New Democrat Specter “Comes Out of Closet” to Fully Support Homosexual Agenda

(Harrisburg) While Senator Arlen Specter was a Republican he usually voted to promote everything homosexual – one of the reasons he was considered a RINO – Republican In Name Only. But last weekend’s Philly Pride Parade and Festival was the first time he had attended a homosexual event. The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide pro-family group, noted that this apparently is an effort to garner more of the homosexual vote in Specter’s 2010 re-election bid - more evidence that he is greatly concerned about the strength of his likely Republican opponent, former Congressman Pat Toomey.

“Republican Specter’s many votes promoting homosexuality was one of the reasons so many said it was hard to tell the Republicans from the Democrats. Unfortunately, he is not the only RINO in the party. Specter apparently is more comfortable as a Democrat and does not fear voter retaliation if he participates in a homosexual event,” Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA said.

Southeastern Pennsylvania with the anti-family, anti-Christian influence of Philadelphia spreading like a cancer does not represent the rest of the Commonwealth. Thus Senator Specter does not represent the vast majority of Pennsylvanians who opposes the validation of the homosexual lifestyle through the force of law. He best represents his hometown of Philadelphia.

Senator Specter’s support of the hate crime law and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act fit into the Democratic platform. His party switch places him in a party which better represents his political stands, but it does not change the fact that he does not represent the political stands of most Pennsylvanians.

As Specter continues to openly reveal his radical positions it will not bode well for his re-election in 2010.
