As an aside, I think the photo that comes attached to this headline is one of the most appropriate in FDL history. I can’t stop chuckling over it.

I wonder if Arlen got some kind of promise of full support from the DEM machine in 2010 if he switched?

I would just as soon support a strong progressive who supports Ameica’s working families as to cast a yes vote for Arlen. Let’s hope we get one in a primary. I’ll go for the lefty will a few of my hard earned dollars.

Arlen has changed his label, but that doesn’t mean he has changed his stripes. He is a self serving, self interested camera hog worried about his political future. Will his votes change? I doubt it.

Every so often I continue to get phone calls from the dem campaign committees requesting monies. For several years I have refused citing their support for non progressive candidates and non support for progressive candidates. This situation with demos in power promising all this support for this newest dino. This is garbage. The people need to be selecting their candidates not the Rahms and Reids.

Will the pen sheath the sword?
We are going to a place where we pay for:
anonymous killing machines killing
anonymous people in
anonymous places for the entertainment of some sickos.

Do I need to drone on about this????????

Or if not, how many wedding parties won’t be needing those reservations.

Like robspierre, I also remember Specter as DA in Philadelphia (and I think he ran for mayor at least once, but I digress).

As a former PA resident, now living in CT (land of the dopes who sent Lieberman back to the Senate, despite his loss in the Primary, and where one Governor and at least two mayors were/are serving jail time after being re-elected in landslides), I can only hope Specter will bow to the will of his electorate if defeated in the Democratic primary and just stop. No bogus parties after the loss. Just stop.

At the moment goopers would prefer purity to victory- a couple more toilet visits on election day will likely cure them. They are believing their own bullshit that they lost because they weren’t CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH…Funny as hell.
