Personally I take it as a fantastic sign! Those Trojan horses that infest the GOP will jump ship. Thats GREAT NEWS! We do not need their Dis-ease, quite the opposite, we need the dis-ease free, the ones who are principled on the conservative side, only then can we move forward as a healthy body. Specter leaving is more like the surgical removal of a cancerous tumor. Its best to get the treatment done with and go about living healthy afterwords!
YES! Just maybe this will be the time for CHANGE. Could not agree more in the hope that this causes an exodus of the RINOS.
Yes, but please remember that there are few principled politicians anywhere - much less the Republican party. Most are in the game for the power and money (regardless of what they profess). The fact that almost all are millionaires after the first couple years says something that can NOT be disputed. So...getting rid of a few RINOS will not change things... We have to either change the way Washington operates (through a Constitutional Convention) or through the State Legislature (slim chance - since they are corrupt also).
That leaves really only one choice... Convene a Constitutional Convention and remove their power (through money and/or power) or start a third party...and of course, a third party will eventually become just like those in power so it is an ongoing change requirement...
