He admitted that he switched parties because he would not win the GOP primary.  He voted against Obama's budget and has indicated that he would like Norm Coleman to win the MN Senate election.

Discuss.

Arlen Specter is a nutcase. He's whatever he thinks helps him. He is also likely going senile.

Calling him a DINO or a RINO doesn't matter at this stage. He's proven himself to be a total joke and all sides see that now.



Up until a few days ago, I had an old saying (in Italian) in my signature. It makes all the sense in the world now regarding Specter and the Dems - "Quando dio, ole castigarci ci manda, quello che
desideriamo."

"When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers."

RINO or DINO is a badge of honor and sacrifice.  We should get medals... or at least t-shirts.

he's EVERYTHING in name only.


I'd be defending him right now if he was simply a conservative Democrat, saying including him is necessary for the Democratic coalition.  I think the Democrats desperately need "DINOs" like Nelson.  He's clearly shown the Democratic caucus the finger, as they've just stripped him of his seniority.  I have yet to see how he's a Democrat, and it's been a number of days since his switch, he only seems to be becoming more and more staunchly Republican since switching.  I can't remember him opposing health care reform when he was a Republican, but now he opposes it as a Democrat?  Health care reform is the #1 item on Obama and Reid's agenda, what did he promise them, exactly?  He's pro-choice, but he still enjoys steering in Roe opponents through committees, so how does it matter again?  He ate at the Democratic table today for the first time in the cafeteria, but that's about it.


Joe, your statement about Coleman is outdated though, yo.

I don't mind him, except I wish he'd liberalize on social policy. Otherwise he's just another Big Government hypocrite.

No, I just noticed this thread.  I'm actually voting yes.  Arlen Specter is a member of the ASP (Arlen Specter Party).

You're doing it wrong.  This is a poll about Arlen Specter.  The options have to be "Guilty," "Not Guilty," and "Not Proven."

simple answer, Specter is Flip-Flopper for a living so no he's not a DINO, also Coleman is cool so yea , don't diss him.

 but seriously ,Specter isn't a DINO ,he's just a idiot who doesn't realize that flip-flopping on every damn issue every other week will not get him elected.

Specter is an octogenarian turncoat scum who should have retired from the Senate a decade ago when he still possessed a modicum of common sense.
