Arlen Specter to switch party

[Joiseydude]

Breaking news on FNC

[Joiseydude]

He will run as dem in the next election

[InABunkerUnderSF]

What a shock.

[deadrock]

I wish all rinos would switch once and for all.

[Knute]

RINO scumbag

[rintense]

Door meet a$$.

[Pete]

What?!? He is going to become a Republican!?!

[mockingbyrd]

HOLY CRAP!!!!! Toomey must just have terrified him. Sayanora RINO!

[cripplecreek]

One less RINO horn up our butts.

[bossmechanic]

Good for him. Another RINO down. Long live honesty.

[Badeye]

No surprise here. And I’m glad he’s out of the party.

[Izzy Dunne]

Obviously all this Dem craziness is attractive to him.
Nice Timing, Mr. Scot.

[Francis McClobber]

He did this only to try to keep his seat.

What a yutz.

[randita]

Can he be recalled? I’m a Pennsylvanian who voted for him because I wanted a Republican in the Senate, not a Democrat.

[rintense]

I am still pissed Bush chose to support this assclown. You can bet the dems made him a sweet offer, that’s for sure. As much as I dislike Joe Lieberman, I’d laugh if he switched.

[NewJerseyJoe]

Wonder if Dubya will endorse him again?

[floriduh voter]

At least he’s not going to pretend any more. He’s an out of the closet crook now!

[papertyger]

Bahahahahahha...

Y’all know he started out as a democrat when he was in Philadelphia, right?

[Creek Injun]

Hopefully, McCain and the rest of the leftist/globalist republicans will soon follow.

[maggief]

What will the Pigeon Sisters do now?

[wk4bush2004]

YES!!!! First RINO senator PURGED!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

I think Toomey scared the death out of him!

[fightinbluhen51]

I agree! Let him leave, hopefully this will piss off enough people he can’t get re-elected!

[Bean Counter]

TAKE MCCAIN WITH YOU SENATOR!!!

[ErnBatavia]

This gives ‘em their 60 now, right?

[dirtboy]

He will run as dem in the next election

It will be VERY interesting to see if he draws a Dem primary opponent.

[freekitty]

Goodbye to bad rubbish.

[fml]

I didn’t but am not suprised.

[henkster]

The problem is that they’ve got their lock on 60 until 2010. There is no stopping the socialist blitzkrieg that will get rammed through in the next 12 months.

Arlen, how far will your 30 pieces of silver get you?

[pgyanke]

Repeal the 17th... and then recall his sorry butt!

So much for representation of ANY kind!

[Pistolshot]

This bodes ill...with Sphincter switching the Dems have 60 votes if Freaken gets seated.

[TChris]

I would imagine that Mr. Specter knows the Democrats will be the majority party for a very long time. He just doesn't want to be in the minority any longer.

The TOTUS and his handlers have virtually guaranteed that Democrats will rule this country for a very, very long time. (Oh, and you paid for it...)

[Big_Monkey]

"It will be VERY interesting to see if he draws a Dem primary opponent.

Before he announced, I thought it was very curious that there weren't any announced Dem candidates, nor was their any Dem that was being publicly pushed to run. I bet when all the dust settles, that this has been in the works for some time.

Will Limbaugh now allow Toomey equal time on his show?

[icwhatudo]

I wonder if Mike Steele will still support him...

[jamese777]

This gives ‘em their 60 now, right?

---

Only if and when Al Franken is seated. Until then, 59.

[behzinlea]

Specter always has been a steaming, back-stabbling, duplicitous POS. No principles, no honor. He’ll fit in perfectly as an overt Democrat.

[roses of sharon]

Perfect fit for the UnAmerican Democrat Party.

[dead]

Welcome to JimJeffordsville, jerk. You’ll not be missed.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

The last good thing Specter did was put an end to that silly Anita Hill.

I have to give him props for the way he defended Clarence Thomas. After that, though, he has been an embarrassment.

[LowTaxesEqualProsperity]

This may make it even harder to avoid the Dems having 60 Senators.

[Frantzie]

I hope Juan McCain switches - probably to the Mexico PRI Party. I am so sick of RINOs.

[South Hawthorne]

Not exactly breaking news.

I thought he did this about 25 years ago.

[icwhatudo]

“TAKE JOHN MCCAIN AND HIS DAUGHTER WITH YOU!!!!!!!”

2 thumbs up

[NoDRodee]

Cindy Lauper (sp?) song comes to mind:

“I see your true colors, shining through”

[jamese777]

Can he be recalled? I’m a Pennsylvanian who voted for him because I wanted a Republican in the Senate, not a Democrat.

Senators cannot be recalled/

[southlake_hoosier]

I guess he will be announcing that he didn't pay taxes now.

[ican'tbelieveit]

That was my thought. His internal data must have shown he was going to lose the primary.

[Republic]

I don't like conservatives who forget their cores.

Arlan must have researched some more Scottish Law and discovered that switching parties is a right thing to do to protect your ass.

[Osage Orange]

Doesn't matter anyway.

They may as well have 62 right now....

[pillut48]
