It’s a question we’ve all been waiting to hear answered – it just took a conservative talk radio host to ask it.

In an interview with Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, Pa., talk show host Laura Ingraham asked why he and Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are the only three out of 229 Republican members of Congress to support the stimulus. She inquired if it might have had something to do with being invited to the White House by President Barack Obama.

“Is it nice to be wined and dined at the White House?” Ingraham asked. “And, you’re treated pretty well when you’re a Republican bucking other Republicans, right Senator?”

Translation: “Do you like taking the whore price, Senator?”

Mr. Specter said he would have supported the package even if Democrats had not added $6.5 billion in additional money for the National Institutes of Health to the final version of the bill.

Mr. Specter had sought the money for years, and had mentioned that he wanted the money in the bill when he met with President Barack Obama last week.

Nobama issued an Executive Order mandating all labor on Public Works projects is to be UNION labor.

He negated a Bush Order that allowed non-union labor if pay was the same.

Specter probably didn’t know who Laura Ingraham was, and was probably cursing his staff for getting him on the show. For his next move, he’ll join Stabencow pushing for the Fairness Doctrine.

I did not know that parking lots are such engines of industry.

LOL! A fricken PARKING LOT? That's his example of how $838 billion is going to resolve the economy.

Three cheers for Laura. As far as arlen goes, I do hope that he does not have plans to run again. Until the State and National party guarantee me that they will not support him, I will not donate another dime to the Republican party.

Specter’s typically like that when criticized. Most liberal Republicans are whiney wimps, but Specter is an exception that proves the rule: he’s plenty tough, and mean, and wiley; he is willing to fight.

It is a method used by jungle predator's, they observe the herd and single out the weak ones to attack.

I know, I have see the copy of the Doc. OholyO signed. They are at least actually informing us of how they are screwing us. Question is, how long we gonna allow it to go on before we do something about it?

It’s available through Public records. The Library of congress has it I think.

This is darn cool too. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/mtj:@field(DOCID+@lit(tj090190))
