Sadly, I agree. Arlen Specter was an opportunist and took moderate and even liberal positions on issues. He did not support his party on certain key issues. And he did have a nasty side. But none of that is a reason to be happy about his disease or laugh at his death or wish that he rotted in Hell. Some people are upset that he was Pro-Abortion. I am Pro-Life but I know that a big chunk of the country is not 100% Pro-Life and I don’t go around laughing or being happy when a Pro-Choice person dies. Some people pick out other parts of his voting record to show that he somehow deserves to die or burn in Hell. That is disgusting. I hope a lot of the nastier posts are trolls. There is no excuse for the bile on this thread.
No bile here. The truth is that Specter was a nasty person who turned charm on and off like a light switch. Murtha was in the same category, just a bigger crook.
They will be remembered for their deeds, period.
