Specter Urges Voters to ‘Stop Extremists’ (RINO turned Dem viciously attacks DeMint, Tea Party)
Roll Call ^ | 2010-09-28 | Jessica Brady

Sen. Arlen Specter urged “mainstream Americans” to turn out in droves to prevent a total rejection of moderate challengers and incumbents.

“Mainstream Americans must march to the polls this November to express themselves forcefully to stop extremists financed by undisclosed contributors from stifling our democracy,” the Pennsylvania Democrat said in a floor statement Tuesday morning.

Specter, who left the GOP for the Democratic Party last year after determining he could not win the Republican primary in his state, noted this year’s primary process has been particularly devastating to moderates. Specter, a moderate, is one of three incumbent Senators to lose this year. He lost in May to liberal Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak.

In a thinly veiled charge, Specter took after one of his colleagues, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), whom he blamed for trying to impose a conservative purity test on Republicans.

“Within days of the start of the Obama administration, before the ink was dry on his oath of office, Republicans openly bragged about plans to ‘break him and engineer his Waterloo,” Specter said of DeMint’s statements during the health care debate. “Announcing that ideological purity was more important than obtaining a majority, the prevailing Republican motto was, ‘We’d rather have 30 Marco Rubios in the Senate than 50 Arlen Specters.’”

“Pundits are saying this November our nation will be at the crossroads. I believe it is more like a cloverleaf,” Specter said. “If activated and motivated to vote, mainstream voters can steer America to sensible centrism.”

Spector, Jeffords, Scozzafava, Murkowski, et al. keep proving we were right about every single one of them.

This from a scum lawyer who defended Ira Einhorn; a man who killed his girlfriend and stuffed her body in a trunk and lived with it for weeks. This scum is widely credited with founding the 'green' ecological movement as well.

Specter, don't you have relatives or family that you can retire to? Go away you lousy traitor.

Specter — working for the left, as usual.

When will this scumbag retire?

Mainstream Americans ARE going to the polls this year to rid themselves of slime like Spectre.

F**K Specter! He is a classic example of what is wrong with this Country. He has served himself for so long that he thinks it is the norm, and that the rest of us need to grovel before him and all of the other RINOS

It’s amusing, sort of, that this guy thinks that normal mainstream Americans are extreme, and the so-called “moderates” are not.

With all due respect, nobody is buying what your selling. And as one who presumably knows a bit about history, he should know better than to use the D word. This country was decidedly and purposefully set up to preclude democracy, for reasons that are perfectly illustrated today. Shame on you, Senator.

Spector is one example why it was so important for Castle to be defeated!

“I don’t need to be lectured by you. You are no more a protector of the Constitution than am I,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) shouted (at Senator Russ Feingold).

Remember that slip of the tongue, Arlen? You really should be careful about what you say in public. Especially these days. You never know what might trigger a clarifying moment for a disenchanted democrat.
