To be among the hated powerless minority sucks.

F.. politics.
The GOP is being really, really idiotic right now because the religious right is into purifying the fold. If you aren't one of us, well, there is the door. Hell, even people like Mitt Romney they're treating that way. What a loser strategy. Yeah, I know Specter isn't the most "conservative" guy around, but from PA you could be getting someone much worse. The Christian Right might challenge and beat him but they would only get trounced in the general election anyway. What would be the point of that? And while most Republicans were taking the "nothing to see here folks, move along" or the "Good riddance!" approach yesterday, some sensible pepole like Lindsay Graham were starting to ask the relevant questions like what is the party doing to itself. So many years of pandering to the Mike Huckabee/Pat Robertson faction is taking the party down.
