"Specter Gets Support for Health Reform"

[S_E_Fudd]

I think it highly unlikely that President Obama's going to say the public option's not viable. I think the president may say that he wants to know what congress thinks under our constitutional system and this member of congress, this united states senator is going to tell him emphatically that we need the public option.

1. Primaries are often a good thing.

2. He's lying through his teeth, but Specter is so bereft of integrity that he'd do or say

ANYTHING to get elected to The Senate again. :puke:

If it works, great. However, if the public option NEVER comes to a vote, I hope the good People of Pennsylvania elect Joe Sestak as their next Senator.

3. i think he's into health care reform because he is a cancer survivor, but seeing as it's arlen,

it could be lip service. he is a weaselly bastard

4. Has Sestak explained yet why he missed over 100 votes?

Haven't heard that yet, and Specter has been fairly helpful so far.

5. I wonder about those votes too - haven't seen an explanation. nt

6. I wonder about it to. Something about Sestak reminds me

of John Edwards. I don't know why.

7. He comes across as a little too eager to me - maybe that's like John Edwards. nt
