One more thing, Specter you asshole:

If you're "not defined by party," why not jump to independent? Why did you have to hand the 60th vote to the dims?

Well since Sphincter and presumably Smally have gone over, he does have a filibuster proof congress.  Universal Healthcare, here we come...buckle up and hold on....it's not gonna be pretty.

Well I would hope the GOP big wigs consider withdrawing their support for Spectre now, especially Cornyn

I'm just speculating, but hasn't Specter been a Republican for most of his public life?  I vaguely recall hearing that he may have been a Dem long ago, or maybe I'm confusing him with someone else.

Yes, it was him.  He started out as a Dem in PA....and has voted as one.  So he went back home....still, his timing couldn't have been worse.

On paper, yeah, but I think there just might be one or two Dems out there that don't conform to Obamabotism.

ETA: Um, maybe still two votes away from the Magic 60.

With Obama's Comfort Girls (Snowe and Collins) still in the Senate?  Obummer has his 60, fear not.  Or should I say, fear greatly.

Good, they can have him.  He is an embarrassment to the people in PA with an IQ higher than 42.  I hope he gets seriously trounced in the next election.  I would freaking vote for my dog over that bum anyday.

Unfortunately, the people in PA (I'm a resident) are morons. Look at some of the comments here.

With Murtha's continual reelection, time after time after time, dunno about that. Kinda wondering if there is any semblance of sanity in the Keystone State anymore.

A man can dream, can't he?  One positive thing is that in switching parties, it means the Dems have to kick their own former heir apparent to the curb to run Specter, which could (hopefully) blow up on the little ass-biters (Including Arlen) in the primaries and possibly carry over bad blood to the general election.

On that basis, then yes, agreed.

Certainly! And I hope the whole thing does blow up in their faces. But with backroom deals between Specter/Reid going on and the promise of the full weight of the Dem party and the love fest still celebrated by the MSM, I ain't holding my breath.

Any rumor of Santorum getting back into the fray?  :naughty:

Wow. I thought he was going to start voting with the Republicans all of a sudden.

Now THAT actually would have been news.  This....this is just making what he already was official.  Seriously, did no one see this was going to happen?  He has been licking Obama's back side ever since he slithered into the WH.

I agree with the earlier post, take Snowe and Collins with you and we will even throw a party for you!
