Specter the Defector
Being a Defector used to be a good thing, during the Cold War, whenever a person defected from the Evil Empire of Communism to the West. It's still a good thing now that Arlen Specter has defected from the Evil Empire of Republicans to that shining beacon of light called the Democrats -- especially since his new party is far closer to Specter's principles than his Grand Old Party is anymore.

Dude please take Specter. You can love his principles all you want. This is the kind of Senator you want. Now you have no opposition and are fillibuster proof. You guys own it. You have full responsibility for the country now. Don't blame Conservatives when you the country tanks.
I did totally blame Conservatives when the country tanked. It ain't tankin' no more -- not as long as Conservatives stay out of the kitchen.
As for Arlen Specter, we're happy to have him. We'll be happy to have Snowe, Collins and McCain, too. Let me know when the three of them see the light and are coming over.
The Republican Big Tent is starting to look more like a Pup Tent.
Arlen Specter, little fucken weasel. Here’s a guy who switched from Republican party, to Democratic party literally overnight. Why? Maybe because it’s what he believes in. NO! The only reason that Arlen Specter switched sides is because it would ensure his re-election. It was the only way that he could keep his seat in the Senate.
When regular people are hired to do a job, and they do a very poor job in representing their company, they get fired. In Washington they just switch parties. No boot necessary. When asked about this overnight switch, the little weasel said, and I quote "I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate.”
It’s kind of funny that he’s doing this when just last month (February of 09) he said that he wouldn’t leave the Republican Party because “Balance is important.” Well Arlen, you just gave the Democrats Majority in the Senate, so now they can do whatever the hell they want.
But Democrats are on board. (What a surprise, lol) President Obama said that he is proud of Specter, and happy to hear of the change. I’ll bet he is proud. Now any radical plan the Democrats come up with can be fast forwarded and passed with almost no “hick ups.”
“Anonymous” is right all the way. Arlen Specter belongs with the morally robbed Democrats who mistake self enlightenment with self serving. Most of the Democrats out there are perfect politicians in the fact that they say one thing, do the opposite, and all the other Democrats back them up to the ends of the earth.
Dear Jim:
I'm delighted to see you cheerfully joining with me in welcoming Senator Arlen Specter to the Democratic Party. Maybe it's not as big a deal as when Babe Ruth switched from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees. But it's still a pretty fine acquisition for the Dems. I'm glad to see you appreciate the significance of this trade.
