Why should anyone care what a turncoat has to say?Specter is no turncoat, he has always been a liberal POS. The Republican voters who kept him in office when he kept stabbing them in the back are the ones to blame. Specter always showed his true colors even if the citizens were too color blind to see.

You have had 30 years Arlen. Go retire somewhere and shut up!

NO Arlen, the Rockefeller-Bob Michel-Gerald Ford wing of the GOP is turning the party into a permanent minority.

Appearing later on the same show, some Republican figures essentially agreed with that assessment, even while they did not endorse all of Specters remarks.Let's see who these unnamed Republican figures are...
'Meet the Press' transcript for May 3, 2009
Then, the future of the Republican party with: MSNBC's Fmr. Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL) & Fmr. RNC Chair Ed Gillespie.
And they've got...1 page out of 4.
I'm not impressed.

Reagan cut taxes. All Porculus does is RAISE them. There are NO Conservatives on the alphabet networks. It’s a stacked deck. Liberals are liars and petty thieves.

“On NBCs Meet the Press, Senator Specter blamed the inner workings of the conservative movement for his own departure, and suggested that there has to be room for people who are moderates.
This is such a ridiculous statement in light of how the party governed since Bush took office in 2001. The moderates in the party have basically run the show since then, screwing over Conservatives at virtually every turn. They could be depended upon to vote exactly the wrong way or undermine the fight on virtually every important issue to Conservatives or back down when the going got tough on a vital issue in the face of liberal opposition. It’s nothing but a snow job for political cover.
Spectre is nothing but a political pimp in search of sustaining his Senate seat which he would lose in a primary. He does not give a damn who he steps on or destroys. Right now he is merely in the process of trying to endear himself to Democrat voters in PA by dumping on the Republican party in general.
The Republican party has outlived its usefulness to him so he’s gone. He’s the worst kind of politician and the damned Democrats can him. He’ll fit right in. He’ll probably croak before he has a chance to screw them over too, again.

The GOP has a new leader waiting in the wings. He is a Four Star General with a PhD. He is the world’s leading expert on asymmetric warfare. He has been nose to nose with Obama and taken measure of the man. He knows the enemy.

He was smart enough to know you need numbers to govern. Numbers mean nothing if the fool consistently votes opposite the rest of the party.

Those darn conservative primary voters in Pennsylvania. How dare they attempt to take away what is rightfully Specters for life!! /s As a PA conservative primary voter who has spent the past five years working to send this guy to the retirement home, I wear his scorn as a badge of honor.
Typical Rat - do whatever it takes to survive.

MR. SCARBOROUGH: But here's the, here's the problem, though. When Republicans took over Washington--and we're not just talking about George W. Bush, we're talking about Republican Congress. When Republicans took over Congress in 2001 and the White House, we owned Washington, D.C., like Democrats do now. We had $155 billion surplus. When Republicans got out of power we had a $1.5 trillion debt--deficit. We doubled the national debt from about $5.7 trillion to about $11 trillion. Americans believe that we were spending too much money on foreign wars as well. We, we were the world's 911. We got away from the basics that Eddie and I worked on in the 1990s: balancing the budget, reforming welfare and adopting Colin Powell. You want to know a true conservative on foreign policy? It's Colin Powell, who says we go to war sparingly, and when we go to war we fight to win so we can bring our troops home. We've gotten away from that. And it's not just been one Republican, it's been the entire party. We've got to refocus. That's why when I hear Democrats like Arlen Specter and read editorialists like E.J. Dionne saying how liberal--or, or how conservative the Republican Party's become, they've got it backwards. We have not been conservative as a party, we've been radical.
That's Why!

The majority party gets the committee chairmen.
Numbers do matter.
