Today, Arlen Specter, a Senator from Pennsylvania, has decided to transfer his allegiance from the Republican to the Democratic Party. This comes off the heels of an election where Republicans lost many seats in the House, the Senate, and the primary seat in the White House
Specter, along with the two Maine Senators, were the only Republicans to vote for Obama's stimulus package that is sinking our nation into permanent deficits. His views have not been aligned with traditional Republican views and have slowly lurched to the left over the years.
With Democrats holding 59 seats in their caucus (56 true Democrats, 2 Independents, and Specter), plus the Minnesota seat being litigated in court for the next millenium, the Democrats have everything in place to implement their radical agenda of higher taxes, more spending, and more dependence on federal government for everyday needs.
