Well, now that Specter has finally gone to the socialist camp, could we send Collins, Snowe, McCain (both John & Meghan), and Crist over there as well???

Good. That's just another rino democrat that needs to be unseated at the next election. Admitting it makes him a more visible target.

There are several that can just get out along with them. We really must have term limits and split up Washinton DC

Its not a sell out to declare a title to what you already are.
If he would just take McCain, Snowe and Collins with him.

The only question is: will he actually get his thirty pieces of silver? Will the Dems keep their promise not to contest him in the primary?

Specter is a senior with a palace office - does he get to keep it?

It's like excising a tumor.

Let the healing begin.

I think that this pretty much confirms the idiocy and demise of the Republican party at the national level. Their refusal to consider the liberal political views of candidates when they decide who to support in a primary has come home to roost.

Do you think it’s possible he’s doing this at the request of the GOP?

Specter boosted Obama’s ego even higher than it needs to be. Unfortunately, Obama’s grand plans need to come down a little closer to earth, but that’s not going to happen when he truly believes that a very strong majority of Americans support everything he does.

“That’s just another xxxx democrat that needs to be unseated at the next election. Admitting it makes him a more visible target.”

Toomey will have the luxury of avoiding having to go through a bloody primary — now he can hone his message for the PA electorate, because Pennsylvanians will vote... smartly... once.... they...

Oh, never mind.

Don’t know about that, because silver’s kind of expensive these days, but I hear tell he’ll get a nifty new squeaky toy and a shiny propeller hat.

Political chameleon changes his values on a political whim. Very similar to McCain.
