Arlen Specter: Mitt Romney changes positions more than a porn star

Arlen Specter: Mitt Romney changes positions more than a porn star

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/28/arlen-specter-mitt-romney-changes-positions-more-than-a-porn-star/

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter (D) on Wednesday compared Mitt Romney to an actress in pornographic films because he had shifted position so often throughout his political career.

“The Republican Party has moved so far to the right, you can’t recognize Mitt Romney,” Specter told MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski. “What Mitt Romney will appear in October?”

“Mitt Romney has changed positions more often than a pornographic movie queen,” he added.


Specter, who before he switched parties in 2009 had supported Rick Santorum’s Senate bid, also believes that also believes that his former colleague and current presidential candidate is now too extreme.

“If you think women have no place in the workforce, if you’re against contraception, if you think John Kennedy’s speech in Houston separating church and state was wrong, you are too far out of the mainstream to be president,” he explained.



I it!!!

Say what you will about Arlen Specter - he was one of the few republicans that was tolerable and ultimately he did switch parties! Plus he was an Eagles fan - can't complain about anyone who is a big fan of the Philadelphia Eagles!

but I'm willing to put them aside long enough to applaud his spot-on characterization of RawMoney.
