Democrats Break Promise to Arlen Specter; Strip Him of Committee Seniority
When Democrats were persuading Arlen Specter to change parties Specter was promised by Harry Reid that he would be able to keep his seniority on the committees that he is currently on. That is not going to happen as the senate has voted to strip him of all of his seniority on these committees. Sorry Arlen, thanks for coming.
He was lied to. Or was he?
Are Democrats just using his seniority to keep him in line? There is a chance that Arlen Specter could get his seniority back in the next congress if he wins re-election. Perhaps the Democrats are using his seniority as a bargaining chip for the upcoming session.
Arlen Specter made the comment last week that he thought the Minnesota courts should declare Republican candidate Norm Coleman the winner of the contested senate race in that state. That did not set well with his new friends in congress.
Sen. Specter better watch comments like these. They won’t help him in the caucus
That certainly sounds like a threat and it appears as if stripping him of his seniority may be a punishment for his comments. Are they trying to tell him that if he falls in line he will be able to get his seniority back in the next session?
Democrats are denying this is the case, but the timing sure is suspect. Specter was told that if he switched parties he would retain seniority but then it was stripped from him. Something changed and Specter’s comments could have irked Democrats enough to fire this warning shot over the bow towards Specter.
It is either that or they lied to him in the first place and they just can’t be trusted.

If a Dem chooses to challenge Specter you can be sure they’ll be using Arlens seniority against him.

I have no sympathy for Sen. Specter. He’s going to find the Democrats to be hard partners, and it’s likely he’ll still face a primary challenge. Plus, his disgusting exploitation of the death of Jack Kemp to score political points shows him to be a man without a shred of character.

O heard about how Specter mentioned it was Republican policies that killed Kemp. That was one of the more tasteless and disgusting thinkgs I have seen in politics in a long time.

This Specter scene reminds me of that bratty kid from The Chronicles of Narnia who sells out his siblings for some sweets from the White Witch who, incidentally, reminds me of a more attractive version of Nancy Pelosi. Come to think of it, Barney Frank probably could’ve fit into Narnia without any special effects.

I’m sorry but this just exposes how you can’t trust Reid and the rest of them. It also shows you that what goes around always come around. When you sell out for 30 pieces of silver, it never ends well.
