Sen. Arlen Specter (S as in Specterite-Pa.) has changed his mind. At first blush that’s not news with regard to the longtime Republican who switched to the Dems when it looked like he’d lose the GOP primary, but when you realized Specter is not blushing when he says it regarding this particular matter, it becomes rather remarkable.
Specter was one of 20 senators who signed a letter presented to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Feb. 19, supporting the use of reconciliation, a process to avoid a Senate filibuster regarding budgetary matters, to pass ObamaCare.
Specter says he changed his mind to support of this dubious action — the people of America are making it clearer by the day they don’t want socialized medicine — because he has learned it has been used many times in the past according to PoliticsPa.Com.
So, Specter — who has been a senator since 1981 — has just come to realized this?
“I have (supported reconciliation) after taking a look at theprecedents and seeing that it has been used very, very broadly,”Specter said.
At least he didn’t cite Scottish law.
The sooner he goes the better off this country will be.
Spector is so pathetic and sad….doing anything to stay in power:changing parties,dramatically changing positions,as the political winds shift.
Shame on him
