maryluv09266301: There is no higher value in our society than integrity.,Arlen Specter,Integrity, Value, Higher ,

Sailing_fool: When you think Arlen Specter was some great victory of “enlightened republicans coming to their senses” and switch parties… only to ignore how he basically got everything in his career stripped of him in a heartbeat and shoved in some dark corner of congress for his reward.

wberhanu33: The late Ethiopian prime minister, Meles Zenawi, once called the war on terror ‘something of a godsend’ in a conversation with Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter. No wonder, then, that Ethiopia was one of the countries that supported the invasion of Iraq 20 years ago this week.

4st8: The GOP was competitive in Philly throughout the 1970s. In the 1978 Gov election GOP nominee Dick Thornburgh held Dem Pete Flaherty to a slim 4% win and in 1980 Arlen Specter carried the city by over 100k votes.

RepRenaissance: If I had patience, I'd make that Mr. Incredible meme with Arlen Specter, Pat Toomey, and then Doug Mastriano. The only thing I have to say to the PAGOP, who were formerly so strong, is vae victus.

brix_rosa: What would happen if I were to help a couple of seats in the House and Senate switch to Republican? I'm not talking about voting them out either. I'm talking vice versa Arlen Specter style. Break their corrupt democratic chains.

JustTheFacts0: "Other SVB lobbyists worked for political figures cutting across both parties including President Bill Clinton, former Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wy., former Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., former Sen. Arlen Specter D/R-Pa., and former Rep. Jay Inslee, now governor"

CreoIeBabyBritt: I wonder what Pharrell has with Arlen Specter

Dan_Webz: All jokes aside, Ben holds a degree in Political Science from Stanford University and interned for Arlen Specter. So while you could condemn him as an actor moving into politics, he actually has a background and knowledge that would make him a good choice.

amandacarpenter: He interned for Arlen Specter in 2003? Huh

QRob31B: “Savage studied political science at Stanford University. While he was a student, he interned for former U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter.” 'Boy Meets World' star Ben Savage files to run for Congress, potentially filling Rep. Adam Schiff's seat

ryanjfrederick: Ben Savage interned for Arlen Specter while he was a U.S. Senator and graduated from Stanford University with a degree in political science. He’s more than qualified to run for political office.

SuaSponteSteve: His degree from Stanford University is in Political Science and he interned for Republican Senator Arlen Specter. Also, Boy Meets World was awesome.

xenocryptsite: Somehow Arlen Specter started out as a Democrat and was a Republican by around this point, but he made it work out for himself I suppose.

OctoberFerguson: Handheld phones with video joined to media sites have given us access to the 99.68% of the time when people are doing stupid shit. Arlen Specter once said murder rates were down, but the reporting of murders was up 400%, giving people an askew sense if reality.

TheRoot57252511: The year is 2010 and you are a Dem primary voter in PA. Do you vote for longtime Republican Senator Arlen Specter who switched parties the year before or upstart maverick Joe Sestak?

ByJohnLMicek: I am reminded this morning that the late Arlen Specter was once praised for using his own fight with cancer to champion research and funding. There seems scant difference now.

FrankSowa1: Get well. Be safe. I commend you for persevering like your predecessor Arlen Specter did! YOU ROCK FETTERMAN!! I support you all the way.

BigDominus: Never go Full Arlen Specter.......

brianros1: There is some good stuff in here. But the PA entry is a good example of why data really can't tell the whole story. Republicans have shown 0 capacity to nominate the sort of moderate who can win in PA since they drove Arlen Specter out of the party.

gmzisanasshoe: War Boys..get that Straight...looks like some folks are trying to make that connection..Mr. Byrne...just trying to round up Extremists...for the Feds...with his Letter from The Ghost of Arlen Specter..please..some folks know you plans..so...

BrianforYeshua: Arlen Specter for Senator. He's not for sale. He never was. He never will be.

Junicisoph: I hope they all did. Maybe the old turtle could do himself and the country a redeeming favor by pulling an Arlen Specter and becoming a Democrat. Or simply getting his crew to vote with Dems in is final trip before he leaves this world.

TerribleTed45: Just like that other guy who kept switching parties. The late Arlen Specter. 'My party leadership has left me': Trump-backed too old NJ State Senator Sam Johnson (age 87) leaves GOP to join Dems. The guy's so old he should be in the La Brea tar pits along with the other dinosaurs

mendhamsliver: Actual Arlen Specter moment

ActorAaronBooth: What in the Arlen Specter is happening in NJ?

lxeagle17: This didn't use to be the case. In 2004, Arlen Specter was primaried by Pat Toomey. Specter had weaknesses on the right, but he won by a whisker — he and the PA GOP establishment (Santorum etc) hit Toomey on the "he is too extreme to win a general election!" angle.
