It’s All About Arlen Specter’s Personal Agenda

Here is a man of betrayal that has no shame and no loyalty to party, country, or even his constituents. Senator Specter has only his own selfish personal agenda first and foremost on his list of priorities. It is completely disingenuous to the people that voted him into office to change parties and accept a different political philosophy to fulfill an egocentric desire to remain in Congress.

“I was unwilling to subject my 29-year record in the U.S. Senate to the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate”
~Senator Arlen Specter

Well, at least he didn’t say 29-year record of conservative values.

Arlen Specter had virtually no hope of being reelected as a Republican. By changing his party affiliation he now stands a chance of perpetuating his existence in Congress regardless of his effectiveness or worth. And a question for Pennsylvania Democrats, if elected in 2010 what’s to stop him from switching back to the Republican side of the aisle?

This is a man drowning in old age that will do anything to perpetuate his status as a sitting Senator.

Senator Specter was in a leadership position within the Republican party where he could influence and initiate change if that was his intention. But it was not his intention. He will now be a follower in the Democratic party bending and swaying to the demands of the liberal leadership while continuing to keep a seat polished with his hind end.

Specter has lived his life for the past 40 years as a Republican supposedly based on conservative values and has now become enamored by the party of big taxes, big government, big spending, and endless abortions. How is it that a 79 year-old man wakes up one day, looks in the mirror and exclaims,”I’ve been living a lie”?

The answer: he doesn’t, it’s all about Arlen Specter, a political defector with an intrinsic personal agenda.
