I do wish Arlen and all the Republican Senators would develop a spine. Arlen the RINO is a big disappointment.

I don't know about this rag or this alleged journalist, Michael McGough, but he couldn't get more facts wrong unless he made them up as he typed from a beach in Bermuda.
hmmmmm.... maybe he did just that.

In fairness to Spector, you could just as easily take his comments as an appeal to Dems to not listen to their leadership, and to stop all the filibusters.

I honestly mean no ill will of any kind by this question, I am just curious.
What happened to Arlen's hair? Is he going through chemo for cancer, or it is just old age? I remember just a few months ago it looked so different.

Arlen, how about telling the senators to follow the wants of the majority of their constituents.... Isn't that their job?I thought we called that 'governing by the polls'. You know, wet your finger, stick it in the air to see which way the wind is blowing, and vote accordingly.

going through chemo for cancer. it was announced a few months ago.
To: Crackingham
How many Democrats will follow their consciouses?
None. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
Spector knows this.
To: XJarhead
In fairness to Spector, you could just as easily take his comments as an appeal to Dems to not listen to their leadership, and to stop all the filibusters. Your comments reflect the reality. He is warning the Dems to stand down and allow a vote in the interests of national unity.

He's not a disappointment to me... I knew he was a P.O.S. when he got the job.

Arlen has Hodgkins, IIRC, and is undergoing chemotherapy.
The good news in this article is that the GOP may actually force the issue of using cloture to avoid the Senate DUTY of voting on a nominee.
