The most notable element of lefty Arlen Specter's defection to the party owned by International Lefty, George Soros, is that it is a tantamount admission that he is totally corrupt. This RINO, who voted with the left, and the far left, as much as he did with his own party, at times obviously SOLD HIS VOTES for conservative judge nominations, in return for the Republican Party either not challenging his re-nomination or, as in the case of 2004, President Bush affirmatively supporting Specter against the Conservative challenger, Mr. Toomey.
My prediction is that Specter, who previously announced that he is AGAINST the "Card Check" bill, i.e. the Union sponsored legislation, which does away with a secret ballot in the Union's attempt to force a union on employers, will try to SELL THAT VOTE to the union, in return for their support for his candidacy, as a Democrat, in the 2010 election.
This Republican “pretender” (because he doesn’t even rise to the level of the typical RINO), was a Democrat for his first 33 years; but switched to the Republican Party in 1966, in order to win elections. His only consistency over the years, has been his willingness to be inconsistent, in order to advance his own career, having fed at one public trough or another, since then.
He has been in (not served) the U.S. Senate since 1980. That is 29 years of betraying principle after principle to advance HIS interests, not the interests of his country or his party. “Time” magazine, another wholly owned subsidiary of the party of the left, even selected him as one of the “… Ten Best Senators” in 2006. How better can one identify him as a leftist in GOP clothing.
Perhaps now that he is returning to the party without principles, he will even change the spelling of his name to “Spectre”, more accurately matching his sinister meanderings between left and right. His shameful rant of today, April 28, 2009, will be the disgraceful cornerstone of his years as a parasite on the American public.
