59 seats and counting...if Franken is seated, that makes a filibuster
proof Democratic majority in the Senate on many Democratic issues, and a
further decline for the crazy conservative Republicans.


The Dems can have Specter. He'll be a credit to the party, I am sure.
(barf)
He has only one thing and one person's interests in mind and to hell with
anyone else, Republican or Democrat. Good riddance.

Yes, and Boner, Cantor, McConnell and Gingrich are selfless.

They have nothing to do with it.
Anybody who is a fan of and follows the New England Patriots has no love for

The Patriots were good enough to win without cheating. If you want to
direct your anger towards someone, I think your man is Belichick.

Have you become sensitive to Republican senators passing judgement on
American's morals?

You don't want to go there. Specter's "morals" had nothing to do with
Belichick and everything to do with his relationship with cable companies
and who butters the bread.

Didn't ask you.

I got a kick out of something. Believe it or not, I am really not a
political hack and don't pay a lot of attention to the games that are played
or the backroom deals. But over the years a few politicians have imprinted
either a very positive or a very negative impression in my mind for one
reason or another. Not all Dems are negative and not all Republicans are
positive. But Specter has always impressed me as someone who takes care of
Specter, first and foremost, and he's reinforcing that image again.

Turns out, from listening to many of the comments coming from both sides of
the political spectrum, my impression is not a unique one. The Dems are
taking to him like a little kid used to take castor oil. Smells and
tastes like crap, but overall, it's good for you.

I guess.

Ah. now I see where the problem lies. ;-) Specter was never a favorite
of mine. IMO, he's always come across as a pompous, self-righteous ass,
but he is popular in Pennsylvania.

Specter didn't jump ship. He was driven out of the party. That there is
no room in the modern day Republican Party for a 5 time elected Senator
should be troubling for all Republicans. In a democracy, he who has the
most votes wins. You don't get the most votes by driving them into the
other parties hands.

I've been reading a little online about the feeding frenzy developing
around Lindsey Graham. Graham stated that the Republican Party should be
more open to moderate Republicans. He's now the target of some quite
vile characterizations. It's quite sad. Graham is quite a bit too
conservative for my tastes, but he is one of the more competent Senators
on that side of the aisle. I could see him making a strong run for the
Presidency. Unfortunately, I don't see the Republican Party surviving.
