Specter Intends to Switch Political Parties

[HiWarp]

This guy is a special type of slimebag.  He spends his career being a stealth Democrat and when he realizes that the voters have had enough of his shenanigans and will probably vote his ass out, he's going to switch parties.  This dirtbag is 79 years old and apparently can't stand the thought of being out of power.  79 YEARS OLD!!!  If this doesn't confirm the problem that career politicians cause, I don't know what does.

Veteran GOP Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania intends to switch political parties and run in the Democratic primary in 2010, FOX News has confirmed.

"I deeply regret that I will be disappointing many friends and supporters," Specter said in prepared remarks to be delivered at a news conference on Tuesday.

"I can understand their disappointment," he continued. "I am also disappointed that so many in the party I have worked for for more than four decades do not want me to be their candidate. It is very painful on both sides."

The switch puts Democrats within two votes of a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

Specter was facing a tough primary challenge from Pat Toomey, head of the conservative Club for Growth, who almost defeated Specter in a 2004 GOP primary.

We all knew this.  We all knew he was a treasonous sub-human...   His support of Obama's Socialist agenda as just the last straw.

HIWARP said it all for me. I am a lifelong PA resident and have had to tolerate Benedict Arlen for almost 30 years as senator.

It is Jews like HIM that make so many people hate Jews....and Lieberman is not much different.

I wanted him to go BACK to the democratic party years ago...but I guess he still had work to do as a 5th columnist in the R party. Now that he sees he's done as much damage as he can, he is going home to the D Party he first started out in (and left in 1965 to become an "R".)

Words cannot express my absolute hatred and contempt for this walking piece of drek.

I was looking forward to being able to vote him out in the Rep primary; and because of the level of hatred for him here in PA from Reps, coupled with the polls that showed he'd lose heavily if he stayed Rep, he jumped ship.

I am going to switch my registration temporarily to D JUST so I can STILL vote against him! I will vote for the D candidate running against him. Then I will switch back to R and vote R in the final election.

I WILL NOT be denied my RIGHT to vote against this b*stard!!

JewishAmericanPatriot,

Good, I hope you do exercise your right to vote against this unethical man.
