Scary! Sen. Arlen Specter's endorsement Of Bruce Castor!

Arlen Specter, endorsement on June 11, 2007 of Bruce Castor and James R. Matthews Board of Commissioners, and Risa Vetri Ferman as Bruce Castor's replacement as DA is a disgrace to our Judicial System, and a slap in the face of the Constitutional and Bill of right that every citizen in this country has.

Arlen Specter is well aware of the illegal and unwarranted wiretapping and servileness that is going on in this county, of which my daughter are two of the targets. Specter is well aware that Bruce Castor as well as Risa Vetri Ferman, and Mike Marino have crossed the line into illegal behavior, obstruction of justice, perjury, and a host of other crimes against my daughter and myself.
they have shown themselves to be nothing but thugs and criminals.

Know for sure that when you see Specter chairing any investigation, concerning NSA, wiretapping and surveillance's, etc., it is a joke and nothing but a show for the public. Specter gave and interview on June 11, 2007 to the Philadelphia Bulletin, were he express his admiration for Bruce Castor (scary) He stated that Castor was "a young man whom I have watched over the years," he said the DA has "set the model in this state for being district attorney."

Arlen Specter has taken leave of his senses, and shown very bad judgement. He knows full well that what Bruce Castor is implementing here in this county is illegal. Please check out this site: <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://theanatomyofracism.com/">http://theanatomyofracism.com/</a>
then read the article below: This is very scary, and a disgrace to our country!
Arlen Specter is a perfect example of why we need term limits in our Senate and Congress. He is a disgrace and promoting prosecutable misconduct, etc. He has shown by his endorsment of Castor that he is without morals or ethics.

Below find a copy of that article, then check out: <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://theanatomyofracism.com">http://theanatomyofracism.com</a>

What is going on here in this county, makes Castor and Marino and Risa Vetri Ferman is a disgrace to our country, and constitute an egregious and unacceptable abuse of public trust and power. The American people rightfully expect the highest ethical standards from their elected leaders, Bruce Castor is a disgrace, and should have been disbarred years ago, along with Marino, and Risa Vetri Ferman!

The media is just covering up this matter, because of their involvement. I use to have respect for Specter, but it is a fact that he has as poor of judgement as the rest of this administration and believes in rewarding those who have no respect for the laws of this country! He too is a disgrace to this country!

Specter Jumps Behind Montco Republicans

Norristown - Sen. Arlen Specter joined Montgomery County's slate of Republican row office candidates to express hope that this Philadelphia-border county, staying Republican by decreasing margins in recent years, remains a GOP mainstay. The county, though overwhelmingly Republican in terms of voter registration, poses a difficulty to some local GOP campaigners. It's an area that never turned out a majority for President Bush and did not lend much support to Rick Santorum in his unsuccessful reelection effort last year.

But Specter remains exceedingly popular in this area and has conveyed much confidence in his Republican brethren who control all of its county departments. "I'm very grateful to the voters of this distinguished county for that support over the years," he said. "And the county has been Republican and has produced really outstanding public service to manage the affairs of the county. Strenuous efforts have been made to hold down the tax rate, to hold down spending and to have very, very strong law enforcement."
The senator attributed some of the successful containment of crime to Bruce Castor's service as district attorney. Calling Castor "a young man whom I have watched over the years," he said the DA has "set the model in this state for being district attorney."
Specter said Castor's work as top prosecutor indicates he will competently oversee all of the county's functions if elected to the Board of Commissioners. "Bruce has a tremendous background to take on the job of commissioner," the senator said. "He is really a straight-arrow [possessing] a lot of talent." Risa Vetri Ferman, Castor's second in command, is now vying for election to his job and the senator endorsed her bid, referring to her as a "terrific prosecutor and has had the background and the experience to do the job." He continued, "I'm sure she will carry on the tradition that DA Castor has established."

Specter also urged the reelection of James R. Matthews, the Board of Commissioners' present vice chairman. Democrats have set their sites on capturing a majority on the board and have nominated former congressman and erstwhile Commissioner Joseph M. Hoeffel to run with current Commissioner Ruth S. Damsker. "Regrettably, [Matthews] wasn't taken away from Norristown to Harrisburg in the last election," Specter said of Matthews' run for the lieutenant governorship under gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann. "As county commissioner, you've done superb work." Matthews said he and other Republicans he has served with on the Board of Commissioners would have had a more difficult job without "this icon of Pennsylvania politics there in Washington for us." Specter, he continued, "is ahead of the game as far as knowing our priorities and what we have wanted to achieve."

Matthews specifically cited Specter's support for extending Lafayette Street in Norristown to the turnpike, a project expected to bring new commercial vitality to Norristown. Specifically, the federal government has contributed funds for engineering studies associated with the project. "That is just one area where the senator has always been out in front for us," Matthews said. "There is no greater champion."
Matthews and Castor have contrasted their approach to the revitalization of Norristown in recent days with that of their opponents. They have said the Democrats' plan to hire a county grant writer to secure federal, state and private contributions to redevelopment efforts in Norristown and other densely populated communities is an unneeded expenditure. They also criticize Damsker and Hoeffel's plans to increase revitalization by $2.5 million annually as to costly to taxpayers. "They say they want to be accountable for their promises, but how do they account for all of this empty political rhetoric with no plan in place to pay for it?" Matthews said.

Castor has described the Democrats' plan as "completely unrealistic" and said, "Once again, either Hoeffel and Damsker are completely clueless or writing checks they will never be able to cash." Specter concluded his remarks by urging voters to keep Montgomery and other counties in the region Republican-run to provide balance to the power the Democrats exert in Philadelphia government. "Right now, if counties do not provide the balance for the Republican Party - candidly, to offset Philadelphia - that balance will not be present," Specter said. "The state has always relied on the four suburban counties to provide balance to Philadelphia to make it competitive. That's the tradition of this county."
