I will give you 10 reasons not to vote/re-elect Arlen Specter:
- He's been in Congress for over 30 years. That makes him a career politician. He might even die in office. Arlen Specter is 80 years-old and a cancer survivor. He wants to remain in power like one of the kings who ruled over America prior to the revolution. Being elected to Congress has essentially become a lifetime job. They usually stay in office until they die or quit.
- He is disliked in the Senate among his colleagues.
- Voted for the Iraq War
- Endorsed John McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008: "They were the better choice"
- Refused to confirm Elena Kagan for Solicitor General. Now he wants to wait till after the election to decide if he confirm to the Supreme Court bench.
- George W. Bush endorsed Specter: 'I can count on this man...he’s a firm ally when it matters most. I’m proud to tell that I think he’s earned another term in the United States Senate.'
- He called Anita Hill a liar.
- Rick Santorum endorsed Arlen Specter
- Voted with Bush Republicans thousands of times...before changing his party affiliation.
- He's a political opportunist. He has no loyalty. He just recently changed his party affiliation when it became clear he would lose if he remained a Republican. Can you trust such a man.
