Specter crushed on all sides by stimulus vote

Arlen Specter mistakenly thought that his moderate compromise on the stimulus bill would be more warmly received.

He was wrong.

And he has a whole lot of high-level statements and primary threats as a result of the vote that backs his mistake.

The chair of the Pennsylvania State Republican Party Rob Gleason expressed

[Frantzie]

Keep calling the pile of dung. the bill has to still be reconciled. Could they pull their votes?

[Indy Pendance]

He’s toast. People won’t forget.

[Peter W. Kessler]

As in the case of John McCain, I will contribute to Specter’s primary opponent.

[torchthemummy]

My understanding is that after reconciling the bills there is still a vote in the House and then the Senate.

[clamper1797]

The sooner this a-hole and those two other a-holes from Maine are tossed out the better

[muawiyah]

We keep hearing that from Pennsylvania but they keep sending him back. PA voters even returned the excrable Murtha to office.

[353FMG]

Replace the SOB.

[From The Deer Stand]

I’m mailing a check from Wisconsin to the campaign of ANYONE who runs against Specter in the next election.

[anniegetyourgun]

Too bad PA folks won’t hire a conservative. That’s a seat that will probably go Dem when Specter departs. Not that it will matter.

[curth]

They kicked Santorum out and left this sack of shit in.

[denydenydeny]

Every time I see his weasel face on television I now want to reenact the James Cagney/Mae Clarke scene in Public Enemy, only with a pork chop.

[MNnice]

No offense but that won’t help his Pennsylvanian opponent.

[xcamel]

not one iota of sympathy...

[wombtotomb]

Well, we keep tellin’ ‘em votes HAVE consequences. When oh when will they learn? Do they not realize they put their bulls)*^*@ on TV, the internet, blogs? Do they think they can hide? Claim innocent mistakes on taxes, prostitutes, bribes? LOL, they have to catch up..... they want to see real activists, look HERE, not at acorn. While they have a head start, we have the will, stamina, and more importantly, a love of country they can never have as self haters. Keep their feet to the FIRE! Good work “chattering class”!

[MNnice]

Oops! My bad. I thought you said TO Wisconsin. Need new cheaters.

[TCats]

This doddering, sanctimonious, self congratulatory fart should have been turned out last election but for the (As usual) misguided interference of Bush.

Specter actually disgusts me more than Frank, Pelosi or any of the other charlatans of the Left. At least they know they are charlatans. This butt head actually believes his delusion.

[Indy Pendance]

didn’t he win by less than 2%? It’s a new day, the obama era.
