Arlen's Spectacle

I'm so happy to see that 80-year-old weasel Arlen Spector's political life has come to an end. Compared to most people in office, he's not as bad as most since he's been a pretty moderate Republican and has been a guest on the Howard Stern Show before (hey that score points in my book). He had a great chance to become a great US Senator last year when he reached across party lines and voted for Obama's stimulus package. Spector caught heat from members of his own party and instead of standing his ground, he switched parties so he can get re-elected (at least he thought). Yes, having Spector on Obama's side was one of the telling factors on how the President got his heath care bill passed but instead of being a Republican, he had to vote in camo fatigues as a Democrat. He was a true political coward. Then last night, the voter's in his home state of Pennsylvania vote for Joe Sestak.

I don't get why a guy in his advanced age has left to offer and it made me sick that although he supported the man I want as my President, he could've shown some courage and leadership by being the guy that worked across the room to work on getting this country back on track. Yes, the Senate does have some moderate Republicans that are not as crazy as a Sam Brownback but they needed a leader of Spector's prestige to lead them and not to be afraid to listen to the right-wing political hacks on FOX NEWS do what is best for the country which is sometimes having to break ranks and pass things through.

Now that Spector's time has come and gone, I hope he openly supports Sestak elected into office because I'm impressed with the former 3-Star Admiral's energy and commitment to being a public servant.
