And all along you thought that elephants never forget! The Democratic caucus has greeted the conversion of Arlen Specter to their ranks with a vindictive spirit more anxious to scourge the Pennsylvania lawyer for his past sin of Republicanism than to welcome him for accepting the one true faith. Democrats, like the governor of Pennsylvania, have tripped over themselves to criticize Specter, and Harry Reid has stripped Specter, a senator with thirty years of service, of his senority. Is that any way to grow a party? I get the feeling that a reverse repeat of the wave of party switchers that joined the GOP in the aftermath of the '94 drubbing is not in the works.

Three things about liberal Democrats:

They are very unhappy people -
They are vindictive haters -
They eat their own.

So the treatment that Specter is getting for being a Republican heretic for all of those years should be expected.

And let's remember that whenever a Republican reaches across the aisle to a Democrat, they are likely to lose digits or a hand and are once again reminded that Democrats don’t do bipartisan.

Three things about conservative republicans:
-They make baseless and broad judgements constantly
-Pretend to believe in a magic mexican named Jesus
-Think they are tough, but rely on a huge military to protect them.

When has a republican "reached across the aisle"?
Neither party does anything that does not help themselves. If dems are so bad, why would you applaud a Republican for reaching to them?

(Republicans are the party of christ, except for the charity and no wars part.)
-Think they are tough and fiscal, but rely on an expensive, huge military to protect them.
