Specter Sells Out the GOP (Again) On Stimulus
Environmental Republican ^ | 2/7/09 | SSWenviron

Posted on 02/07/2009 7:08:50 AM PST by sswenviron

A bill that won't really help his state in the long run has drawn Sen. Arlen Specter to the dark side--a place he seems comfortable--all in the name of "bipartisanship". Specter doesn't quite grasp that when all is said and done, you probably won't want your name remotely associated with this socialist spending agenda wrapped in stimulus clothing. But hey, Arlen, you'll be remembered for two things: the magic bullet theory and selling out your party in its most crucial moment. A legacy to be proud of I'm sure.

This could shift the momentum the GOP has earned since they voted against the House version. Thanks Arlen.

And Michael Steele's response is what? Will he back Snarlin Arlen over a primary opponent? We're just shuffling the deck chairs folks......

Sen. Arlen Specter won the last primary by about 1% against Pat Toomey - ONLY BECAUSE President Bush came to PA to campaign for him. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN - this POS has got to go.

Until some people start dropping, we’ll continue to be undermined by this corruption. Sorry to be so harsh, but that’s just the reality of the circumstances right now, and it isn’t going to get any better. All our Institutions are infiltrated and corrupted: Media, Education, Politics, Legal System, you name it. People say to work within the system to make things better? Good luck.

My e-mail:

Dear Specter's staff,

TELL YOUR BOSS TO STOP SELLING OUT THE REST OF AMERICA SO YOUR STATE CAN SUCKLE AT THE TEAT OF THE DEMOCRATS GIVING YOU THINGS:

PENNSYLVANIA Highways and Bridges: $1.3 billion Mass Transit: $245.4 million Wastewater Treatment and Sewers: $229.9 million Heat Aid: $66.4 million Schools Modernization: $821.8 million Pell Grants: $878.8 million

We all know you've been bought!!!! THIS WILL BE ALL OVER THE NEWS

PA - SOLD OUT THE REST OF AMERICA SO THEY COULD PROSPER.

I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD I MOVED.

So what is this Arlen S P E C T R E (YOUR NEW SPELLING) .....SCOTTISH LAW II ???

How do you sleep at night????

Signed,

xxxxx,

a VERY ANGRY American

“And Michael Steele’s response is what?”

I don’t know, but it ought to be they don’t represent the Republican party and they will get no support in upcoming elections. It’s time to draw a line in the sand. It’s the only way the Republicans can separate themselves from the Democrats and win in 2010. We can’t let the Democrats claim this bill had bi-partisan support.

Michael Steele is a stiff, just another soft phony, put into position so our side can say ‘see, we have a black guy too’. If he had any cubes, he would be publicly railing about this, right now, from the highest mountaintop. But he’s not, he’s a gutless stiff, just like the rest of our ‘leadership’.

Excellent Point!!!

This is Michael Steele’s first and only test. He fails, you can kiss this country goodbye.

The one thing that I will always remember this hack for is voting under Scottish law in the U.S. Senate. Great example of the idiocracy that rules us.

Their actions make them powerful. King makers, deal makers. That is what they seek.

1. Magic Bullet Theory

2. Holly Maddox's body stuffed in trunk and his murderer pal Ira Einhorn on the run because he got him out on bail so he could flee and hide.

3. Scottish Law.

4. Dem's Buttboy!
