Former Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) writes in a new book that President Obama ditched him in the 2010 election after he helped Obama win the biggest legislative victory of his term by passing healthcare reform.
Specter also claims that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not uphold his promise to grant him seniority accrued over 28 years of service in the Senate as a Republican.
Specter, who rocked Washington’s political establishment and made headlines around the country when he left the Republican Party to join Democrats in April of 2009, has kept quiet about these slights until now.
He makes surprising revelations about Republican leaders, as well — he writes that former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kan.) told him that he would have made the same decision to defect from the GOP if he had been in Specter’s position.

So Specter now you know how the citizens that voted for you felt when you betrayed them. Were you really that naive to think politicians only lie to their voters?
We will hear the exact thing said by Dole was agreed to by Romney some day down the line.
Catamites don’t get kisses. They are there to serve.
“That’s what usually happens to a prostitute. Only Arlen didn’t get paid!”
Reminds me of a joke that has to actually be spoken to be truly funny:
“How do you make a hormone?”
“Don’t pay her.” (Whore moan?)
Is Arlen moaning here? I’m shocked, SHOCKED that democrats lied to him.
Are we really sure he wasn’t paid? Just askin’
Thanks for the info!
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING A DUMBASS, SPECTER
I bet if Romney was in Specters place HE WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING!! THAT IS WHY I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ROMNEY
If he wins the primary, I am writing-in PALIN
he’s the living definition of the term “useful idiot”
You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.
Neither will I. I campaigned and voted for Bush both times but honestly, in his last term he really changed and was a huge disappointment to me.
So, Specter, your main beef is that they did not keep their word? Eh? If they had, you would be hunky dory with them and your own betrayal.
Well, Alan, there is no honor among thieves...and you willfully betrayed your constituency, your values. your nation, and your friends and took up with a bunch of thieves and thugs.
Now you are getting what you deserve, which is the consequence of all of that.
...and still, you will not be hurting nearly as badly as your betrayed nation will if ObamaCare, that you admit helping to pass, is not revoked, overturned, and voted out.
...no thanks to you.
Just get along Benedict...we’re not shedding any tears over the betrayal our enemies are working on one who willfully took up with them.

Benedict Arnold felt the same way about how the British treated him. Neither side likes a traitor.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
