Republicans Need Washingtons, not Specters

The columns are all over the place, and all the analyses seem to be the same.

The Republican Party is supposedly deader than a doornail. Except in a handful of states in mid-America and in the South, Americans, according to these columnists, see Republicans as irrelevant, out-of-touch, mean-spirited dinosaurs.

And, they continue, among those groups that will demographically define the America of tomorrow -- the under-30 crowd and non-white America -- Republicans are toast.

These many columns inevitably lead to the conclusion that Republicans have no choice but to lighten up on the conservative agenda and buy into a new America of big government and gay marriage.

Truth is that Specter is neither a Republican nor a Democrat. He is a self serving egotist that stands for nothing other than the pursuit of personal political power and having the federal government as his sandbox to play in.

"Considering that the greatest of Americans limited his political career out of principle casts further irony that the most unprincipled of Americans, Arlen Specter, feels he's so indispensable that he'll betray anyone or anything to hold on to power."

Star Parker defines (and nails) Specter to a tee.

Frankly, while I respect and admire Washington, what ‘Pubbies need is a gazillion Washingtons AND Reagans.

What passes for Republicans today is unrecognizable to conservatives.

And, yes, there IS a difference.

Hamilton being the Federalist that he was, I’d bet he would have voted for Obama if he was alive today

Hamilton loved big government
