The Hill ^ | 03/12/12 | Alexander Bolton

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.

He was used by the worst Senate Majority Leader the nation has ever experienced.

A man with his experience of conniving does not get used, unless he wants to be. A man spending his career with sewer rats shouldn't complain about rat bites.

It appears the Senator never heard the phrase “love ‘em and leave ‘em.”

“Really, Arlen, we promise we’ll respect you in the morning.”

Specter thought that appearing with Obama would help him? Like it helped Corzine, Coakley, Deeds?

Specter bragging about voting for Obamacare.....which will destroy the best medical care in the world, and bitching because he didn’t get paid off.....amazing.

When you put it like that, sounds like he's always been a democrat...

Then again, didn't he help get some Republican SC judges in?
