Spector will vote to doom Pennsylvania

**ALS** · August 21st, 2009, 07:47 AM

Sen. Arlen Spector (D-PA) said last week that he would vote for cloture on climate legislation, thereby allowing a bill to move to a simple majority vote for passage, according to Greenwire.

The odd thing, of course, is that there is no Senate bill yet.

If Spector’s cloture commitment represents his sentiments on the House-passed Waxman-Markey, woe is Pennsylvania.

The Heritage Foundation says that Pennsylavnia stands to lose an average of 46,762 jobs per year between 2012-2035 and Pennsylvania familes stand to lose and average of $4,888 per year during that period if the House-passed Waxman-Markey bill is enacted into law.

If there's anything Specter cares less about than his constuents I'm unaware of what it is.

Nothing Specter does surprises me any longer. He is consumed by his own ego... makes decisions based on what will get him media attention... I don't thnik he's representing anyone except himself.

Wait, is this the same Arlen specter who switched from Dem to Rep and back to Dem again all because he did'nt believe he could win a primary. Let's just say I'm not shocked by his lack of care for his constituents.
