Democratic Senator Arlen Specter said in an interview on “This Week” that he supports Americans right to organize, but warned that recent town hall ruckus from critics of the Democrats' health care proposals are not representative of the public's view on the issue.
“I think we have to bear in mind, that although those people need to be heard and have a right to be heard, that they are not really representative of America in my opinion,” Specter said on ABC’s “This Week.”
“We have to be careful here not to let those town meetings make the scene that influences what we do on health policy.”
Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch was quick to disagree with Specter saying the heat surrounding town halls recently represent people who are “up in arms” with anger.
During a head-to-head debate between the two senators on “This Week,” Hatch complimented Specter on his handling of the town halls but said recent uprising was genuine.

Just goes to show you how bad Sphincter has lost touch with America. The boy has lost it. Time for him to MoveOn.
Arlen, Scottish Law Spector is so out of the loop of lamestream America its a wonder he still can find his way to Washington...Frankly I hope Joe Sestak beats him for the Demo canidate for senator and he simpley goes away...
Keep talking Arlen.
Arlen, please, just shut the hell up you little troll
vaudine
I believe Specter is in early stage dementia. Whne he was hosting the meaningless TH meetings, you could see he wasn’t following the questions. He had a vague, drifted off look in his eyes as if he couldn’t hear what was being said.
He, along with Kennedy and Byrd should resign for the good of the Dem party and for the good of the Nation!
Hey Sphincter you putrid old gasbag RINO-don’t go away mad. Just go away.
Sphincter isn’t really representative of an intellectual-
Note to Spector:
There are millions of us who cannot drive and attend a town hall meeting.
Too far.
Almost $3 per gallon for gas.
Lost our jobs.
In my state, Nevada, glorius Harry Reid will only hold “telemeetings” and you are severely pre-screened.
Harry is a coward. This will backfire on him in 2010, I sincerely hope.
Sphincter isn’t representative of ANYONE who believes in the Constitution!
The Washington, DC “BORG” assimilated Sphincter’s brain a long time ago.
No. 1 democrat talking point of the week:
they are not really representative of America
obama, gibbs, specter, etc. etc. etc.
Having them stay on board is good for the nation. I hope Kennedy and Byrd stay on and take up democrat seats being legacies while serving no other useful purpose.
He is just another US politician that is removed from reality.
Arlen “Justa Spectacle” turns up the heat on himself... proving once again he has nothing but disregard and contempt for the voters.
the boy needs to stop talking for and about “America”- when “America” tries to contact his office they get rejected unless they have a constituent zip code
