When Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter switched parties two months ago, he said he would issue contribution refunds "upon request."

Now the Club for Growth, the conservative political group that is a longtime Specter foe, wants to help any disgruntled Republican donors take now-Democrat Specter up on his offer.

The Club is asking the Federal Election Commission (FEC) if it can send a letter or make a telephone call to Specter's donors informing them that they can ask his campaign for a contribution refund.

The Club would use the donor lists that Specter's campaign has filed with the FEC. Those documents include contributors' addresses.

Watching this lousy, treasonous SOB go down to Toomey would make for a truly wonderful day.

This is stupid. People give gifts to other people. You can not ask for a gift back, well you can ask but the receiver of the gift does not have to give it back, because it is now his.

People should pay politicians in exchange for a signed contract. This way the payment can be refunded if the receiver of the payment breaks the contract.

He saw Obama coming and made a deathbed conversion — like a lifelong drinker, philanderer and gambler afraid he wouldn’t get into heaven.
