Arlen Spectacle is what Mark Levin calls a “Re-pube-ican.”

Not one dime from the RNC better go to this guy! Frankly, I don’t care if the RNC pulls another big scare that we weill somehow lose this seat to the Democrats if we don’t vote for Specter. THAT SEAT IS ALREADY A DEM SEAT! Specter must go!

We warned heavily against Specter -— he had “liberal sell-out” written all over him. Yet, he ends up on committee and in the Congress.

He should be voted out in 2010 along with his other parasite Northeast liberal RINOs.

‘“If it’s a big vote, Arlen’s the first one to cave,” ‘

Says it all.

Id he votes for this bill, I think he can be taken down in the Republican Primary in 2010. The problem after that is you probably will end up with a more liberal Dem. winning the General Election. This is the same state that sent Rick Santorum packing.

I think he’s extremely vulnerable in the Republican primary,” said Chris Lilik, the president of Young Conservatives of Pennsylvania, who helped a strong conservative challenger, Pat Toomey, almost upset Specter in the 2004 GOP primary.

Remember Sphincter was enthusiastically backed by Geo. Bush and his cronies against Toomey! Now we get what Bush wanted!

“Given the choice, we prefer to have a Democrat who’s with us all the time instead of just when it’s politically expedient.”

Somebody want to explain how voting with the Democrats 1/3 of the time is "politically expedient"? What has it EVER done for a RINO, aside from the papers writing something nice for a day or two? Specter needs a good bitch-slapping.

It didn’t surprise me that the two Republican senators from Maine, Collins and Snowe, would vote for the bloated stimulus package, but I really thought that Arlen Specter was more sensible than this. Ordinarily, I would have expected to see the names of some other Republican senators (besides Collins and Snowe) signing on to this before Specter would. The only word I can think of right now to describe my sentiments towards Arlen Specter is Tom Daschle’s favorite word-disappointed.

Specter’s ACU rating for 2007 was 40 (as in: 60% Liberal).

Specter's as “moderate” as Snowe and Collins. I'm sick of the media refusing to call them what they are, Liberal socialists

The R party has to stop supporting such people when they are up for re-election and start grooming and supporting candidates to defeat them in the primaries.

I will never forget President Bush saying when the president came out to campaign for him against Toomey, "He is with us when it counts." BS. He isn't and has never been a Republican. He's with us if something happens to come up right before reelection time. and he wants the help of the party. That's all.

The only comforting thought is that it won't be long before Arlen meets his maker. Then, all the tricks and deceit in the universe will be absolutely useless.

One more thing. We really should bring back tarring and feathering and we should start with Specter.

Calling him a moderate is being very generous....

It's also being very false!

As I wrote to Specter & his fellow travellers in "moderation" Snowe & Collins, there's nothing the least bit moderate about their votes for this Pork Bill. There's nothing middle of the road about saddling everybody else's kids & grandkids with crippling debt for life in this blatant scam to pay off Obama's & Pelosi's & Reid's obligations to greedy special interest groups & others who provided them campaign support. Not a single job & not a speck of wealth will be created by absurdly wasteful items such as heaters for pools in Hawaii and all three of these Senators damn well know it.

For years, these three have tried to cultivate reputations for being the rationally responsible, ideologically independent members of their party who would rather betray their party's line if it meant promoting the good of the country. Their deceitful votes for this crooked payola package will force them once & for all to forfeit the right to insult anybody else's intelligence by even thinking about claiming that whopper ever again. That charade is finito, kaput, DOA.

Indeed, these three have permanently outed themselves as standing with the most cynically self-serving, IRrational, IRresponsible & IMmoderate stewards of the "good of the country" in the Senate and their reputations even among moderates, independents & middle-of-the-roaders will be irrevocably destroyed with this vote.

And rest assured if their phony mantles of 'moderation' are not not quite shredded yet, just wait for the next few years of incessant letters to the editor repeatedly enumerating all of the indefensibly irresponsible & recklessly wasteful garbage studded in this sleazy porkapalooza bill for which they're voting. Even the leftists in their states will recoil in disgust at the craven hypocrisy they're employing while sticking it to the next generation in the most selfishly shortsighted and wantonly profligate way imaginable.

No, these three Senators' reputations as "reasonable moderates" will have at long last earned their rightful burials straight down those $30,000+ self-flushing toilets in Sumter SC which Specter, Snowe & Collins have unethically chosen to put on the credit cards of citizens who haven't even yet been born let alone those who are now too young to give them permission to do so - all in the criminally corrupt name of "stimulus".

There is really no such thing as “moderate.” A “moderate” is a liberal who is ashamed of being called a liberal or who is afraid to come out of the closet just yet.

I wish they would strip Specter, Snowe and Collins of any GOP committees and REALLY make them RINO’s.
