WILL SENATOR SPECTER STAND UP FOR PENNSYLVANIA OR GROVEL BEFORE RUSH LIMBAUGH?
Which will it be Arlen?
Sure, Areln Specter likes to parade around as a moderate (even though he supported anti-choice zealots Roberts and Alito, even though he helped gut the 4th Amendment, even though he voted in favor of legalizing torture and repealing habeas corpus), but where does he really stand?
