“I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate,” he said in the statement.Ailen Sphincter is unbelievably arrogant.“I don’t have to say anything to them. They’ve said it to me,” Specter said, when asked in a Capitol corridor about abandoning the GOP.
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.
actually it seems like Specter is a very ANGRY person.
He is furious at the electorate.
