Sen. Specter Jeered For Voting For Stimulus Plan
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter was greeted with jeers at a press conference in Cranberry Township.
Conservatives are fuming after Specter cast the deciding vote that led to the passage of President Barack Obama's stimulus plan.
Specter, 79, acknowledges his run for re-election will be tough.
He says he's not completely happy with Obama's plans but he points out that he was able to cut the price tag by over $100 billion and he says he was able to increase the amount of tax cuts.
Even so, Specter acknowledges the Republican Party's conservative wing will attempt to unseat him in next year's primary race.
Six years ago, Specter barely won the Republican primary, but he says he's not afraid to fight for the job one more time.

Stealing eight dollars instead of 10 is still theft!

And this is what happens when you vote for a “fiscal conservative” who is a social liberal.

"He needs to retire with the those two cheap dates from Maine and find a room."That's a repulsive thought at best.

I’m sooo glad they jeered him. He’s a traitor to the party and to every man, woman and child in America! They should recall the stupid old pos!!

The baffle plates on the Specter and Byrd warp drives ruptured long ago. A picture is worth a thousand words and one beep is worth a few trillion in Spendulus.

Hey Specter, considering the massive tax increases just imposed upon us here in California, your “tax cuts” in this porkulus bill will amount to nothing more than lip services from an @ssclown.

Six years ago, Specter said it was the last time he was running!
This egotistic, elite, old fool took away my freedom to make my own health care choices. What a b@stard.
Are you kidding? Travis the Chimp could STILL win.

The economy is Obama’s baby now. The Bush excuse became void after the porkulus was signed into law.

Sorry, you DID say that a DEAD Travis could STILL beat a LIVING DEAD Specter! LOL!

Nice!!! He easily looks qualified to be in the senate. He doesn’t even talk all that much which is even better. I think I would vote for him. Put him up against specter!!!
To: Rome2000
We have Rick Santorum and GWB to thank for that.
