"I’m not sure why anyone who respects the processes of democracy would even have a second thought over this."

There are only two kinds of Americans who support this: Fascists and Communists.

The Democrats have their eyes on Specter’s seat.

Funny, so do conservatives. :-)

You mean Specter opted for what he shouldve done in the first place

Yes, he's going to try to buck his usual, knee-jerk reaction of voting the wrong way. Like asking a dog to not drink out of the toilet, it goes against his natural instincts, so we'll see if he really can keep his tongue off the porcelain.

Specter might as well just switch over to being a democrat and take a page out of Schmuck Schumer’s book and start combing his hair with a piece of buttered toast.

If this is the case, it is only because there are already enough RINOs lined up to vote for passage already. Specter will use this as a re-election CYA vote.

He only seems to have a spine when there’s a question of him not getting reelected - like lobbying the Penn. legislature to change the law so he can run as an independent if he loses the primary.

The Sphincter cares about his own power and nothing else.
