I guess that Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) really is happier in his new party:
Sen. Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania Democrat, said part of the reason he left the Republican Party last week was disillusionment with its healthcare priorities, and suggested that had the Republicans taken a more moderate track, Jack Kemp may have won his battle with cancer.
…because he’s certainly picked up from them the trick of using safely dead people to push a partisan talking point. Jack Kemp isn’t even buried yet; and he had nothing to do with the current political situation, you disgusting piece of partisan slime. I don’t expect truly civilized behavior from you anymore, but I did foolishly think that you could be trusted to show more delicacy than a hyena at the passing of a former friend.
Yes, ‘former’ friend. I have liberal friends; if one of them should die before me, I won’t be using his or her death to push the GOP’s agenda. That’s because I’m a decent human being, and you’re not.
In short: thanks for leaving my party. Don’t ever come back.

PS: Have you ever even googled “Big Pharma?” Do you have any idea who you’re allied with, now? It’s groups like this. And this. And this.

Apparently the wrong one died from cancer

JadedByPolitics Sunday, May 3rd at 11:10PM EDT (link)Specter is pimple on the a@@ of society. I guess Christopher Reeve should be walking about now what with liberals ability to use dead people to FORCE Nationalized Healthcare or at least that is what Specters party mate John Edwards promised in 2004 that if Kerry/Edwards were elected they would magically get this man out of his wheelchair and walking.

mbecker908 Sunday, May 3rd at 11:15PM EDT (link)Mrs908 locked the gun safe with her combination, I can’t open it. She took my credit cards. I called my sponsor.
So, I want some details from Specter about just what he thinks our healthcare priorities should have been so Jack could have survived. After all, former Rep. Kemp - I believe - still had access to the same health plan that covers sitting members of Congress and that’s the best deal on earth. Even if he didn’t, he was pretty well off. Certainly well enough off to have health insurance. And medicare.
So, Senator, definition please.
Good points
David123 Sunday, May 3rd at 11:26PM EDT (link)And at 73 years old, Jack Kemp would have been vulnerable to non-treatment or treatment delays if a healthcare system were imposed that limits treatment of older Americans.

I realize that the Senate is supposed to be a “gentleman’s club” and all that crud, but dang it, I really wish one of Kemp’s many friends in the Senate would take to the floor of the Senate and give Specter a proverbial taking to the wood shed.
Senator have you no shame?

No bounds to liberal insanity
dirkbelig Monday, May 4th at 1:42AM EDT (link)I got my wake-up call about the mental pathologies that animate liberal jerks like Specter on Sept. 11, 2001. The WTC had just collapsed, killing untold thousands of people. Initial speculation was in the tens of thousands dead,
On a message board populated by many New Yorkers and even more unhinged liberal maniacs who took the defeat of Al Gore almost as badly as Reagan’s defeat of Jimmy Carter - I’m not kidding; these people viewed Reagan as the beginning of the end of America - one guy, a Californian originally from NYC posted, “This is the result of the coup d’etat orchestrated by the Supreme Court last year to install Bush in office over the will of the people.”
O…M…F…G…
Not 30 minutes before, our country had just withstood a massacre of civilians and the first place his diseased mind ran to was his soapbox to rail against the denial of his party’s continued rule. Again, I’m not making this up! This jackass would then proceed to post personal information about me: my address, phone numbers, photos, etc. in order to strip my of anonymity and make an example of me to chill anyone else’s ideas of speaking against the liberal mob.
The kicker was when he thought I was somehow compromising HIS privacy and rushed to the forum operator to have me banned, which happened without my being asked first what was going on. When I explained what he was seeing, I was reinstated at the cost of my low member number, post count and private messages. Whoops! Sorry about that. Bah.
This one a-hole was the Rosetta Stone for understanding just how craven and inhumane liberals are. Specter’s insipid burbling is no surprise to anyone who understands the dark, empty hearts of liberals. Those bozos like David Frum and Jeb Bush who think the Stupid Party needs to cuddle up to the winning strategies of the fascist statists in order to win fail to understand the nature of the enemy and how accommodating them is no different from accommodating evil.

ZootSuit Monday, May 4th at 12:10PM EDT (link)Specter’s comments were just crass in the extreme. I mean, it would be in very bad taste for a Republican to use a Ted Kennedy death in such a crass manner. Specter owes Kemp’s family and the families and friends of everyone who have lost a loved one due to cancer (myself included) an apology.
Forgive me — because as a Christian, I should not think these thoughts — but when I first read Arlen Specter’s comments I hoped that Specter will very shortly relapse and die a very painful death due to his cancer.
