What angers me the most is that it’s obvious from what they said that they didn’t even read this bill < before > they agreed to support it. Specter is a sorry POS and wouldn’t even be in office had it not been for Bush campaigning for him right before the election. At what point do we consider what these idiots have done, as treason? I’d like to see the whole bunch of them put on trial for being traitors!

Yeah, that was Toomey, and Bush and Santorum both ran to Arlen’s aid, but that was last election. They were able to shove Arlen over the top, but Santorum got shoved out the next round, primarily because of anger from conservatives. I’m thinking that back when Arlen first ran, he grabbed the Republican slot because there were already a couple of Dems vying for the Dem spot, so he could sit through the primaries and just run in the general. I don’t think he has any ideological ties to the Republicans. It’s just like Jack in the Box was crowded so he went to Burger King.

Like that is a bad thing? Maybe Arlen Sphincter will quickly die.

Excuse me, Mr. Senator “Magic Bullet” Specter. With all the respect that I can muster for a man in your position, WHO THE H&!! DIED AND MADE YOU GOD?

The government is me, not an all-powerful being to be worshipped. Versilles won’t listen to the people; therefore, I REFUSE.

People need to start gettin’ shot in the head.

You've pegged how I feel. It feels so wrong and so necessary at the same time.

Well he sure talks like a Democrat. Seeing his statements one would think he didn’t vote for it.

“If Bloomberg has pointed out a potential problem…there will be clarification to avoid having the government meddle in what doctors do.”

So, am I to infer that Senator Spector has no idea if it's true, or not? Hasn't he studied the bill? Why doesn't he know what's in it?

One wonders if Specter was sober when he did this interview.

His defense on our local radio this morning? “Well, President Obama says his economists are telling him that we’ll face a 1929-type depression if we don’t do this.”

And he just BELIEVES him?????

Also, he said that the National Chamber of Commerce was behind it, which I heard later wasn’t true.

George Bush and the Republican National Senatorial Committee campaigned for Specter in the 2004 primary contest against a real conservative, Pat Toomey. As the Good Book says, “You sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind.”

You can find a silver lining in anything.

Why is Specter so hell bent on voting for this thing. Every time he speaks he says how bad it is, how much it was rushed yet he refuses to back away from it. Very Strange

These bozos don’t know what’s in that bill that they just voted for.

Specter should do the US a favor and hang himself.

Are the elderly transportation costs also included in the Bill?...

I try not to pay attention to what the Specter says...but most of time it's impossible. To suffer from dementia and grandiosity is a terrible thing Arlen....you would have been voted out a long time ago if not for GW and Santorum backing you against Toomey, you senile old bastard.
