I HAVE VOTED FOR A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT AND SENATE AND CONGRESS SINCE 1960. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR SPECTER AGAIN – HE HAS DISGRACED HIMSELF AND THE PARTY. I AM VERY VERY VERY ACTIVE IN THE VFW, AMERICAN LEGION, AND AMVETS – IT IS MY PERSONAL GOAL TO LET ‘ALL’ KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE SHOULD VOTE FOR SPECTER IN 2010. AFTER SERVING IN KOREA AND LOSING FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO PRESERVE OUR NATION AND IT’S BELIEFS…I AM CRUSHED THAT WE NOW LIVE IN A SOCIALIST COUNTRY….TOO SAD! WILLIAM WRIGHT, SPRINGFIELD, PA

I have alsways been a Rep. conservative voter, now sadly; I must become a lobbylst and watchdog. Spending bills are usually put forward when needed, be transparent, debated and voted. Now the Dems are telling all of us that they are in power, and we the voters and TAXPAYER’S have no voice, we are just chatters. By you voting No to this disgraceful, spending financed by our enemies, and paid for by great grandchildren not yet born, is a must. Your vote for me will show leadership and will force a stop to this rush to pass this bill and force an all-new bill or amendments reducing debt. Even half of the proposed spending is a disgrace; we need better from you our representavtive.

The proposed stimulus package causes me great concern. I feel like a “used car salesman” is trying to pass a lemon for a diamond. In your support of the current writing of this bill, I feel I can no longer support you Mr Specter. You not only loose my financal contribution, you will loose my vote. Your actions show great disregard for those of us who work hard and believe in the American dream. How disappointed I am in you, and in the fact that I have championed you for years.

“Of great importance is the fact that Senator Arlen Specter was UNAWARE of Bloomberg’s assessment of these provisions.”

Wow, Specter deserves to be voted out of office just for that. It angered me that he opted to vote for the pork bill and largely cost him my support, but this? Good God! I could at least have some respect for the man if he was voting for something he believed in, but clearly didn’t because he didn’t read it!

“There should be a way for the Nation as whole to impeach Senators and Representative who are willing to sign away our personal freedom in the name of bi-partisanship.”

Yeah. Sheesh, I seem to recall this guy throwing a major fit over the NSA wiretapping program once upon a time. Funny, apparently the rights of terrorist scumbags matter more to him than his fellow Americans.

That settles it. I wasn’t sure I could make this commitment, but unless the Democrats nominate someone really bad, I won’t be voting for Specter in the mid-terms. I shouldn’t have done it in 2004. For that matter, I hope he gets tossed out in a primary. Surely the GOP has a better candidate in my fair state waiting in the wings.

“Guess what? Eating sh*t is better than starving to death.”

Funny how experts like the Congressional Budget Office completely disagree with that assessment.

Arlen Specter is , has been, and will continue to be a left wing nutcase. Why the outrage at this scum bag now when he has always been a worthless piece of dung.

Senator Specter by his own admission, not reading the bill. has not honored his compact with the people of Pennsylvania.He should be stripped of any Committee assignments, no monies by the Republican Committee should be issued to his reelection and have him revoke his Republican Party membership.Dear Steve, in the pursuit of dialouge- tell me two things in this package you support and why,and two things you think are not needed.My children ,who will be impacted the most by this bill, are awaiting your resonse.

[...] what Sultan Barry and Prince Harry want, then that’s bipartisan. It doesn’t matter that one of them didn’t even know what was in the bill. It doesn’t matter that the other 37 republicans voted against it. It doesn’t matter [...]

It was obvious that the bama has not read the 600+ pages of the bill. Or maybe he is lying that there is no pork in the bill.

As for potty mouth Bravo and his comments: He should ask the bama for a car and a bathroom of his own. Republicans already have those things so we do not have to ask the bama for anything.

Bravo, Senator Specter. I am so very glad that I voted for you in 2004. Hey all you whining Republicans! Guess what? Eating sh*t is better than starving to death. I’m so glad that some elected officials get this.

I am a medical professional and have been for nearly two decades. I’ve worked all over this country – including Indian Reservations and some of the most remote medical facilities in the country. Our medical records have long since been stored electronically – all of them. Each and every one of you knows this, because you see the clerk type your information into the computer when you go into the hospital.

The only medical records that are not stored as a computerized copy are the chart copies of doctor’s notes (these are transcribed into the computer.) The reason these still exist is because they are required by law!
