian, and I don’t say that because her’s Jewish, I say that because he HATES REAL CHRISTIANS!

[johnnycap]

Hey Arlan, you’re a real profile in courage.
