Arlen Specter's appearance on Meet the Corporate Media Press today tells us all we need to know on why party-switchers suck. Arlen is about Arlen - plain and simple. If that scumbag's polling numbers were different, he'd still be a Republican today.
When are we going to learn? Specter today said flat out he will vote against the Employee Free Choice Act and that he won't be loyal (his words) when it comes to supporting Obama. Thanks Joe for brokering this great deal!
The problem with a party switcher is you never know if they are really for their previous party. With what Specter said today, it's pretty clear he's the Republicans' man in the Democratic Party.
One upside is this megalomaniac geezer is eighty, so the damage will be short lived.
