People in this country are amazingly unable to think for themselves. You guys right now are demonstrating how people merely jump on the partisan bandwagon.

Take spygate out of the equation and without doing some googling, tell me a couple of his policies that you disagree with now that he's a democrat in which you didn't disagree with a week ago.

These are the reasons few and few people respect the Republican party as a whole. This is also why so many reports of the Republicans needing to "change their image" have been coming out in past months.

I guess this week's Republican Kool-aid is Specter flavored. Enjoy.

Johnny, none of these posts mentioned anything about Spector's policies. It was a comment about how the Dems said one thing and did another (I can't believe politicians would lie). Spector is a joke because he decides which party he's going to be in based on what is best for his job prospects. He would have been voted out in the primary if he remained as a Republican. As a Democrat, he'll run unopposed in the primary. Then, with a voting base made up of mostly Democrats, he'll win the general election. Self preservation is his only concern, not his constituants.

I think this is funny because he he tried to play the system and he got played himself. It has nothing to do with which party he's affiliated with. In fact, good for the Dems for not letting him keep his seniority. They know why he did what he did.

Your post seems to be geared towards taking a cheap shot at Republicans. This is about Spector getting screwed by his own party and has nothing to do with Republicans.

This is mostly why. And because 9 out of 10 people on the right that I've talked to or listened to have acted similarly.

Good Riddance and have fun being the piss boy of the democrat party

And I still stand by everything I said. A friend of mine that is hard-core right *in philosophy* has been getting pissed because of how poorly the Republicans have been representing themselves.

Don't get me wrong, the Dems are not much different. However, they're playing the same "screw you and everything you want" attitude that the republicans are playing. I think they're being more low-key about it, keeping those actions in the Capital building, instead of appearing on every neutral or right-leaning news program to bitch.

It's fine to have an opinion and complain about bad policy. But lately, that's all I've heard from Republicans in Washington, complaints. On TV, Radio and print, it's been all the same. Maybe once in a while they should present a solution.
