Freepers, other citizens storm Sen. Specter's Office on Porkulus

Written by Melanie Morgan   
Monday, 09 February 2009

Sen. Arlen Specter must feel like one lucky man today. He wasn’t in his Capitol Hill offices when MAF Chairman Melanie Morgan, Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee, Freepers and Free Republic founder Jim Robinson, and other patriotic citizens stormed his office to demand he reverse his position supporting the porkulus bill, aka the Barack-Blowing-Through- Dollars-Scheme.

MAF, as you know, is a protroops organization, and it is our opinion that this legislation will hurt veterans’ healthcare - not to mention every other American.

We’re really in town for our big press conference on Tuesday, when we release our commercial opposing President Obama’s decision to close Gitmo.

But we kept ourselves busy today. Melanie was at her finest, when we arrived at Specter’s office. For those of you who don’t know Specter, he’s a flip-flopping, spineless bureacrat who calls himself a Republican. He’s also one of the traitors who supports Obama’s spendulus bill. This is why he was a target for Monday’s action, spurred by Kirstinn Taylor of Free Republic.

Melanie and Jim Robinson asked to see the Senator. Specter’s front-office staff need to go back to kindergarten to get their manners tuned up. either that or they should go to work at Wal-Mart to pick up some tips from their greeters. A secretary, who wasn’t happy to see American patriots, refused to answer where the Senator was hiding. Jim, wearing his Navy cap, asked over and over about the Senator’s whereabouts, but the secretary wasn’t helping. It was distressing to see a Navy veteran being treated with such disrespect by a Senator’s staff.

Well, the cold-shoulder was too much for Melanie, who decided to take matters into her own hands. She stepped to the closed door leading to Specter’s office and the offices of his staffers, and flung it open. I didn’t take notes on what she said, but it went something like this:

“Come out! We want to talk to somebody right now!!”

The secretary didn’t like this. “You can’t go in there,” she warned Melanie, who promptly ignored her.

“Sombody come out here right now!!! We want to talk to you. Now!!!”

Specter’s chief of staff had finally had enough and came out to face the American citizens who wanted to redress their government official.

Melanie stepped toward him and unleashed a wave of complaints that hit him like a typhoon.

Again, I didn’t take notes, but it went something like this:

“Tell Specter to stop acting like a liberal. We are watching him and we’re not going to let him get away with this!”

Others had a few things to add to that. Debbie Lee introduced herself and handed the chief of staff a card with her son, Marc’s, picture on it. He was the first Navy SEAL to give his life in Iraq, she explained.

Liz Colby Harp brought her five homeschooled children so Specter could see whom he is saddling with trillions of dollars of debts. She was gracious, intelligent and dead on with her remarks.

I tried to cut this down ,but posted most of it above because it was riviting!

I like to leave some out to encourage readers to go the website of conservative pundits because there is usually many more good writings on their websites.

I felt sorry for Spector today when he was on the Sean Hannity show today. It was clear his brain has failed him completely and he just talks in circles. How else can you explain how stupid he sounded.

Specter is just another guy who underwent unsuccessful brain surgery.

He's probably unaware of the fact that there's a provision in there that's going to cut him off from anymore experimental surgery.

Those RINOs live on experimental surgery!

I love what she did. We pay for that stupid staff and we expect results.

Outstanding! Thanks for posting this!

He took down the notes with a shaky hand and gave a smile that you might only see on a condemned man as he is walking to the gas chamber.

I hope reality started dawning on him real quick. Next time it may be an armed posse with torches, pitchforks, semiautomatic weapons, and plenty of hanging rope.

TO WASHINGTON BUREAUCRATS: WE ARE TIRED OF THIS CRAP!!!

Collins, too, on Today. I was left thinking (after hearing it on the radio) who would ever vote for this moron? Cloture means that they now just need a simple majority in the Senate and then the House can replace all that Dem pork that was removed in the Senate. Then the House votes on it. Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be wondering why we all thought the USA was the best place to live. By the time they are adults, the USA will be just another Socialist country and as miserable as all the rest. Taps anyone?

Pray Psalms 109 with RINO Specter in mind.

Maybe God will call him home immediately.

I heard him on the internet too and didn't realize how stupid Spector really is on his comments about the economy and how FDR's policies brought the USA out of recession.

I feel sad that the Republicans have such senior senators that don't have a clue, but I guess it says a lot about how left Pennsylvania had gone over the years.

Specter is going to be on R.J. Harris at WHP 580 Harrisburg, tomorrow morning. I sent R.J. an email and told him to ask Arlen what he planned to do once we retired him from office next year.

My thoughts exactly, I saw her and said gee, someone would have to slip her a brain cell so she could have one.

Steele has to take the lead here and cut these people off. As far as I am concerned stripping them all of their committee jobs would be a nice first step.

If you can’t stand on your principles, what do you stand for.

Frankly I think Spector had way to much chemo ...

I didn’t get to hear him on Hannity’s show today—had to leave before he came on. Heard Steele though—basically he was saying that Specter, Collins, and Snowe are putting themselves before country. I guess it’s not surprising. It is a shame though when someone has been in the Senate as long as Specter and is as old as he is and he is still putting himself before country. At this point in life, you would think the man would just do what is right. Maybe he doesn’t know how to at this late date.

Steele should ask they be stripped of their committee assignments and reduced to back benchers. But no one has the balls.

So how is Steele going to attract new recruits to the party with these kooks?

Excellent that someone in the party is willing to state the truth. I hope this is a trend, and not an event.

I heard him today on Hannity and it was very sad. He really does seem to be clueless and not doing this on purpose.

I wrote to Steele last night. We should all write to him and let him know that conservatives are dying for straight talk. Tell him to keep it up:
