I'm calling BS on Specter

[LaughingCat]

The country's newest democrat is blaming the GOP for Jack Kemp's death. Now, I think DrudgeReport.com is far to the Right, DailyKos.com is too far to the Left and reality resides somewhere outside our borders, but to assume a party caused someone's death is crazy.

Actually, he is saying the GOPs views on stem-cell research and cancer funding might have delayed a cure that could've helped Kemp survive. I call BS because if the only wake-up call to a politician is a direct impact close to home, then he is going to keep towing the same politican BS line regardless of party affiliation.

Let the contrinuation of US money squander commence.

He made his move to try and hold on to his seat, plain and simple. He has no morals or ideals. I would love for the GOP candidate to kick his a$$ but it would also be great to see the Dems kill him off in the primary, that would be truly fitting for that turncoat RINO/DINO.

Specter is definately a democrat. Only a democrat could spew such crap and get a total pass from the press.

Is politics all you ever want to talk about? Ask your buddy Marc about Jay Palini. We were all in the same BOAT club.

I did my share of drugs in 1074, but I never felt the urge to dress up like a gild, cute curtsies and all. Other than that.........................

Specter Will Be Junior Democrat on Committees
By John Stanton
Roll Call Staff
May 5, 2009, 8:55 p.m.

Despite promises from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) that Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) would retain his seniority after switching parties, Specter will be put at the end of the seniority line on all his committees but one under a resolution approved on the floor late Tuesday.

Under the modified organizing resolution, Specter will not keep his committee seniority on any of the five committees that he serves on and will be the junior Democrat on all but one — the chamber’s Special Committee on Aging. On that committee, he will be next to last in seniority.

As a result, Specter — who as a Republican was ranking member on the Judiciary Committee and a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, as well as ranking member of the panel’s Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education — will now rank behind all the other Democrats, at least until the end of this Congress.

According to a senior Democratic aide, it remains unclear whether Specter — who will still retain his seniority in the Senate outside of the committees — will see a boost in his committee seniority should he be re-elected for the next session. The status of his seniority for the next Congress will be determined once the 112th Congress convenes in 2011, the aide said.

Democrats said that while unrelated, Specter’s comments to the New York Times Magazine this weekend indicating he would support former Sen. Norm Coleman’s (R-Minn.) disputed re-election bid against Al Franken have angered many Democrats.

“Sen. Specter better watch comments like these. They won’t help him in the caucus,” a Democratic leadership aide said, adding that the comments have “caused a lot of heartburn in the caucus.”


Looks like they are already screwing the poor old fool. Good luck with that re-election bid there Arlen.....
