The liberal takeover of America is proceeding smoothly. Today, Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter announced that he was switching parties from Republican to Democrat because he finds his “political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans.” This means that now, Democrats have a filibuster-proof majority and will have an easier time ramming their agenda through Congress. Apparently, Specter previously denied that he was interested in changing parties by saying “to eliminate any doubt, I am a Republican, and I am running for reelection in 2010 as a Republican on the Republican ticket.” Oh, how times have changed.

Anyways, maybe it is better that Benedict Specter leaves the party, since he was not very helpful in opposing the Democrats in the first place. Sure he voted against the Labor Union-backed “card check” act… and he opposes gay marriage believing that marriage is an institution between a man and a woman… and he voted to protect the secrecy of the CIA’s interrogation techniques… and he opposes most forms of gun control… and he supports drilling for oil in Alaska… but all in all he just wasn’t a team player. Jack Cafferty, CNN commentator, called him a “gutless Republican worm.” I guess now he’s a “gutless Democrat Benedict Arnold worm.” Not much of an improvement.

To the Democrats I say “good luck.”
