MoveOn.org to Specter: Be a Democrat or Be Gone in a Primary

Joe Sestak

Sestak could beat Specter in the primary if he came out in favor of the Employee Free Choice Act, but Sestak switched his position, and he is now against the EFCA.

WOW

This country has turned into a socialist republic of do what I want you to do. Does no one else see this as a dangerous threat to the US Constitution? This is not NATZI Germany. This is the United States of America. If Alrene wants to move to a different party then he has that right. He should have know what the repercussions were when he moved.

If MoveOn.org has something to do with the move them BONUS. But this kind of power threat from an invisible group is dangerous.

Will Mr. Spectors exit from public life change anything in DC? The stupidity will continue without him. As for his exit, the people of PA will make that choice. Choose wisely. The grass might seem greener, but is it really?

Tolerance

I am no fan of Arlen Specter and see him as somewhat of an opportunist who should retire already [though I guess they'll determine his merit in Pennsylvania]. However, the Democrats won't be doing our country any favors if they also become a party full of hardened and angry partisans who see their vision as the only vision [kind of like what Rush is to Republicans] and everyone else as obstacles to their myopic view and agenda. Republicans were often ugly when they were in power and called those disagreeing with any detail of our War policy as "anti-American". Some "progressives" ironically are saying the same about those who oppose their spendthrift ideology and dangerous government expansion policies. There's nothing inherently wrong with being progressive or very conservative, it just polarizes and angers everyone when one or both parties is hijacked by an extreme wing.

Double standard much?

OK, let me get this straight...

Conservatives criticized Specter for not supporting the party platform and would have defeated him in the Republican primary so he left. Because of this, many articles appear all over the media calling the Republican party extremists. Leftists all over the internet decry the horrible Republican party that allows no dissent.

Now Specter is told by the same lefties who screamed about the intolerant Republicans that he must vote their line or face defeat in the primary. Leftists all over the internal applaud the drive for a united front, and agree that he must support the President and the neo-Marxist Liberal agenda or else.

*facepalm*

I'll shed no tears for the loss of a political chameleon like Specter, but the lefties are beyond hypocrisy on this one.

Wow...

Guess you sure showed Specter what a mistake he made to join the Democratic Party. Now you won't have to worry about anybody else making his mistake. But you are so all powerful now you don't have to answer to anybody right? I mean what could go wrong.

Hey Moveon.org

How about going after your own:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insisted Friday that she was briefed only once about the "enhanced" interrogation techniques being used on terrorism suspects and that she was assured by lawyers with the CIA and the Department of Justice that the methods were legal

Didn't she say she knew nothing about the EIT? But when the facts come out it's I was told but they said it was legal. Which one is it. And wasn't she SO outraged by the use of the EIT, but it's ok because she was told it was legal. What a lier.

She knew and she lied but it's ok because she is a leftwing Dem.

What a sorry bunch. You deserve each other.

You have term limits

it's called voting them out of office

Specter

Arlen Specter is the best example of why we need TERM LIMITS !

NOTE TO ARLEN...

When you jump ship and join a bunch of cutthroats led by groups like ACORN,The Daily KOS and MoveOn...Well, don't be surprised when you wake up with your throat cut. In case you missed the news flash - they only "tolerate" those who agree with them - totally....

Good idea.

If Specter wants to be a Democrat, he needs to act like one. That means support for both Obama AND the pregressive agenda.

Otherwise, let's get a new one.
