too funny...

"Specter lashed back Wednesday, strongly suggesting he had been betrayed.

In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, Specter said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had promised him that his seniority would be preserved."

serves you right specter!

A thought

For a moment, consider that Specter is a GOP covert point man. Specter defects being promised re-election with support from "on high". After defection, the democratic " on high support " turns into a Gladius in the back, or just another bus rolling down the street. Specter exposes the Curs for what they are. Specter goes on the be a beloved national hero..........On the other hand..............

Specter has probably reaped what he has sowed. Good day for Tom Ridge....unless the above turns out to be true.

My $.02.

The real justice would be if the voters in PA betray him at the poles the next election. The self serving ass-wipe.

Treason is its own reward.
__________________
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Snickers.

No, not the candy bar.

I can't believe he's surprised...I do believe the far left would eat their own young.

Arlen planted a bitter crop and is now getting the bitter harvest of his efforts.

And, we all know that Harry "Pinky" Reid is a man of honor.

Here in PA Arlen Sphincter has long lost all credibility in both parties. As far as him being relegated to the "Junior" Senator from PA. Couldnt happen to a nicer guy. Sleep well, Arlen.

He did this for his own personal reason....... reelection. Now he is seen as the true phony that he is. Better get on the "Murtha" plan soon and start sending millions of pork to PA. He may be forgiven then?
