Retarded Politician of the Week

The Dishonorable Arlen Specter, Senator from Pennsylvania.

The Republican party should have drop-kicked this RINO turd years ago. He is an example of everything that is wrong in the Republicans party: no loyalty, no adherence to conservative principles, big-spender, soft on Constitutional rights. And did I mention no loyalty?

Senator Specter is expected to announce today that he is switching parties to become a Democrat. My guess is that this is only a formality, since Specter has essentially been a Democrat in practice for decades. I still cannot believe that Bushwhacker 43 supported Specter against legitimate conservative Pat Toomey in 2004, especially when Specter would not help with appointment of conservative judges to the Supreme Court.

Getting rid of Specter in 2010 should be a priority for conservatives. It should have been a priority in 1998 and 2004. Specter should at least have had the decency to continue to caucus with the party that elected him in 2004, but he is too much of a turd to be loyal to those who elected him. So, another vote goes to the Democrats and their out of control socialist agenda and disrespect for 2nd Amendment rights. Now they might have the votes needed to shut out conservatives and finish their shafting of the American public.

One can only hope that those other two turds in the punchbowl, RINO Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, will have the decency to not seek reelection or formally associate themselves with Democrats. For now, Arlen Specter is Retarded Politician of the Week.
