The Republicans just can't catch a break, can they?

Well, conservatives managed to screw over the Republican party yet again. This is the second time in recent memory that a moderate Northeastern Republican switched sides. Part of the reason the Democrats have a majority in Congress right now is that they ran conservative Democrats in Republican areas. Meanwhile, the Republicans are managing to chase away the few moderate Republicans they actually have left. LOL

The Republican party has really become the ideological party in American politics. They're desperately trying to pretend it's still the 1980s, and meanwhile, the Democrats have become the party of everyone else; the moderates, the liberals, anyone 25 or younger, and anyone who's not white.

Specter switches to Democrat, 'at odds' with GOP

@NotHereForLong,
While i agree with some of the comments he has said regarding the current nature of the republican party. I can only view this as a sad attempt to maintain his position of power. He's getting his ass handed to him in his current in current primary reelection. He's looking to make a big stink to gain support.

And as a Democrat, they (the dems) won't run a candidate against him in the next midterm. This, given the current popularity of the GOP, is a huge bargaining chip.

However, so are Specter's committee seats and of course the chair in the Senate.

Too bad I didn't have an AM radio when this broke. I really wanted to hear Rush have a catastrophic heart attack on live airwaves.

@NotHereForLong,
Limbaugh had the appropriate response. Let them have him. Regardless of what his title has been, he's a liberal. He just didn't have the cahonas to fess up to it.

Do we care what Limbaugh says? He is the reason (if any) intellectuals are afraid of venturing into the republican camp. His polemical rants are ill-thought out and based on raw emotion rather than reason which is why he is basically yelling during his whole show.

That's how the Right works. No reason, just raw emotion. This is apparent in ANYTHING with a right-leaning slant.

And remember: These are the same people who will kill when the laws don't favor them.

Limbaugh rarely raises his voice.
Limbaugh is guilty of one thing. Being true to his beliefs. Not allowing popularity drive his agenda. Unlike the spineless republicans who will not stand tall against the left who consider the convenience of women over the life of the real victims of their irresponsible actions. And then actually consider the right to life for a man who disregards the right to life the victim of their murder or the right of a rape victim. Leftist convince themselves they are the compassionate ones are so full of crap it's almost comical.
Leftist, who think government has the answer to anything but provide nothing but theory as their proof are truly the joke.

Even I listen to Limbaugh and I hear him fly off the handle at times. And no, his rants are not grounded in fact, merely emotional rhetoric meant to keep the money flowing.

I doubt you've listened to Limbaugh and have developed your opinion on hearsay.
By the way, are you expressing a prejudiced opinion on fat people?
Not acceptable among liberals is it? You're supposed to be the good guys. Heh?

Know your enemy as you know yourself and you need not fear a hundred battles with them.

Well then, you know you have lied. Limbaugh does not yell.

Mark Levine on the other hand does. Often.
With good reason. He sees what the left wants and that they are achieving. It is upsetting to those who appreciate what capitalism has done for America.

But, the left now has it's chance to learn the lessons that world history should have already taught them about socialism. Unless of course you want to provide some shining examples of what it has to offer.

Unregulated "Captitalism" has got America and most of the world into the worst economic state since the great depression :lightbulb:

You apparently do not have a clue what hard times means as you sit at your computer and express disdain for a system that has every kid toting a cell phone and an I-pod when they actually get up from their X-boxes and PS-III's
to go outside.
But, let's assume you're right. What is socialism going to do for the common man? Going to make life better?
Do you mind presenting some examples of social success?
