“[Sen. Arlen] Specter switches to Democrat. Given how miserably he was doing in primary-polling against Pat Toomey, this is no surprise. Of course, this gives Obama a filibuster-proof majority.”
Only until the 2010 elections. But by then it may be too late.
Looking at this from the most strictly idealistic viewpoint, it's nice that a man whose party loyalty depends strictly on polls is now officially a Democrat. Enjoy your pointlessly last years, ya old coot!
ReplyDeleteMore practically... if he didn't understand the need to Filibuster the stimulus, is this a man who can be trusted on any serious issue, ever? I think he’s pro-abortion, so he doesn’t even have the one moral issue almost all Conservatives agree about to fall back on.
The fact that we're excited that he at least understands the purpose of a secret ballot is more the sad state of America’s delusions of utopia than anything else, m’thinks.
...Awesome post on Swine Flu, by the by. Just couldn't think of anything comment worthy.
