Specter finally shows his true colors

Well the other shoe has finally dropped: Arlen Specter has switched to the Democrat party. Republicans have known for years that Specter was a Republican-In-Name-Only (RINO). But today he made his party affiliation official.

Now Dems will say that this shows that the Republican party has lost its way or that it has become too extremist. But we conservatives know that this is a tired, old, pathetic Democrat in Republican clothing that has finally pulled the costume off. He was already in a battle for his Senate seat and he had no support from true Republicans. And since he was officially in the minority party he was no longer in charge of the Senate judiciary committee. We saw after 2006 how many Republicans "retired" because they no longer were the party in power.

Some Republicans may be scared that the Dems may now have the 60 vote majority that they had long sought. But they already had that since Specter usually voted with them. Now we can dispense with the whole idea of an incumbent Republican in Pennsylvania which usually holds a lot of weight in the primaries. Now Pennsylvanian voters can vote for a true Republican and we can start bringing this country back from the brink. Or better yet, vote Libertarian.
