While all we Freepers celebrate the last of snarlin’ Arlen, I think this might be a false, empty celebration and a bit premature...
Sestak is certifiable but he is an unrepentent lib who has no problem bending the truth for his own benefit...he makes Schumer look lucid...and with the union goons, Obamanator, Soros, ad nauseum, we might have a huge nightmare in the Senate for six very long years...I trust the voters of PA to screw us all happily...look at PA-12...BOHICA, folks....
It isn’t premature.
Specter’s day of reckoning has been coming for decades. Whatever happens this November at least he will no longer be appeased by the Republican establishment. I consider it a victory.
Of course I want Toomey to win. But it’s PA and I dont trust those people. I learned awhile ago not to trust “blue” state voters. I didn’t trust NJ or MASS until it really happened. Especially NJ as they were flirts several election cycles. It’s the same reason I was not overly invested in Murtha’s district. We went down this road twice before. I don’t expect those people to be anything but dedicated Democrat’s.
So I’m happy we removed Specter win or lose this fall. At very least his fall should serve to make others Republicans leery. Switching parties didn’t save his entrenched hide and betraying conservatives one too many time’s made it impossible to win the Republican primary. The other Republicans should consider carefully from now on whether the issue they break from the base is really worth it. As there comes a point when you’ve betrayed your base one too many times.
