Once again, Arlen Specter is a Bush shill. Remember?
That's all he's ever been. It ain't about to change.

The Pukes need to make it appear that they have reasonable people making the Pro-Torture Act a triumph for democracy. Habeas corpus? Schnabeas porkus!

Don't you remember? Remember when you all came out and put your hands together for Arlen because you thought he was going to have the Chimp caged for spying on Americans? Remember the hearings? Remember the kick-ass real-time threads? Remember how that turned out?

As it turns out, Arlen has written legislation which is intended to make it legal for the Chimp to spy on anybody, for any length of time, without any kind of warrant. Remember?

Some of you old codgers might even remember way back in the 2004 primary when the Chimp Family rescued "moderate" Specter from a challenge from the right. Remember?

And don't forget the Supreme Court. Remember the Supreme Court? Abortion? Unitary executive? Don't worry -- Arlen's on the job.

1. He is also a bitter, spiteful, man -- and was slighted in the "compromise"

. . .negotiations.

He could delay things out of spite alone.

And if they go home without a signed bill, the Bush syndicate is screwed.

3. Specter, McCaine....they all are when it comes to party lines
...which is why Lieberman needs his hat handed to him and the door shut hard as he exits from the party

4. So you think Arlen Spector is just putting on a show,
...and he'll say his concerns about habeus corpus have been satisfied within a week?
