Scam artist

Sen. Arlen Specter's megalomaniacal push to be Senator-for-life from Pennsylvania has taken an ugly turn.

If last weekend's odious suggestion that Jack Kemp would still be alive if only Specter's former party had spent more on cancer research wasn't bad enough, it turns out that Specter is perpetrating a scam on people concerned about cancer with his Web site Specterforthecure.com.

To read the site, you'd have a hard time determining that contributions to SpecterForTheCure.com are not going to cancer research or even to lobby for more funding for cancer research -- but to re-elect Arlen Specter.

This is odious. Even for a man whose only principle is getting himself re-elected, this is a bridge too far.

The American Cancer Society should come out against Specter's site. Specter should be forced to transfer all funds gathered through the site to the American Cancer Society.

This is a scam.

And now it's the Democrats' problem.

  1. Living in PA I have seen Specter in action for many years. But this is really sleezy and he should be censored by the Senate and his website removed until he replaces it with something a bit more honest.
