Here is video of Sen. Arlen Specter facing tremendous anger today at a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania. Almost everyone in the crowd was opposed to ObamaCare. Citizen after citizen rose to ask their questions of Specter, who seemed shell-shocked by the atmosphere in the room. More to come later.....

This second town hall meeting is pretty mild compared to his first one.

Moving right along now....”Who has question #21?”

What do those stupid citizens know? They’re all a bunch of dumb hicks who can never even contemplate rising to the high level of brilliance of all those Democrats in congress.

Those dumb hicks. They just don’t get it and never will.

So far Specter has said he is against:

Aid to illegal aliens
Card check
Mandatory end of life lectures
Bringing Gitmo terrorist killers to America
etc. etc. etc.

So why did he leave the Republican ranks?

The truth is, he is a liar. He will vote in lockstep with the Democrats for this health care outrage.

Mr. Specter is not a wise man. He’s an average politician trying to save his butt.

Listen, anyone with half an ounce of a brain knows that health care reform is a joke. Medicare is a nightmare, Medicaid is a nightmare, and Social Security is a ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff blush.

So, why does Mr. Specter and his colleagues insist that THIS plan will work?

Either he is the biggest dummy this side of Greenwich Mean Time, or his is a liar. Take your pick. Neither alternative is flattering nor hopeful.

LOL! Specter is a person who deserves tar and feathers.

Keep the pressure up folks. Call, Fax and get everyone to a townhall.

I watched some of this, this morning. He wasn’t answering a single question, but it was good of him to give Face Time to the unwashed and p*ssed off masses.

I think the citizens presented themselves in a very calm manner; much better than I could’ve done!

I think many of these vermin politicians are stunned. Dingel sicking the cops on the man with his son in the wheelchair.

The guy outside of Atlanta where about 3,000 people showed up!

Zoe in San Jose (fairly lib town) hammered by a samrt audience.

Same thing in liberal Monterey just south of Zoe’s district where they slammed some male Dem Rep.

KEep the pressure on.

questions of Specter, who seemed shell-shocked by the atmosphere in the room

Shocked? Why?
The Obama regime is about to ruin the best health care system in the world while at the same time passing on TRILLION’S of dollars in debt to our grandchildren to pay for his fiasco and people like Spectator are shocked that the citiznes are pissed?
Hang in there Spectator because you have not seen anything yet.
If our current Communist leader continues on the path to destroy America as we have known it, things are going to get a lot worse for you real quick...

If Arlen,with his reoccuring health problems, had Barrycare (like the rest of us will be forced to have), he’d be DOA.

I have watched plenty of townhall videos the past week or so... and they are all the same... angry citizens expressing their rights to speak against the Healthcare "reforms."

However, it seems to me that I haven't seen any Democrats change their views in spite of overwhelming opposition.

My question is this... is all this Tea Partying for naught?
