In reply to the discussion: Longtime GOP Senate moderate Arlen Specter dies [View all]guappo1
(53 posts)39. An American before being a Republican
His actions as a U.S. Senator proved with out question that he was a True American, he set aside party politic to do what he though was right for citizens of this country.
The country owes Senator Specter a great debt buy keeping Bork off the Supreme Court. He will be missed.
