Pro-Abortion Obama Pick Johnsen Gets 60th Vote From Specter
Washington, DC -- In a flip-flop that could provide her the 60th and final vote she needs to overcome a pro-life filibuster, pro-abortion Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter has changed his mind and decided to support Dawn Johnsen. She is the pro-abortion activist President Barack Obama nominated to a key Justice Department position.

well what a shocker, NOT
This being is such a weasel. I hope he has nightmares for the rest of his miserable life.
Snarlin’ Arlen is finished this year and he knows it.
Nothing Sphincter has done for a long time has surprised me.
My biggest grip with GWB was when he campaigned to save this idiot.
I remember the Republican Party assuring us Arlen was a solid member in good standing, and we were just causing trouble by supporting Toomey.
Huh.
I remember.
i wonder if there’s value in making it easier to un-seat/recall a politician...
maybe better than term-limits...make it easier to fire ‘em.
Well, we can’t bitch about him. He’s a Rat now.
Ole “marbles-in-the-mouth” screws the country again! Status quo!
May Almighty God do to him what he has done to these poor babies with that vote. What a sickening, conscience-less fill-in-the-blank!!
Once again. It is a long time protocol for the President to support the incumbent.
True, but when the incumbent is an incompetent nincompoop that has sold his own party out many times,
I believe an exception is warranted.
I see it as nothing more than a protection racket but no one wants to be the first to end the practice.
Short view is always protect what you have, even if they are borderline crazy.
The long view would be, “yea, but if I keep protecting these kinds of wishy-washy fools, pretty soon I'll have an entire team built of them.”
I'm afraid that the pounding we took and 2006 and 2008 was the bitter fruit of the short view. Taking the long view always produces near term pain, and long term gain.
The question is, do the Republicans have the backbone to suffer for long term gain, or will they just go with the easy way out (again)?
If we have the numbers for a majority then we keep that majority and find true patriots to mount primary challenges.
Luckily for us the tea parties and the town hall meetings helped force the lazy good for nothing repubs to pay attention to those of us outside the beltway.
It's an unfortunate characteristic of the American public to get all “up” on something, and then gradually lose interest. I feel like there is good awareness and momentum building right now, but when we really need it at its zenith is in November.
What's that line out of King Arthur, something like, “it's the bane of all humans that we forget.” In my lifetime I've seen the American public prove the truth of that line too many times.
With everything that's going on right now, I wish this was August.
