Rats desert a sinking ship

Sen. Arlen Specter has jumped ship and joined the Democrats, evidently seeing them as an island of saety in these politically turbulent times.

It's about time he showed his true colors anyway.

Olympia Snow, Susan Collins, and Jim Jeffords should follow suit.

The Republican Party so desperate right now that they are trying to co opt the TEA Party Movement, which is fed up with both parties.

Earlier this month Specter had denied that he ws doing what he just did.

Do we need any more lying politicians of either party?

Throw the bums out, start in 2020.
