Specter still votes with pubtards on key issues. It was a cynical move to run in the Dem Primary in Pa. He’s hardly converted the Senate to a vote milieu of “liberalism straight up.” It’s not about having 60 Dems, it’s about having 60 Dem VOTES Wooten.

Of course with the equivalant of a high school education at UGA, Wooten has ignored Specter’s actual VOTES.

Specter has a Republican voting record unlike any Dem in the Senate, even the gutless Blue Dogs who voted Bush nearly every vote.

Specter changes nothing. Specter continues to vote as a Pubtard, and opposes the EFCA.

This was all about Specter trying to survive in the Pa. primary–nothing more.

Olympia Snowe has put up her for sale sign. What will she be offerred to switch?

Iraq is in worse shape than it’s ever been, and Pakistan is on the cusp of becoming Talibanastan as the result of Bush policy.

The revolution is on its way in Pakistan.

Why can’t liberals be honest enough to admit that their “Democrat” party philosophies of being the champion of the working man have decayed into being a mouthpiece for a COMMUNIST agenda, currently disguised as the “fairness” of a Socialist solution for this nation’s problems?

A) Whining that releasing the torture memos will make America less safe.

B) Harumphing over the plans to build a high=speed rail network.

C) Tell us about how the sky is falling because Obama spoke to Chavez.

Pick one, phone it in, and go back to sleep.

One wonders whether President Obama, for all the soaring rhetoric, grasps why certain nations really do hate us. Does he think a Grozny, Darfur, Rwanda, Serbia, or Tibet happen in reaction to US global sinful conduct? Does he appreciate why hot spots like Cyprus, Taiwan, or Georgia, do not boil over—or under what conditions they might? Does he really believe that in the pre-Bush era we all got along (cf. his al Arabiya interview); then Bush’s strutting, unilateralism, and preemption, presto, caused anti-Americanism?

Take Iran. It wants to be the preeminent regional power in the Middle East, and win for the Persian Shiites the mantle of Islamic frontline leadership in the long war to destroy Israel. That requires oil revenue, sponsorship of terror, and nuclear weaponry.

Despite Bill Clinton’s past ramblings, it is not democratic; instead, prescreened, preapproved candidates are confirmed by plebiscites, and civil liberties are nonexistent as we know them. The history of Khomeinism is one of executing thousands of Shah-supporters, sending tens of thousands to their deaths in mass wave attacks in Iraq, and using surrogate Hezbollah and Shiite operatives to blow up Americans from Lebanon to Iraq. In other words, a democratic internationalist America stands in the way of their megalomaniac aspirations.

After the Carter humiliations, the Reagan disaster with Iran-Contra, the Clinton feeble attempts at appeasement, Americans gave up on the Khomeinists, and more or less hoped to distinguish the Iranian people from their theocracy, talk up democratic change, and contain the mullahs’ terrorist aspirations. We can do this adroitly or clumsily, but existential differences will remain nonetheless—until a change in ideology on their or our part. Either they reenter the family of nations, or we redefine the family of nations to include thugocracies.

And now? What is there to negotiate over? How soon they can have the bomb? Triangulation with them over Israel? Promises to quit sending shaped charges into Iraq to kill more Americans.
