Specter deserves to lose since he's been playing dirty LIKE a Republican

[zulchzulu]

I can't rattle off all the ridiculous nonsense that Specter has shot at Sestak with, but generally he has attacked his military record, how he made money, how he is against guns, how he's not a good American and so on.

You'd think a senior politician who has tried to be a moniker of reason would stay classy in a primary race. But he has shown he's as nasty as any real Republican is when they run for office.

Go for the cheap shot. Go for the jingoistic schtick. Go for questioning your opponent's patriotism, especially if he served in the military.

Good riddance, Arlen Specter. You have become a fly that is buzzing around our ear.

SWAT!

1. hey zulchzulu, good morning. Big day over in the Keystone State.

I'm hoping this evening we get word of a Sestak win.

I'm rooting for Joe.

:hi:

2. He IS a dirty Republican - he's got 40 years of votes to prove it. nt

3. I'll always remember Arlen Specter as a raging phony and paper tiger

I don't know how many times he would protest Bush policies and say he wasn't going to vote for them and then would smile and sign on with the rest of the Republicans.

It was like clockwork.

4. I completely agree that he has run this campaign like a Republican.

I didn't like it when Clinton did it in the primary and I don't like it now. The 'big shoes' should only come out in the GE. I honestly don't care for either of the candidates, but Specter hammering Sestak on gun control today got on my last nerve.

6. Agreed

Sestak is no angel by any level, but Specter pulling out the old, rusty, dusty, moldy "he's gonna take away yer gunz" claptrap merely puts him in the gutter.

May he lose closely and have to kick himself for the rest of his days.

5. He is a Republican and one of the toughest campaigners of a rough and classless lot

People think switching that letter by the name comes with some powerful magic but what you get is the exact same mofo.

[zulchzulu]

7. Done!

Arlen, if you had been a consistent politician, you might have won.

Best of luck in your sunset years.

8. Self-kick

I love that Specter lost....

LOST!!!!!!!!!
