Senators like turn-coat Specter really hate dealing with pesky citizens.

What a jerk! I think it is time that we remind these clowns that we the people put them into office and that they have a DUTY to come and talk to us. They are supposed to represent us! It is time to boot all of the guys out of office!

I think it’s quite telling that he now votes almost 100 percent in lockstep with his fellow dimocraps. So much for being his own man. I wish I lived in Pennsylvania if for no other reason than to get the opportunity to vote against this tool.

I have seen this same condescending attitude displayed over and over. They truly do have a sense of entitlement and I think they should all be kicked to the curb in 2010. In the meantime, we need to hold their feet to the fire all the way.

Testing my newfound ability to comment. Wish I still had the ability to vote in PA and get rid of this useless bum. It was always painful to have to vote for him, but when the opponent is a commie, you do what you must.

Soon to be former Sen. Specter, aren’t you glad you switched parties now? Now instead of your trademark useless waffling your arm is being twisted to support this hot mess. I would so love to be able to vote you out in November, but alas I can no longer vote in PA. Or maybe I could, apparently I’m still on the rolls there despite moving across the country 9 years ago.

Citizens should be scheduling town halls and inviting the representatives; If this doesn’t embarrass them, nothing will. And it will get the word out and get media exposure.

SPECTER: I’m encouraging constitutional rights. I’m encouraging constitutional rights by coming to Lebanon to talk to my constituents. I could be somewhere else. I don’t get any extra pay — I don’t have any requirement to be here. But for somebody –

No extra pay for listening to constituents

Is he talking over-the-table or under-the-table pay?

I am really hoping that Toomey gets in. This guy is a complete buffoon! To say something like he said about not getting extra pay for listening to his constituents shows how out of touch and arrogant he really is. Being there and listening to his constituents is his job. How dare he insult the voters that way! I am so glad these jokers are getting exposed for what they really are.

Time for us PA residents to get this idiot out of office.

Conan had a great joke on him last night, counting the number of times he says, “Now wait a minute..” One protester he said it over 12 times.

LOL. I believe his time remaining in DC as a Senator will be short. He made conservatives mad and liberals will not trust him.
