With polls showing that challenger Pat Toomey holds a crushing lead in the Republican primary, Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter has chosen to defect from the Republican party and will seek reelection in 2010 as a Democrat. Rather than admit his lack of judgment in voting for the so-called "stimulus" bill, Senator Specter has taken his mandate from the people of Pennsylvania and transparently twisted it into a path for furthering his own political career. If Arlen Specter thought it necessary to convert to the Whatever-it-Takes Party to further his "career", I'm sure he would. Hoping for him to understand that the power he holds was given to him in good faith with the expectation that he would put the needs of Pennsylvania and the United States of America ahead of his own ambitions for power seems like a lost cause. Hopefully the good people of Pennsylvania will be able to recall Specter and give our nation a good example of what should happen to career politicians.
The sooner we give Congress term limits, a balanced budget requirement, and demand a flat tax, the sooner our country will be able to get back on the path to prosperity.
