Specter Calls Sestak A "Flagrant Hypocrite"

CNN:

Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter called his fellow Democrat, Rep. Joe Sestak, a "flagrant hypocrite" and accused his rival of registering as a Democrat "just in time to run for Congress."

Sestak has said that he will challenge Specter, who has the backing of President Obama and party leaders, for the Democratic Senate nomination next year. Specter, a longtime Republican, switched his party registration to Democrat this year.

This is why Arlen Specter is still a republican at heart and is not to be trusted:

a "flagrant hypocrite" and accused his rival of registering as a Democrat "just in time to run for Congress."

I cannot believe this DINO republican turncoat said that about another Democrat. The hypocrisy is all Arlen Specter's and just like a true republican he tries to turn the table on the Democrat. Way to go Arlen. I hope they vote your DINO butt into retirement.

Agreed! And....as a PA voter, I will do my part to keep Specter out of the Senate.

[TheIndependenceParty]

Same here! No Arlen!

Like any good Rushpublican, he's obviously projecting.

SPECTER just changed parties because he wouldn't win as a Rushpublican!

In a further development, Sestak called Specter a hypocrite for calling someone else a hypocrite while being a hypocrite himself. The spiral of self-referential hypocrisy turned in on itself, creating an infinitely dense singularity that threatens the very fabric of space-time.

I'm gonna have to go with the hypocrite.

As soon as the hypocrite launches his campaign I will send him $$$

I can't tell you what to do w/ your money... but please research Sestek's record before blindly donating to him. He's a pretty conservative dem and your money may be wasted on replacing one Blue Dog w/ another.

"My question to Arlen Specter is this: do you regret voting for George Bush and John McCain? Why should Democrats support someone like you who actively campaigned as recently as last year for politicians with values like George W. Bush?"

I'm liking Sesteck more & more - he may get my vote in PA

[PAposter]

This Pennsylvanian will not vote for Sestak...I agree with Specter, he is a fraud. He will be one more Blue Dog Democrat, and I've had it up to here with Blue Dogs. I have voted for Specter in general elections in the past, so that wouldn't be a stretch for me. However, I'm hoping another Democrat throw his/her hat in the ring...a true Democrat would hammer both of these shaky characters.

[Yurdelite]

A "true" Democrat would not vote for a republican especially a GW Bush supporter like Arlen Specter.

[PAposter]

Sure they would, if the they want what's best for their state.

[PATina]

Now that's real talk !!! I agree. I hope a more progressive candidate runs against them both. My biggest fear is that no one will step to the plate since the President has already pledged to campaign for Specter... but we will see !!

[OhComeOnNow]

Pot, meet Kettle.

[poco767c]

Fellow Democrat???

[YouDisgustMe]

[jetphixer]

[kappa08]

[LemonMeringue]

[Grunty1]

Agreed!
