Specter tells WTXF (a Philadelphia FOX affiliate): "We're going to have to bring down the deficit; we're going to have to control the national debt."

[Carling]

Needlessly spend at record levels, then “necessarily” raise taxes to pay for the spending binge.

Vote them all out.

[DarthVader]

You will be contemplating these things from retirement Arlen. Your time is done.

[GeronL]

exactly. They want the VAT so bad.

[griswold3]

Historically, any increase in taxes will never be enough!

“Air pollution, revolution, gun control,
Sound of soul
Shootin’ rockets to the moon
Kids growin’ up too soon

Politicians say more taxes will
Solve everything

And the band played on
So round ‘n’ round ‘n’ round we go
Where the world’s headed, nobody knows
Just a Ball of Confusion
Oh yea, that’s what the wold is today”

Message to all politicians, you get 20% no more!

[Venturer]

Yes: Who cares what Arlen Spectre believes , his days in the Senate are numbered.

[rovenstinez]

He had a good chance to hit this issue real hard, and he didn’t. Time to Go Arlen.

[Recon Dad]

Please someone let me know when one of these pigs ever says let’s make government smaller.

[556x45]

Curious they never talk about serious spending cuts. At least theyre consistently corrupt.

[vpintheak]

Sounds like leftist BS. Don’t make any cuts to any “social” program. Just raise taxes, and keep raising ‘em baby!

[JackOfVA]

Needlessly spend at record levels, then “necessarily” raise taxes to pay for the spending binge.

You forgot the "repeat as necessary."

There's no level of tax revenue that would not result in spending more than it brought in with the present Congress and Administration.

It's the same old same old liberal routine.

"We have to have this program and it will pay for itself."

"We have to raise taxes to pay for that program we had to have."

[tx_eggman]

Taxman

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.

George Harrison had it right

[Waco]

For a long gov’t revenues have been 20% of GNP. What these traitors are trying for is 40-60% OF GNP, it will solve anything,, the kmarts, walmarts, target, dollar stores will be wiped out with a VAT,,,nothing will be gained and the pols will have to demand more.

[Ukiapah Heep]

How about if we expropriate all property of those that voted for Obama?

[nina0113]

Whatchoo mean “we”, Arlen? You’re going HOME in November.

Actually January, but who’s counting?

[subterfuge]

There's no level of tax revenue that would not result in spending more than it brought in with the present Congress and Administration.

It's a REGIME.

[Deo volente]

I think it’s time for the good people of Pennsylvania to have a re-evaluation of Specter’s career.

“GET OUTTA HERE!”

[GUNGAGALUNGA]

Is he really toast? Or are we just speculating?
