No matter what we think of Specter and many DUers hate his guts - I think that it was really shitty not to preserve his seniority if one was promised him. And Reid does not deny that, he just weaseled to Blitzer that, um, a seniority is determined with a new Congress. So, first let's wait for 2010 and then will talk.
Nice way to stab someone in the back. Real men do this facing their targets.

9. I also think that President Obama should have butted out of this and should not...support Specter over other loyal Democrats in the 2010 election.
Pa Kettle's emerging from the White House to campaign for Specter.
Ha ha.
Shove that up your asses and smoke it, primitives. Life is great.

2. It's not shitty at all. It's payback.
Specter would have done it in a heartbeat. Any Republican would have similarly ****ed him over, then held a special reception honoring their evilness.
I'm not advocating being "just like them." I'm just saying, they wrote most of the rules of this game. **** 'em if they cry when forced to play by them.
It's duh, Pedro Picasso again, making up history.
When the Democrat U.S. Senator Richard Shelby switched parties, the Republicans let him keep his seniority.
But what are facts to the hapless Pedro Picasso?
