Shame on you for injecting commonsense into this arguement.
Arlen Sphincter is one of the worst Republicans ever, but now we have to deal with him. The saving grace is that the GOP took the senate handidly and Sphincter has to play ball to some degree in order to keep his power.
Remember Jim Jeffords? He predicted Bush would be a one term president.
Wake up KC. It seems that Arlen has the ball and all the other equipment.
You are right. What has Specter done yet without Republican approval except open his big mouth? Did you see the speech he gave when he took the chair? Man, he did not write that!!! I think he is under more than one thumb right now.
