A bitter Vichy official complains about the Allies showing up in France.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Once upon a time, Arlen Specter took as much delight in screwing over liberals as much as he did conservatives. I thank him for all he did to give us Clarance Thomas, my favorite supreme court justice. I’d like to see that version of Specter at least once before he leaves office for good.

The downside of Spectre switching parties - the MSM can't now use him as an example of a 'moderate republican'.

Democrats ranting against 'right wing extreeeemists' come a dime a dozen.

RINOs are worth at least two bits.

And suck some votes from the democrat.

You know, one has to wonder if the old coot ever read the Republican planks and beliefs of the party. I wonder if he even knows they exist.

“RINO-turned-Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.”

Actually, if I recall correctly, he started his political career as a democrat, then saw an opportunity to get a higher office as a Republican. So he switched Parties, and became a RINO. So,,,
Democrat-turned-RINO-Turned Democrat

Wow. Sphinctre rejected Republicans, democrats rejected Sphinctre, and now Politico thinks his opinions are relevant to anybody.

Hey Arlen, why are you ticked at the “extremists” in the GOP? It was the extremists in the Democrat Party that kicked you out of the Senate.

Self-delusional old fart. No one is listening, Arlen.

Well, at least he preserved his good name and political viability by distancing himself from the party.

Oh, wait...

How many times did the Republicans put this guy on the ballot? The Dems kicked him out in the primaries first time out, I’ve got to say in this instance the Dems have shown better judgement than the Republicans.

Arlen’s just jealous that Christine has something he doesn’t: a chance at being in the Senate in January.

Who give a SH*T what this idiot says, he isn’t even a Republican anymore (if he were a “moderate”) I would at least listen to/give his ideas an ear..but when you leave the party, IMO that doesn’t give you the right to criticize.

Go SHUT UP Arlen, and criticize your own party, they’re the one’s that threw you out, you were too Chicken to find out what the Republican electorate really thought about you! LOL

That's okay Arlen - you still got some moderates clinging to you...
