One Ringy Dingy, Two Ringy Dingy's, Three ...(Mel Morgan, Specter, Jim Robinson FollowUp)

One Ringy Dingy, Two Ringy Dingy's, Three ....

Written by Melanie Morgan

Thursday, 12 February 2009

I got an early wakeup call from the East Coast Thursday morning. The alert came from the office of Sen. Arlen Specter, the alleged Republican whose office I stormed on Monday. Specter wanted to talk with me, mano y mano. As I write this, I am still waiting for the Senator’s call.

I’m not sure what he wanted to tell me. Lobbying from nonsensical moderates doesn’t work on me. Maybe he wanted to tell me that I shouldn’t barge into his offices and demand to talk with him – even if he is hunkering down with Democrats in a scheme to bilk taxpayers and future generations of billions of dollars.

Jim Robinson, founder of FreeRepublic.com, and I arrived at Sen. Specter's office on Monday with a group of folks who oppose the $1.5 trillion porkulus package. We asked to see Sen. Specter. The office secretary was cold as a street-market codfish. I couldn’t blame her. We were there to have words with her boss. Jim, wearing his Navy cap, asked about the senator's whereabouts, but the secretary wasn't helping. It was distressing to see a wheelchair-bound Navy veteran being treated with such disrespect by a senator's staff.

So I flung open Specter’s back office door, and yelled like I was back in the country hollering for my dog. I yelled that I wanted to talk to somebody. Now!!! Specter’s chief of staff slinked out and gave us a few minutes of his time. We let him know that the country is angry, and we aren’t standing by as they decimate our Constitution and saddle our grandchildren with staggering debt.

Specter, along with two other spineless Republicans, have betrayed our country by joining hands with the socialist-in-chief and his minions, the Democrats. They have hoodwinked those still under the spell of Obamamania, and are force-feeding the rest of us with their spend-and-smile bill that will do nothing to stimulate the economy.

Government spending has never stimulated anything, but the coffers of politicians who get favors from those they’ve greased up with taxpayer money.

I wanted to speak with Sen.Stymie-us Specter and ask him just exactly how $4.8 million for a polar bear exhibit in Rhode Island, $300 million for new cars for government bureaucrats, or $400 million to prevent sexually transmitted diseases will stimulate the economy. I guess you could make an argument that prostitutes might get more jobs if they were free of STDs, but $400 million seems like a lot to promote hookers.

My friends at KSFO radio in San Francisco put out a call to their listeners asking for questions for the Senator, just in case he really did call me. Within a short time, I got more than 1,000 emails with questions for Specter.

I’ll print some here so, if Specter finds the time to read this column, he’ll get an idea about how American taxpayers feel about him and his buddies who are selling America’s soul.

Question 1: “I would like to know if Senator Specter wishes to be remembered as one of three Americans who could have saved our nation from Socialism and FAILED to do so!”

Question 2: “My wife and I (we are senior citizens) were shocked to learn that the current stimulus bill contains a new health bureaucracy that WILL HAVE THE POWER TO ESTABLISH MEANS TESTING FOR THE ELDERLY! THAT MEANS THAT SOME BUREAUCRAT, NOT YOUR DOCTOR, WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A PARTICULAR TREATMENT. This is untenable and pernicious. It's like throwing away the elderly as not worth the cost of saving their life. “

Question 3: “His accepting the "Stimulus Bill" as it reads is a betrayal of his oath! Stand up for what is right. Stand up for the principles on which this great nation was built.”

Question 4: “Tell him we are through being nice guys...he is a senior Senator - tell him to be a LEADER instead of a turncoat - or to run as a Democrat next time - you know, like Ethics? This time we are paying attention and TA KING NAMES!”

Question 5: “What did Arlen Specter get for his vote? Something for himself or his state? Matter of fact what did all three get for selling out?”

Question 6: “The majority of American citizens . . . are against this stimulus bill, so why are you voting against us and with the Democrats? Are you more interested in being looked upon as a centrist and liked by your colleagues than in representing the will of the people?”

Question 7: “Why is the ratio 2/3 pork spending to 1/3 tax cuts? At the very least, it should be the reverse proportions.”

I don’t have room for all 1,000 questions. Maybe Sen. Specter and I can get together for a fried pork lunch so we can chat about the problems. I’ll buy.

Government is taking away your money from you and your FAMILY give it to the WORLD F—— Y— GOVERNMENT

And why do we have Specter? Because Santorum and W were willing to play nicey-nice with him, when a small amount of maneuvering on their part would have given us Toomey.

"LOL, well look out for your foot!"

In fifty six years I have never shot anything I didn't intend to. However your point about Obama being verbose is right on target not to mention he makes no sense.

CONGRATS TO YOU, JIMROB AND ALL INVOLVED!

HOwever,

the RINO is an Oligarchy stooge.

He’s in sympathy with their Constitution shredding goals as well as the treasonous global government goal . . . of course with NAU along the way.

He’s a dyed-in-the-wool globalist.

Even if he weren’t, he’d be afraid for his life to go against them in this situation.

I pretty much thought that was true.

Thanks for having a sense of humor.

"Thanks for having a sense of humor."

Difficult to keep these days but If we lose that we are in even deeper trouble.

What she did might make everyone feel better, but it had absolutely no impact whatsoever.

And, she doesn’t seem able to grasp that either. Consider those questions she lists. They’re just rants, and Specter could deflect them with ease.

Until people learn how to craft effective questions - and try to ask them - people like Specter will keep winning.

Here’s a guide:

Melanie is going to have a tough time having a mano y mano conversation with that piece of floating effluent.

Good advice, a friend of mine practicing quic draw got his leg and severed the tendon and wound up wearing a brace on his leg.

That was over 50 years ago, today the cops would have probably arrested him!

Great visiting with you tonight.

Well I tell you I feel like I’m being backed into a corner and I’m about ready to come out swinging. I feel my country slipping away and I don’t think I’m alone with that thought. I don’t think it’s going to take too much more of this bull@#(% for a lot of people to start fighting back.

I wonder if Toomey would be willing to run again against Spector. We need to get good candidates in place now. Where is Michael Steele on the issue? Has he said anything about the three?

Well you miss the point, but do a good job of dismissing Morgan.

I get the impression you could craft the perfect questions, so go ahead.

Use you guide if you wish.

I will see that Melanine Morgan gets them.

Thanks

Apparently all he wanted was his cancer pork.

To: Syncro

Spector sold out America for $6.5 billion in cancer research. Trying to save his own miserable hide?

He sold out for his own personal interests.

Pelosi sold out for a mouse

One thing we know about dems and turncoat republicans, they are sellouts.
