Specter slips into incoherency

| May 3, 2009

The Washington Times reports this afternoon that Arlen Specter has made the final leap into total lunacy. While on ABC’s Face the Nation, Specter responded to a question by Bob Schaeffer whether or not Specter felt he let down Pensylvanians who voted for Republican representation in the Senate, Specter yammered something about how he was let down by the Republican Party, then the cheese slid off his cracker right there on national TV when he accused Republicans of killing Jack Kemp;

Mr. Specter continued: “If we had pursued what President Nixon declared in 1970 as the war on cancer, we would have cured many strains. I think Jack Kemp would be alive today. And that research has saved or prolonged many lives, including mine.”

Yeah, we’ve had three Democrat Presidents since Richard Nixon left the White House. The Democrats controlled both houses of Congress with the exception of two years for twenty years after Nixon left office – so what the hell is this nincompoop trying to say?

I guess it’s true that when you join the Democrat party, they suck whatever is left of your brains out.

Added: I just remember that when Jocelyn Elders, Clinton’s first shot at Surgeon General, was asked why the Clinton Administration was shifting money from Heart and Cancer Research into AIDS research, her answer was “Everyone has to die from something”.

Well, Jonn, Specter got called out on his political opportunism, so he doesn’t have much else to try to justify his move, so he’s gotta pull something out of his …..hat? He oughta go on tour with Tony Bennett.

Why would he think that cancer hasn’t been cured for “political reasons” and not medical/scientific? What a politically opportunistic boob. A true politician who thinks they’re the only thing in the world that matters.

On NBC he argued that he wasn’t a loyal Democrat, although, it appears that he did say that to Obama. I hope he doesn’t get reelected, but since Murtha’s reelection, I’m trying not to get my hopes up.

And if we had voted for Gore, Christopher Reeve would have walked again…

Jocelyn Elders also said she was a big fan of Eric Clapner.
