Obama's Poodle Arlen Specter Squarely in Goldman Sachs' Pocket

Now we know why Arlen Specter supports cap and trade legislation

Our vote has been Arlen Specter's to lose ever since we moved to Pennsylvania in 1993. We have since then voted for him three times; once in 1998 and twice in 2004 (against Pat Toomey in the primary, and against Million Mom March poster boy Joe Hoeffel in the November election). We are not happy that Pat Toomey effectively drove him out of the Republican Party and, had he stood with the people of Pennsylvania against ObamaCare and cap and trade, he would have our vote this November. He instead chose to relieve himself on our head and tell us it is raining, first by telling us what kind of health insurance we need and have to buy, and then by supporting the transfer of money from working Pennsylvanians to Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase, and other fat cat climate profiteers on Wall Street. OpenSecrets.org shows that Arlen Specter has chosen to dance the cap and trade with the climate profiteers who bought him as opposed to representing the interests of the Pennsylvanians who elected him. Pat Toomey therefore has our vote this November.

The purpose of so-called climate legislation, as stated not by right-wing talk radio but by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), is to create a lucrative trading market for carbon credits. ...In Senator Gillibrand's own words,

An infrastructure is already beginning to form, as entities like the New York Stock Exchange, J.P. Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and the new Green Exchange are developing carbon trading platforms or expanding their environmental trading desks. There are nearly 100 funds already focused on green investments.

“We are not happy that Pat Toomey effectively drove him out of the Republican Party and...”

Well, I am happy Arlene Spectre is no longer knifing conservatives in the back as a Republican.

“Well, I am happy Arlene Spectre is no longer knifing conservatives in the back as a Republican.”

Now he is knifing Americans in the back as a Democrat.

As Hillary would say, “The FJB knows his own.”

People need to give Arlen a break. He’s always been one of the best Senators that money could buy.
