I have told you before not to fuck with me and you never learn

In 1965, Specter ran for district attorney for the city of Philadelphia, on the Republican ticket as a registered Democrat. He handily beat incumbent James C. Crumlish, Jr., and subsequently changed his registration to Republican. Although a supporter of capital punishment, as prosecutor he questioned the fairness of the Pennsylvania death penalty statute in 1972.[17]


He was a political opportunist who switched parties because it was expedient. He s no more a republican than Bloomberg

Now absorb this beating and slink off
