Jumping Ship

What a difference 2 weeks makes! The following is a quote from Arlen Spector regarding his place in the Republican party:

"If we lose my seat they have 60 Democrats, they will pass card check, you will have the Obama tax increases, they will carry out his big spending plans. So the 41st Republican, whose name is Arlen Specter is vital to stopping tax increases, passage of card check, and the Obama big spending plans....Those 41 seats are the only thing standing between a Democratic onslaught of higher taxes, more spending and card check."

"I am a Republican and I am going to run on the Republican ticket in the Republican primary.”

Specter is facing a tough Republican competitor in the 2010 Senate primaries and switched parties to run unopposed as a Democrat. Although I respect the fact he wants to remain in power, let’s see if holds true to the aforementioned comments.

My guess is his stance on card check will now go out the window….he’s already helped Obama with his spending plans!

So.....with a filibuster-proof majority of 60 Democrats, Obama's radical agenda will proceed unopposed...unless some Blue Dog Democrats decide to grow a set.

If that's the case, there should be NO reason we are not all living in prosperity within 4 years.

Right?
