Sen. Arlen Specter was unexpectedly stripped of his seniority Tuesday night in a humiliating blow from Democrats who earlier had welcomed the former Pennsylvania Republicans defection from the GOP. The move not only strips the five-term senator of his legislative clout but also hampers his ability to persuade voters he can still bring influence to issues in Pennsylvania as he approaches election there in 2010. Specter lashed back Wednesday, strongly suggesting he had been betrayed.
In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, Specter said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had promised him that his seniority would be preserved.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving slimeball.
He always can reload his magic bullet and put it to use on himself.
The Specter of defeat.
This post will give you an indication on how Dems think:

I wonder when he’ll decide that he ‘really’ wants to stay as a Republican, and come begging forgiveness? I have no doubt that the spineless Republicans in Congress would welcome him back.
Welcome to the Dimocrat Party Arlen. Have a good time, you deserve it.
Hey, Arlen, just wait until the Dems run someone against you in the primary, send you no support, and essentially kick you to the curb.
Could not happen to a more deserving guy.
Suuuure, you moderates - you can trust and negotiate with democrats!
NOT!
This is priceless. I love it because there is justice in it. Thank you God. Specter gets a taste of what he’s been shoving down our throats for the last few decades.
Just love it!
They should throw him under the bus!!!

"Arlen, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You f'd up - you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help."
Don’t worry, I don’t think Arlen will have to put up with it very long.

Poor baby!
You’re dealing with those JUST LIKE YOU!
Amazing. A 30-year veteran of the Senate, allegedly filled with wisdom and experience, and he is duped by leftists. He actually TRUSTED them.
What a dipsh-t.

Seems the good Senator doesn't approve of treachery when he's on the receiving end.
“[GIGGLE TIME!]”
tee hee hee!!!
Serves him right the spineless son of a hound dog!
Delightful. Wonder if McCain, Snowe, and Collins are paying atten?
