"We would have a balanced budget amendment today it it weren't for that evil old cook Arlen Specter who promised to support it then reneged on it at the last minute. His vote was needed to pass it."

Correct.

It came withing ONE VOTE of being passed by Congress and then moving on to the states for ratification.

But since Congress will ALWAYS hide on this issue I believe we need to BYPASS them and force the issue on our own.
