Turncoat Unhappy With Other's Duplicitous Behavior

You just can't trust anybody.

After claiming in March of 2009 he "absolutely would not switch parties," Arlen Specter defected to the Democrat party the following month. Because, after all, it's not about being a Republican; it's about holding onto power. And saving your own skin. He later went on to give Obama the 60 votes necessary to pass Obamacare--against the wishes of the majority of voters.

Former Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) writes in a new book that President Obama ditched him in the 2010 election after he helped Obama win the biggest legislative victory of his term by passing healthcare reform.
Specter also claims that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not uphold his promise to grant him seniority accrued over 28 years of service in the Senate as a Republican.

Poor guy. They treated him like this, and he was such a nice man.

Rick Santorum just emailed to say, "That's right. Arlen Specter, he's a stand up guy."
