Specter To Become A Democrat (Officially)
Some in the Republican Party are happy about this. I am not. Let’s be honest-Senator Specter didn’t leave the GOP based on principles of any kind. He left to further his personal political interests because he knew that he was going to lose a Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record. Republicans look forward to beating Sen. Specter in 2010, assuming the Democrats don’t do it first.

This is actually a very good thing. The Democrats already have a 62-seat majority. They have had it since last November. Some of the more delusional jackasses out there have been in denial about this, but hopefully this will slap them in the face with a little reality.
It's not about the brand. It's about philosophy and character. The sooner the dipshit wing of the Republican Party figures this out, the sooner they'll find their way out of this mess.
By switching brands, Specter actually makes himself easier to un-elect, because the fucktards who vote for any piece of shit with an (R) after their name will now scratch their inbred heads, look quizzically at their ballot, and then vote for somebody else.

Specter staying on Republican ticket By Thomas Fitzgerald
Inquirer Staff Writer
Sen. Arlen Specter yesterday tried to snuff speculation that he waspreparing to bolt the Republican Party in the face of a conservativeuprising that threatens his bid for a sixth term. "To eliminate any doubt, I am a Republican, and I am running forreelection in 2010 as a Republican on the Republican ticket," Spectersaid in a statement released by his campaign manager.
Posted by: Spade at April 28, 2009 11:24 AM (7WUru)
My change in party affiliation does not mean that I will be a party-line voter any more for the Democrats that I have been for the Republicans. Unlike Senator Jeffords' switch which changed party control, I will not be an automatic 60th vote for cloture. For example, my position on Employees Free Choice (Card Check) will not change.
He will be a powerful guy if he wins.
Posted by: CJ at April 28, 2009 11:24 AM (9KqcB)
Key quote from Specter this morning:
"Since my election in 1980, as part of the Reagan Big Tent, the Republican Party has moved far to the right."
What exactly is this man talking about? Ronald Reagan was pro-life, anti-big government, pro 2nd Amendment, etc. This universally propogated narrative that the GOP was soooo moderate thirty years ago, and is sooooo right wing now is a bunch of horseshit. It isn't backed up by reality. You need only look at the Bush years of out of control spending and entitlement growth to realize that.

It's a start to cleansing the filth that has plagued the GOP for years.
I know, I know, that makes it an overwhelmingly clear majority for the Democrats. So be it. Let THEM solely own their destructive ideals.
Of course, most of the voting population is so ignorant they won't even notice what's been taken away from them. Unfortunately, it appears that most people will be perfectly comfortable with a socialist state, and thus, never care.

Frankly, I don't know why an 80-year-old cancer patient is so desperate to stay in the Senate but it's pretty clear that the Dems are giving him a clear path in the primary.
Well, at least the DNC will. After the initial euphoria, the moonbats will smell blood and might try to run a Ned Lamont type against Specter. They've spent a long time hating him too. Why not, if a D is such a sure thing in PA?
Unlike in the case of CT, Toomey can win a 3-way race.

Specter won't have a "real" challenger in the Dem primary, that was most likely part of the deal.
Also, he'll win reelection. After all, he'll have ACORN casting fraudulent ballots for him in the general election.

I'll bet they are salivating at not having to face Specter in the general election and are rethinking a Senate run right now. Any decent Democrat can beat Specter in the primaries.
I wonder if Specter will ultimately say "Fuck it" and run as an Independent if the Dems let him know he won't win. Or, he waits until he loses the Dem primary and runs as an Ind.
With an R and D splitting the vote, an incumbent Independent would have a shot.

[Democrats] are trying very hard for the 60th vote. Got to give them credit for trying. But the answer is no.
I'm not going to discuss private talks I had with other people who may or may not be considered influential. But since those three people are in the public domain, I think it is appropriative to respond to those questions.
I am staying a Republican because I think I have an important role, a more important role, to play there. The United States very desperately needs a two-party system. That's the basis of politics in America. I'm afraid we are becoming a one-party system, with Republicans becoming just a regional party with so little representation of the northeast or in the middle atlantic. I think as a governmental matter, it is very important to have a check and balance. That's a very important principle in the operation of our government. In the constitution on Separation of powers.
Now, eh not so much.

Conservatives and conservatism is incapable of "drifting rightward". It implies change in principles, and that is not even a part of what "conservative" means, for crying out loud.
Leftism, "progressivism", neo-socialism, et al, are defined by change. What is acceptable and even laudable one year is planned and expected to be "too right-wing" just seven to ten years later.
Fascism, the left's favorite cuss word, is just another species of leftism. It's Mensheviks versus Bolsheviks - both are groups of fuckheaded tyrannical douchebags, but one is seen as more "right wing" than the other.
They're all enemies of Liberty. And all of them; fascist, communist, socialist, progressive; all of the are left wingers.
To the right of the Republican party is the domain of the people who want zero federal government, or even a return to the Articles of Confederation. Beyond those fringers are the extreme libertarian anarchists. We don't have anything to do with any fucking fascists. Every single fascist is a fucking leftist. They're just open with their sado-masochistic fashion sense.
Specter is just a leftwing fuckjob trying as always to smear good Americans who have more guts and principles than he ever will have. Good riddance to bad rancid sewage packed in a wrinkly skin.

There might have been a conversation and I'm sure the word "rathole" came up. I think the RNC was willing to support Specter, but not open their coffers for him for a primary challenge.
I'm sure Specter didn't bother much with the RNC. Toomey would have won the primary without spending a dime.

This is the best, most telling, part:

Translation: My political career will last longer if I switch parties.

Uh, sorry, no, Arlen, that's not at all what's happened to The Big Tent of Republicanism. We on the right haven't changed: we still believe in limited government, low taxes, a strong national defense and individual freedoms. We have, however, watched as the Dems have sailed over the horizon toward every failed fairyland leftist idea imaginable.
For example...
9-11 Troofers are primarily Dems.
Abortion supporters are primarily Dems.
Global warmists are primarily Dems.
Kenesians are primarily Dems.
Universal Healthcare is a Dem creation.
I could go on, but you get the gist of my argument. Democrats live in some sort of dreamland of the mind, and as that sort of non-thinking proliferates, the number of absurd ideas grows with it.
So, no, Arlen, what has changed has been the IQ's of those on the left. They've all gone way down in the last 20 years.

The RNC leadership is pretty inept right now. But there isn't anything anyone in either party can do to eliminate primary challenges. They can back a certain person but that's it. The RNC couldn't stop Toomey, other than with threats, any more than the Dems will be able to stop a challenge to him in their primary. Cronyn's remarks make it pretty clear Spector was going to receive all the support the RNC can give. The problem was that support is worthless right now.
Spector didn't switch due to a lack of party support but because the Dems have no breakout candidates.
And there will be one. There is blood in the water, the sharks will come.

Yup, and Specter was really the roadblock to that, requiring token concessions for his vote and all, and putting the "Bipartisan" seal of approval on 95% of the leftist agenda. We are SOOOOOOO worse off now that the American people can see we have principals which don't include mortgaging our kids' kids' kids. We were much more inspiring when we caved to stuff that went solidly against our stated principals for government. I mean why wouldn't you vote for that party? Short run loss.

One thing about Toomey....*
He ran for the US House in 1998 as a pro-choice "moderate." Shifted right when -- because he took a term limit pledge of 6 years -- he realized the only race left was vs. Specter in 2004.
He's done all the right things since....but just giving some history.
*Yeah, I campaigned for Toomey's main primary opponent in 1998 (the favorite) and remain a tiny bit disappointed in the outcome.
Posted by: CJ at April 28, 2009 12:20 PM (9KqcB)
Lieberman pissed off his party's base and lost the primary, then won re-election anyway as an independent.
Specter saw that he was very likely going to lost his primary for pissing off his party's base, so--instead of running as an independent, which might have been too risky for him--he switched parties before the primary.
Not much difference.
Note also that by jumping to the new minority party, Specter has a shot at a powerful committee chairmanship--probably guaranteed as part of whatever sweetheart deal the Dems offered him.
Don't get me wrong here; I think Lieberman was unjustly driven out of his party and Specter well deserved a primary ass-kicking. But he may have outsmarted us here. Damn it.

Some in the Republican Party are happy about this. I am not. Let’s be honest-Senator Specter didn’t leave the GOP based on principles of any kind. He left to further his personal political interests because he knew that he was going to lose a Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record. Republicans look forward to beating Sen. Specter in 2010, assuming the Democrats don’t do it first.

Mark this day: April 28th, 2009.
This day is the day that the turnaround truly begins. Specter no longer feels comfortable as an R. Democrats have 60, so no excuses. 2010 will arrive soon enough.
Go read the posts that Insty has up today. More than a few links to posts about a lack of connection between the base and the GOP leadership. Everybody who is paying attention is noticing this.
Notice that back at the Tea Parties, there was almost a sense of relief that "Thank God there are no prominent Republican office holders trying to shoehorn in on this."
Do you believe that conservative ideas are best? Do you believe that two years of liberal rule will either perpetuate this recession, or at least dull what would have been a much more resilient economic recovery?
Then this is all good. Any gardner knows that if you want a healthy tree to grow as you want it, you have to prune back some of he branches.

Article in the examiner in Feb. Priceless on Specter. If he could make up the magic bullet theory in regards to the JFK assassination then....
If Specter can make that up, and it still holds as the “true” cause of President Kennedy’s death, I think Senator Specter will find a way of holding on to his Senate seat.

If any GOP contributor knew that her/his dollars might wind up in Specter's fund, they wouldn't give.
This will allow the conservative brand to strengthen - especially if Toomey can pull off the win in 2010. After all, Santorum won in PA. The state can't be as liberal as California.

If the Republicans actually cared about "filibuster proof" or anything else, they would have found a way to get to the polls and voted last november.
Every special election since proves that they still don't care.
Posted by: Larry Sheldon at April 28, 2009 01:04 PM (OmeRL)
Heh.
The fact that you are virtually unopposed means several things.
1. You will get to implement every part of that radical agenda you have been dreaming of.
2. As a result of your unfettered power, America will more quickly cool to your socialist ambitions, and start the swing back sooner. Retaking seats in 2010 with real conservatives is not as far fetched as it was.
3. As stimulus proved you already had a filibuster proof senate. Now your agenda will not have any "bipartisanship" to it.
4. So go ahead, ratchet the top marginal rate back to 75%. Hand out more entitlements. Tax and spend like it's 1977. We'll be in touch in 1980.
The best argument for conservatism, is the real world results of liberalism.
Don't let that slow you down though. I'm sure YOU can do it better than everyone else in human history who has tried it.

Seriously, what the hell would be the point of keeping a guy who claims to be on your side while doing everything the other side would want him to do? Is it because it helped prevent the election of someone who would actually be on our side?
I mean yes it's certainly great to keep your enemies close and your friends completely out of politics while losing issues, and hemorrhaging voter confidence... but just for a moment; consider an alternative.
If the Republican brand is ever going to be "Fiscal Conservative" again, you do realize that Republicans who rail and vote against Fiscal Conservatism are sort of a bad thing damaging the brand, yes?
So, is having a brand that has credibility on fiscal issues and spending worth having, or would you rather have Collins, Snowe, and Specter? You can't keep both.
Oh who am I kidding, obviously you're right. What we need are non-Republicans with the (R) after their name passing Democrat legislation and pissing on any respectability the party might have. Only by accepting those who will destroy us from the inside and drive away the base can we "win"... I mean it's worked great so far.
Well sure it looks bad now, but once we spend our way out of debt you'll see how we can lie, cheat, and steal our way to respectable credibility. Just you wait and see.
Seriously, to those mourning the loss of Specter, is this the plan; or is it something even more fucking stupid?

Here's my favorite quote:
"Since my election in 1980, as part of the Reagan Big Tent, the Republican Party has moved far to the right," Specter said in a statement posted by his office on PoliticsPA.com.
Yeah, it wasn't so far right in the last 8 years that he needed to leave. No, it's it's present state, namely Obama being President and his re-election bid sucking, that made the party too far right for him.
Whatever.

Here are the glorious results of the "big tent." The dullards spend a fortune to elect a comrade while they deny a conservative a chance to run. The GOP needs to make sure it runs more RINOs and hires more Frums and McCains to insure they depart the path that Reagan developed to be edgy and modern.
They ought to recruit Perez Hilton and Joyce Behar to be with it. Under no circumstances should they actually stand on principle or defend freedom.

I used to follow George Will's proscription against term limits. Agreeing that term limits come at the ballot box.
Now that I've grown up I see that the power, resources and the abuse of power that comes with and from incumbency is overwhelming and unfair.
It changes and controls the system. Career politicians end up serving mainly themselves and their benefactors, not their constituents (I should know, Chris Dodd is one of my senators and the other one is kind of an independent, like Specter).
If term limits are good for the president and the mayor of New York (kind of), then they're good for all levels and branches of government, with the possible exception of the judiciary. Our governments will not collapse without these hacks, and in fact it may actually help government serve the people rather than the other way around. I'm willing to try.

From National review:
Between serving on the Warren Commission and becoming a senator, Specter was twice elected district attorney in Philadelphia, where he earned a tough-on-crime reputation. His most famous case, however, came in 1979, when he was in private practice and thinking about running for the Senate. A man named Ira Einhorn, better known as the "Unicorn," had been arrested for the murder of his girlfriend; she had been missing for a year and a half when police found her mummified corpse squeezed into a trunk hidden in Einhorn's closet.
Einhorn was a celebrated leftist and is credited with helping found Earth Day. He also had strong ties to Philadelphia elites — a group of people Specter was cultivating for his prospective Senate campaign when he agreed to become Einhorn's lawyer.
At an arraignment, the government demanded a $100,000 bail for Einhorn. Before Judge William Marutani, Specter called this "excessively excessive" and insisted on a reduced figure. Marutani wondered if Einhorn might "split for parts unknown." He mentioned Norway as a possible destination. "I have to disagree with your last statement," replied Specter. "Anybody is as likely to go to Norway as anybody else." Through the future senator's efforts, Einhorn's bail was dropped to $40,000. The accused man only had to put out ten percent of it in cash to secure his release.
As things turned out, Specter was proven correct: Einhorn didn't flee for Norway. He went to Sweden instead, slipping out of the United States shortly before his murder trial was scheduled to begin. Einhorn remained a fugitive until 1997, when police found him living in France under a phony name with his Swedish wife. He was eventually extradited to the United States. In 2002, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Specter, who quit the case soon after the bail hearing and rarely has spoken about it since, says he has no regrets about representing Einhorn or demanding the reduced bail. "If I had been D.A., I would have had him detained — there would have been no bail at all," he told me in an interview last year.
But by 1979, the tough-on-crime prosecutor had become a tough-on-prosecutor criminal defender. Perhaps he was just doing his job. It must be remembered, however, that his job, for which he volunteered possibly to curry favor with potential political supporters, involved reducing bail for a murderer who fled from justice.
