The Evolution of a Rubber Stamp (AKA Arlen Specter)

[lastofpulley]

Specter is the epitome of American political waste. What has happened to our country?

I called Specters office begging him to vote against the mega expensive Obamacare mistake. He didn't listen. That was his last chance. We will remember in November. . . I can't wait to watch Specter's concession speech. . . .

Specter has proven himself to be a slime and I regret ever supporting him. It'll be a pleasure to vote against him next year!

Specter, the man that felt his career stood above those close-minded GOP primary voters, who kept the war chest he built with the help of the incompetent PA State GOP.

[veritas399]

Specter feels his career stands above everything. Specter may be gone next November, but if this Obamacare poison pill passes, we'll be left picking up the pieces.

I suppose Specter doesn't care about the 2.5 Trillion price tag, since he's 80 and will not be alive long enough to be stuck with the bill . . . .

Even though I most often disagreed with Senator Specter, I admired his intellect and political skill. Now I see nothing to admire in him. He is a true politician, more interested in his political career than in the country he serves.

Politics should be thought of as a temporary service to the country you love; not a life-long career. No man is strong enough to avoid succumbing to the ego-driven need for power that a life in politics always eventually creates.
