no health care to illegal immigrants so says Arlen.

He's saying that because he knows full well that they're going to make all the illegals legal before the healthcare bill takes effect....

[TomGuy]

I still can’t go over Specter’s comment of “I don’t have to be here, I don’t get extra pay for this.”

He has a smirk of arrogance most of the time while responding to the questions -- like 'why do I have to be amongst the commoners?'.

[maggief]

Snarlen won’t support a bill that allows access to bank accounts.

Does he have a clue what is in this bill? /rhetorical question

[traderrob6]

“he said he will not support a bill that raises the deficit or gives coverage to illegals or provides money for abortions or taxes on companies currently providing coverage.”

Naivete’ is truly bliss.

Here’s video of Specter getting shouted down:

[Fresh Wind]

His lips are moving, it must be a lie.

[Mad Dawgg]

"Specter says he won’t support any bill that gives the governement access to a citizen’s bank account."

Now the next questioner is citing the unreasonable search and seizure' part of the bill of rights.!!!

Awesome!

[cripplecreek]

They already access our bank accounts so he’s just flapping his gums.

[boxerblues]

Naivete’ is truly bliss.

In Arlen case its Senility is truly bliss.

[Antoninus]

The old fox is facing his constituents now and just said "I won't vote for a Bill that has health care for Illegals, etc.".

Of course. Because he knows that the illegals will all be legalized within the next year. Don't let his word parsing fool you.

Thank You Senator Spector! You are doing more to defeat this bill than any pack of RINOS I care not to mention.
Your a brave man!

[9YearLurker]

It’s a really impressive, informed and polite but impassioned group.

However, one big game I’m picking up from Specter’s comments that I think will be a key Democrat strategy is to strip out of the senate bill anything controversial that the house has already voted for. That way, worms like Specter will vote for it—knowing that the controversial measures will be put back in in the reconciliation process. They can claim they didn’t vote for such, but they knew full well it would be in the final bill anyway.

Specter says he won’t support a bill that gives bank account information of private individuals to the government.

Funny. It seems to me that the government already gets that information. Specific information (including institution and account number) is provided to the government each year on Form 1099-INT.

[aragona]

This is fantastic!!!! Fox is really smart to bring this live. These American Patriots are heros deserve a hand for their articulate and passionate defense of our liberties!

[PapaBear3625]

On subject of Guantanamo, guy is talking about the Quran preaching about killing Christians and Jews.

[maggief]

Specter has not read the Koran. FWIW

(Scottish law, yes.)

[spectre]

Does he have a clue what is in this bill? /rhetorical question

He's going to after this group finishes taking him to school.

Arlen is making nice for the Democrats, but he knows his career depends on the crowd in that room.

Think Redemption, fluffs!

[Mad Dawgg]

"Naivete’ is truly bliss."

IF you had read AND posted the rest of my post you would have known I was skeptical BECAUSE AS I SAID HE BACKS THE SINGLEPAYER AND PUBLIC OPTION!

Please don't use leftist tactics here.

[maggief]

“Too vague for his support?”

[TornadoAlley3]

I am so proud of this mob, and sorry, I am surprised they are so well informed about the bill, I have been so cynical of the public after electing Obama, but this gives me faith in my fellow citizens.
