Specter: GOP Killed Jack Kemp - With Video
Sen. Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania Democrat, said part of the reason that he left the Republican Party last week was disillusionment with its health-care priorities, and suggested that had the Republicans taken a more moderate track, Jack Kemp may have won his battle with cancer.
Mr. Specter, responding to a question from CBS’ Bob Schieffer over whether he had let down Pennsylvanians who wanted a Republican to represent them, said he thought his priorities were more in line with those of the Democrats.
“Well, I was sorry to disappoint many people. Frankly, I was disappointed that the Republican Party didn’t want me as their candidate,” Mr. Specter said on “Face the Nation.” “But as a matter of principle, I’m becoming much more comfortable with the Democrats’ approach. And one of the items that I’m working on, Bob, is funding for medical research.”
Mr. Specter continued: “If we had pursued what President Nixon declared in 1970 as the war on cancer, we would have cured many strains. I think Jack Kemp would be alive today. And that research has saved or prolonged many lives, including mine.”
Mr. Kemp died Saturday of cancer. He had been the running mate of 1996 Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole.

WTF? Did specter’s cancer metastasize in his brain? That statement denies and confirms progress in the treatment of cancer.
Remember if they had not elected the evil republicans christopher reeves would be healed and walking among us today!
What an opportunist scum-fuck Specter is for even saying that. To make a statement like that, especially when Jack’s body was still warm, is just sickening. This man worships at the alter of himself.
Exactly.. Scum sucking maggot fuck head!!! When I read shit like this I just want to start throwing things… Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Like lead
And who the fuck is colorado prez?Somebody speak the fuck up or I am gone
Grizz, I don’t know what the holdup is in assigning a Colorado President and other state leadership, but then I haven’t asked that directly.
Pat has indicated that if you have ACTIVE business to discuss, and idea to submit, or frustration you would like to express and compare with Pat’s, HE is the person to contact in lieu of unassigned state leadership.
I did not know until a few days ago that Pat was welcoming direct contact to himself for those of us who do not yet have state/local organizations. Also, if you contact Pat and express the sort of frustration that I feel, be prepared to reap the whirlwind … ‘cuz Pat may simply bite your head off.
(generally, he indicates that we need to be a little patient; ACTIVE is still less than 2 months old, and the priority is to do the whole thing right.)
Oh well. At least we won’t have long to listen to this windbag.
From Jeb Bush, McCain, and other RINO SHIT this weekend at GOP “listening sessions”, I hope we can Kill Off GOP very soon.
CONSERVATIVES, PLEASE END ALL CONNECTIONS WITH REPUBLICANS, since they think we are the problem.
No, Joe Average, Republicans don’t think that conservatives are the problem.
Rush Limbaugh (to whom you obviously have been listening) needs to focus on Obama and the Democrats and cut the sniping at Republicans. A conservative message is certainly needed, but Rush is oversimplifying in suggesting that is all that is needed. Ronald Reagan did win handsomely in 1984, but he was also an incumbent President with peace and prosperity on his side. Bill Clinton had the same things going for him in 1996, and he won by a good margin without, of course, a conservative message. The point is that there are a lot of variables in any election. At present, we are dealing with media bias that is more extreme than ever before, a well financed Left, demographic changes unfavorable to Republicans and conservatives, an educational establishment that is looney Left and a public that either never learned or has forgoten that socialism does not work. A conservative message is one part but just one part of what is needed to win offices back from Democrats.
If the Republican Party goes under, you are going to see decades of Democrat rule and socialism well established in this country. You don’t win elections without political organization.
Is Spector is what you call a republican, you can have him. Rush IS right and us conservatives need to stand up and take our party back. Until we do, we won’t be able to fight the Obama machine (see ACORN).
In regards to Spectors comments about Jack Kemp - You truly are a democrat. Anyone who would make those insensative, insane, propaganistice remarks IS a dem. And by the way - FUCK YOU! Jack Kemp certainly would not have agreed with anything you stand for.
UNTIL THERE ARE NO MORE RINOs, THERE IS NO GOP.
Wake the fuck up.WE are old school.That means we are not repubs or demorats.WAKE THE FUCK UP.NOBODY REPRESENTS US.NOBODY.We are AMERICANS.Its time to BURN THIS SHIT DOWN.Decide where you stand, and FUCKING WILL YOUSELF to your beliefs
What’s next in the Democrats handbag of slime?
Pelosi and Reid make a joint statement. Republicans killed Jesus Christ! That’s right, if Republicans never existed Jesus Christ would never have been crucified. More at 11.
That’s the kind of political response I’d expect from your average brain dead democrat.
EXACTLY! Didn’t take him long to spew hate & demonize like a true democrat… although he does have a history of doing such things but not to this extent.
He’s not a rubber stamp for the demoncrats, my ass!
Please let this prick contract pancreatic cancer.
They most dangerous and deadly cancer we have in this country is our government.
It is killing America as we know it.
It is time to cut it out.
DTOM - Yup
Goes to show how much Specter knows about the nature of cancer(s). This guy has a tumor the size of a brain in his warped skull. Glad he’s gone.
Senator Specter,
If we had only declared war on cancer?
You mean like we won the war on poverty? Won the war on drugs? Please no more declared war on anything from you turds.
Please explain how a guy who lists his offical address a Harvey Cedars, NJ can represent Pennsylvania? Oh, you wife lists her address as Philly. So twist the law for your own gain again I see.
I can understand why someone would leave the GOP but you could have some gonads and been an Independent.
Your a living example of why we need term limits in this country.
Were it not for good people like all of you here (Thank you so very much Pat) I would probably right now believe that both my Country and my Party had left me in the dust. Thanks to the communication available and for good people like you all I still think we will weather this mess…as soon as we can lose the rest of the “Specters” out there.
specter needs to slip and fall into a bucket of aids
So he’s comfortable in bed with the Democrats? No surprise there. Where do ya think he’s been all these years?
