“He sold his vote for 10 billion dollars. I hope he loses big next year.”

While I would never wish ill health or bad omens against someone, in this case I will make an exception. Specter should get a disease that the NIH will not allow to be treated and be forced to die.

It has become obvious the Specter stands for little more than his own re-election. This country means little to him, the people mean little as well. The only thing that counts is his ego and his ability to bring home the pork. If the Republican Party stands for anything, this man and the two Maine idiots need to be censured in some way. At the very least they should be removed from ranking positions on whatever committees they serve on. My guess however is nothing will happen to these useful idiots.

And the Republican Party wonders why the continue to lose?

T.S. Eliot had it right. Specter is one of the hollow men.

Well, now we know what Specter’s 30 pieces of silver was.

That’s a great button, especially with the pictures of the two Ugly Sisters and their senile stepfather.

Folks, these are the same people who REELECTED JOHN MURTHA!

'nuff said.

"Specter is scum!!!!!"

You are 100% correct. He defended one of the most Liberal people on earth. Ira Einhorn, Google him and you will see what a Scum He was, and he was defended by a scum

At least we’ll get a Rat who is honest enough to say that he’s a Rat.

With Spectre, we don’t even get that much.

Just clear this up for me...is that the same Super Bowl party held at the warm, expansive, luxurious White House—while thousands of people in the midwest were without power in freezing temperatures and just trying to survive and stay warm?

That one?

Arlen Sphincter could have gotten $10,000,000,000 for the NIH without resorting to spending another $990+ billion on this stupid Pork bill. Hell, Sphincter, if the $10 billion was so important, why not debate it on the floor of the Senate on its own merits????

I was one who prayed for Arlen when he contracted his leukemia. He was certainly a sympathetic person. But this stupid turnaround on the fiscal future of America, this alliance with a party that has done nothing but push for a tax and spend spend spend is inexcusable.

Specter did not bring home the pork. The NIH is in Maryland.

Oh, Pennsylvania may get some grants for research, but so will other states.

Specter sold his vote for $10 billion that will not come to Pennsylvania.

Democrats began to press Mr. Specter, saying he would get the $10 billion increase only if he promised to vote for the eventual bill. Mr. Specter pushed back, saying he was concerned about the size of the bill and its mix of tax credits and spending.

The corruption and greed of this new culture is rampant. It is the culture of death practiced by the neo Marxists and their accomplices. The vast left wing conspiracy is having its way with all of us. Welcome to the Socialist Republic of America, now that the Democratic Party is in charge!

Overheard at the Superbowl Party....

President Barack Husein Obama: "So tell me Senator Specter, would you sell your country down the river for $50 billion worth of pork?

Specter: "Why yes, Mr. President, I most certainly would."

Obama: "Would you do it for $5 million?

Specter: "$5 million? What kind of guy do you think I am?

Obama: "We've already established what kind of guy you are. Now, we're just haggling over price."
