This is the same moron who went along with the ’single bullet’ theory when he was on the Warren Commission looking into the asassination of JFK. It’s been that long that we have had this geezer in Washington DC. No wonder the country is in trouble.

Don’t worry Arlene, you will still have Obama and the dems who sold you out when your A$$ is sent home. You are a piece of sh*t. I hope your girlfriends in Maine are keeping up with you and the concequencies of your actions you old dog.

Uh, no thanks. I’d rather have Specter than Sestak.

Specter wasn’t much good to us before,he’s against us now, he’s older than dirt, he should just die.

It is said that a man is judged by the decisions he has made and especially those he will make.
.
Arlen Spector’s political career:
.
1st DEM, 2nd REPUB, 3rd DEM and the 4th is yet to be determined.
.
I personally think or rather I suspect that if AS loses the primary bid as a DEM against Rep. Joe Sestak, he will just proclaim himself as an Independent and continue on his path of insignificance.

Sometimes when I read a HotAir post, I don’t take a look to see if it was by Ed or Allah, but I can always tell by the writing style, and when I go back to check, I’m ALWAYS right. This is the first time I got it wrong. The only thing missing was the exit question.

I doubt the dems ever planned on helping ol’ Arlen out much in the primary. They just used him like a pimp uses a $20 whore. Then they’ll drop him off at the corner.

So, no helping a sure general election loser to victory in the Democratic Primary. Is that correct?

Loxodonta

Yep. Strange rules here. The ballots have no party markings, nor are incumbents identified. I suppose you could go the ACORN route, though. Dropping by different polling places, voting a few times under different names…

He’s far to the left and a complete and total opportunist. It’s really sad that even with these flaws PA would be better represented than Specter.

highhopes on July 1, 2009 at 7:17 PM

I don’t know about personalities and don’t really care, but this I know: I read his bio and thought “OK, a solid military man who decided he could get farther, faster, as a Dem. What a shame.” Then I actually read his positions on that website, and holy shit…this guy is a nightmare. He is left of Mao.

Hopefully, he’s too far left for PA. I’m sure he’ll waste Arlene in the primary, unless the Republicans cross over and elect him. Might be the way to go.

Apparently you’ve missed the news… ACORN is doing the cencus and the AG has decided it’s just fine for Black Panther thugs to handle crowd control at polling stations…

CapedConservative on July 1, 2009 at 5:44 PM

In other news, the NRA has announced their sponsorship of a nationwide program of pest control at polling places, mobilizing their membership to eradicate vermin of every kind on election day.

Problem solved.

Senator Spector Goes Full Circle…

Senator Arlen Spector’s switch to the Democratic party, in order to keep his Senate seat, may end up costing him his seat anyway. As Ed Morrissey of Hotair.com notes: Arlen Specter has had a bad year, hasn’t he? The Senate……

he can still go out with his boots on and a modicum of political respect.
Elessar on July 1, 2009 at 8:19 PM

Too late. He lost that opportunity when he made the announcement of switching parties. He admitted the reason he was doing so was so that he could stay in office and not any principled realignment.

Clearly, Specter’s only chance at redemption is to break it off in the Dems collective a$$. If the little troll will man up, he can still go out with his boots on and a modicum of political respect. If, however, he chooses to remain Harry Reid’s cabana boy, he’ll slither off to an ignominious end.

Maybe the ‘crats will figure it out. Just as any other woman/mistress ought to know, if he cheats on his wife, he’ll cheat on you.

This is just what he deserves. He turned his back on Republicans and now the Crats are turning their backs on him. Although, I do feel a little sorry for him..NOT!!!

How many people noticed? I figured I had mixed up similar names. I thought people on a whole were nice to you if you like being ignored.
