Using his own words, an epitaph:

“I don’t need to be lectured by you. You are no more a protector of the Constitution than am I,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.)

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Arlen: “Father Abraham, ask Lazarus to go to my brethren in Congress and tell them about the prophets so they will not come to this place.”

[Jenny217]

Don’ have ANYTHING nice to say about Arlen Specter. He was a deceitful and corrupt man. Lord forgive me, do what you will with Arlen.

[metalurgist]

You do know that John Adams defended the British soldiers that were involved in the "Boston Masacre" AND got them aquitted?

That is what a good lawyer is supposed to do.

[dfwgator]

No comment.

[teflon9]

True enough. I knew a young woman who was a page/intern for him many years ago. He had fits of rage, tantrums, and would throw things at people.

[Eleutheria5]

Refrain from dissing the dead,
Except for Ted
With that tumor in his head.

[SueRae]

Yup. If there’s one Dem in Philly that I admire, it is the now retired Lynn Abraham. She stayed on the Einhorn trail for thirty years and got her man. In spite of Arlen. She had the victime and her family in mind. Good for her, bad on Arlen for that.

[IbJensen]

I refuse to be a hypocrite.

[grey_whiskers]

Prayers up for the family.

Anyone know the religious affiliation or dis-inclination of the deceased Senator?

Anyone know the religious affiliation or dis-inclination of the deceased Senator?

Now? Or...before he died?

I will never forgive that “bastard” for the harm he has done to our freedoms.

Many of you want to “play nice” and bounce the politically correct ball, but I won’t have any part of it.

I blame him directly for his cowardly and acts of treason foisted on true Americans and the consequent rotting of our freedoms under the Constitution.

I thank God that I will never hear of him after the hypocrites wail and tear at their hair for the next few days.

I don’t see how any true free American can even shed a tear for him. He never cared about anyone except himself.

[ken5050]

How can they tell? In his last, and losing campaign, he looked and sounded dead back then

[Gay State Conservative]

You do know that John Adams defended the British soldiers that were involved in the "Boston Masacre" AND got them aquitted?

Don't care.IMO,at least 99% of American defense lawyers today are utterly amoral.

He’ll still vote for the Democrat ticket.

RIP.

Arlin Specter showed tremendous resolve to continue his work while battling cancer with chemotherapy. His book, “Never Give In” likely touched lives touched by cancer. For that, he is to be commended. May he rest in peace.

[Yorlik803]

well...I shall stay classy and say may he rest in peace.
