Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Specter says Reid broke his promise

'Reid assured me that I would keep my seniority'.
Seniority is for loyal Dems you scumbag.
I can't wait for Tweety to feast on this in a few minutes.

...he'll move back to the other side of the aisle?

...by Toomey in the primary.

Hello, Arlen, and welcome to NO-MAN'S LAND!

:rofl:

he's like the man without a country--he's the man without a party. Now we need to have a Dem challenge him in the primary.

Superb.

There must be something we don't yet know or understand

That could be DU's motto. :thumbsup:

suggest that for the store

This is sooo true. There is an entire contingent here that seems to think the conserva-dems can do no wrong and whenever a bad call is made it must be some kind of strategic genius to it.

This is a simple matter really. There are liberal democrats in the Senate that recall Spectors voting record and don't want to reward his political savvy in switching out of a party that wouldn't have endorsed him. Some of the clever progressives realized that there was an excellent chance that a liberal progressive could have stormed Pennsylvania with a split unendorsed-Spector/ endorsed-conservative nutjob thing.

So they gave him a bit of payback for Machiavellian BS move.

My bet is he promised Obama that he will be loyal then went out and tried to fuck him. (Not by design, he is just such a self centered prick that he doesn't fully comprehend the big picture)

Fuck me! Fuck me! No FUCK YOU ARLEN!

His vote against the budget, his announcement that he'll continue to oppose Dawn Johnson's nomination, and that bullshit about hoping Coleman wins in Minnesota (?) just showed Obama what an opportunistic weasel Specter is, and Obama did the politically wise and expedient thing and neutered him.

The sneaky, lying fuck got what he deserved. Now, let him whine while he votes with the Republicans.

Nice to see Democrats doing it right, isn't it?

Reid doesn't have the balls to stand up to ANYONE.

No doubt we'll find out soon enough... ;)

I don't know why he bothers, nor why anyone believes him about anything anymore.

He's got too many private promises to keep.

Emphasis on himself. The deal seemed more or less to be Specter was to be delivered from a repuke primary that he was destined to lose in exchange for playing some ball with senate democrats (i.e. work for Reid). Since Specter has decided to act as though he has no intention of delivering on his end, Reid is putting the screws to him.

this is Rahm Emanuel and Obama, all the way.

Chicago pols at work.

Pros.

I love it ....................

after 2010. O'Donnell is great as usual on Tweety.

is to act immediately. Rahm heard this, went ballistic, told Obama, who said, "Fuck this noise," and they made a couple of phone calls.

This is beautiful. I'm feeling like I still live in Chicago .................


Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

:)

He's trying to backtrack now -- but the deed is done.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha - Go Tweety
says he has as much seniority as Burris. :rofl: :rofl:

it was the Senate Democrats, and not Reid who nixed Specter. I don't think they liked the idea that they were going to be pushed down the ladder by this usurper. None of them agreed to the deal and to drop to lesser levels on committees.

And wrings his hands with delight.

We welcome real DEMOCRATS! Not opportunists who are short on their luck elsewhere trying to just profit for themselves!

He's everybody's punching bag these days.

:nopity:

Being last in line to ask. No matter. Everyone will have gone home or fallen asleep by then.

Come election time, seniority won't be a draw card.

Arlen and get beaten by them in the primary. :evilgrin:

Sen. Reid's cojones are made of Silly Putty.

Reid isn't a wuss. He's cautious, he's an insider, he's a centrist, and he cares more about preserving his majority than anything else. But he can play hardball when he has to, and Arlen spent the last week embarrassing Harry and the party. What did he expect?

I wouldn't complain too much if I were you, Arlen. That 2010 support is just as revocable as your seniority.

He is definitely confused. Rooting for Coleman? :wtf: But now who can win against Tom Ridge?

:dilemma:
