The turncoat Arlen Specter has met his end!
Long-time US Senator Arlen Specter will not be returning next term! This is a true win for Americans!
I don’t have a huge problem with Mr. Specter on his voting record. He typically was a pain in the ass for everyone and it appeared that over the years, no one controlled him. My problem is the game that he played to avoid the voters in Pennsylvania. About a year ago, Senator Specter realized that his Republican base had dwindled considerably and he would probably not win a primary contest. Not wanting to put his career at the stake of these voters, Sen. Specter switched parties and said he was a Democrat. Yesterday, the Democrat Party voters rejected Mr. Specter as their candidate to run for the Senate seat.
Of course, Mr. Specter could still run for Senate. He could say that all parties are bad and run as an independent. He does not appear to have the ambition to do that based on this video clip.
Let this be a lesson to all public officials. Don’t play games with us anymore. We are tired of the half-truths and back-room deals. We want our elected officials to do what we want them to do. If you don’t do it, you are going to have to find another job.
In general, if they are serving today – don’t vote for them! Throw the bums out!
