afraid of the American people venting their outrage at politicians that don’t listen.shocking.

He was an elite person, but had no illusions or desire to make decisions for others

Leaders are self confident vs power grabbers are control freaks who lack confidence. They control, incapable of leading.

Yep.
They first ignored us, then ridiculed us, now they fear us.

This is like Scott Brown’s opponent saying that if voters elected Brown Healthcare wouldn’t pass.

If the bill had gone through the normal process of reconciliation, it wouldn't have.

“The peasants are revolting!”

Actually I find Specter revolting.

“OMG! It is so un American for Americans to elect their own representatives...we must stop this madness!!!”

LOL! Did you hear Juan Williams right after Bennett got dumped in Utah? He was so angry because Bennet “has connections” and had “had that office for so many years”. (As if Juan gives a rip about any GOP candidate.) Bill Kristol said something like, “Exactly. Those are the reasons he was voted out.” People just don’t get it.

“What you see happening across the country is that the tea party organization has taken over,”

He says that like it's a bad thing. Yeah, guys like you are done, Arlen.

“Specter has acknowledged he switched to the Democratic Party, at least in part, to stand a better chance of preserving his seat. But on Tuesday he suggested that he had changed to remain one of the only men standing in front of a tea party revolution.”

Specter, the only governing thing the “tea parties” have are louses like you to serve as that focus. You are responsible for the “tea parties” and in being the one who is focused on. Otherwise, these “tea partiers” across the country have no leader.

FYI, if you retired or decided to shuffle off this mortal coil, you wouldn't need to worry about them anymore.

...tea party “takeover.”
I wonder if it violates “Scottish Law”?

Hopefully he can join McCain in the retirement home.

“without him, the Democrats will not be able to fend off a tea party “takeover”.

I hope he is right.

"I don't know what they call this in Scotland..."

I'm not sure what their word is, but I know how they say it ;-)

[353FMG]

How I wish he were right.

I would suggest future shock. He simply can’t believe much lest understand the change.
he is simply a man of the 70’s and it is no longer the 70’s

I hope Arlen likes the taste of tea. He’s going to have to drink a lot of it at the primaies and in the general election, if PA is unfortunate enough to have him win today.

Sen. Arlen Specter warned on Tuesday that without him Democrats may not be able to fend off a tea party “takeover.”

Typical communist lib mindset. Everyone will be helpless "without him."

Arlen, about that "tea party organization has taken over" thing, it is called v-o-t-i-n-g.

You know, like the "I won" thing from Fearless Reader.

NØVEMBER

As voters considered his fate throughout Pennsylvania, Sen. Arlen Specter warned on Tuesday that without him Democrats may not be able to fend off a tea party “takeover.”

The trash heap of history Mr. Sphincter ... that's where you're headed.

“What you see happening across the country is that the tea party organization has taken over,”

How could they? They are just a small group of racists. If they had any real numbers the press would be all over the story.

[Gator113]

Specter continues his “death rattle”.

He will not be missed and history will show him as a nasty two-faced failure.

[Pharmboy]

He should be going to the early bird specials in Broward County. Get out, Arlen...
