To be among the hated powerless minority sucks. F.. politics.

Remember when Bush fought hard for Specter when he was being challenged in the GOP primary.
This is on Bush. The GOP is absolutely awful. They are bankrupt in every way possible. |

It's not like Spector was ever going to vote against anything Obama wants to shove down the throats of the citizens. I'll give him credit for at least admitting that he's really an asshole Democrat.

We were screwed the day the oligarchs settled on GWB to take power.

Agreed. Obama is just the continuation of GWB with socialism breaking down the back door.

This is pretty simple, really. Early polls showed Spector 20+ points behind Pat Toomey, the guy who almost beat him in the primary back in 2004. Spector looked at his cards and decided it would be easier to win as a Dem in the generals then as a Repub in the primaries.
This is just political opportunism. It's not as though anyone believe Spector had a political-moral foundation to begin with.

Specter used to be a dem, then switched to the GOP.
He is about one thing: power. |
