"Meanwhile, in an unexpected move, the Senate on Tuesday night stripped Specter of much of his congressional influence by revoking his seniority on the committees on which he serves."


Nice set of friends Specter seems to have found there.

Yeah, right.


SoI suppose that if your 'party of NO' were in power/the majority, and made a deal with a senator to defect from the dems in order to avert possible filibusters, they would reward him/her for acting asa lefty-libby and defying all of your extremerighties???


Yup, that double-standard makes perfect sense.

incredible.... 'NO' is all the D's could utter when they were the minority. the 'filibuster without speaking a word' was invented by the D's.


please articulate for me what the L's and D's DO stand for. please. what DO they want to do?

No. I don't feel sorry for him. He made his own bed, now he's lying in it.


Actually, it's kind of sad in some ways. But I don't feel sorry for him.

Doubtful. I imagine the pubs would probably tell said Senator up front what his seniority status would be, which would probably be none.


Although there's no shortage of them, there does seem to be a somewhat lower concentration of backstabbers and bald-faced liars in the Party of Stupid than in the Party of Evil.
