Who Thinks Democrats Are Going To Vote For Arlen Specter?

 [poll id=”144″]

So Arlen Specter says he is going to come out AGAINST card-check, it doesnt secure his right flank, and THEN he switches to become a DEMOCRAT. Yes, this is going to give the Democrats a filibuster proof majority. Hoopla. They had it anyway. Can you say “State of Maine???” They dont gain anything. The GOP, however, gains momentously. One of the principal complaints of independents and moderates is that there isn’t any difference between the parties. Sadly, that has too much of the truth in it. Today, though, that is significantly less true.

Specter is one of those Republicans who raises your taxes, cowtows to Union thugs, allows more and more of your life to be regulated and treats the earnings of your blood, sweat and tears like the government has first dibs. Well, all you who say the Republicans claim to be for less government but act like part of the problem now have less to mouth about.

THIS is what you should be celebrating. But my guess is that many of you look at politics as nothing more than a NASCAR race. Just waiting for someone to crash and cheering when they do. And you can try and say the GOP “crashed” today, but it just aint so.
