Link?

Republicans and Democrats both have totally lost sight of their roots,
not to mention any clue of what reality is. So it's no surprise that
there should be some party switching going on.

They should merge into "The Party of Dippy Ineffective Extremists", and
allow some room for folks who want to see the country governed based on
some form of common sense, rather than knee-jerk litmus tests for
adherence to foolish Utopian* ideals.

Joe the Plumber and George Cloony can co-chair the new party.

* OK, so "foolish Utopian" is redundant. But still...

More like "The party of infinite government and negligible Liberty".

They're all traitors to the Constitiution, and belong at the end of a
rope, twisting in the wind.

Pelosi is no surprise, I was curious about Specter.

They both want to be reelected; they're doing what they need to do.

I agree with Specter that the Repubs have moved too far to the right.
Unfortunately, as they've moved to the right, the Dems have moved to the
left, and what's in between is now a vast and arid wasteland. It's also
exactly where we need to be.

The Repubs want no taxes, huge military spending, chastity belts for
all, and no government services to anyone who doesn't personally avow
faith in Christ. The Dems want huge government, no military,
contraceptives for all, and are probably willing to let you sacrifice
virgins to the devil as long as you're current on your union dues.

I don't think either of those approaches are going to work.

I just want to be able to run my one-man shop without spending all my
time filling out forms, be able to hire one employee without having to
hire another one just to do the paperwork and compliance checking for
the first, and know that at the end of the day the taxes that I pay go
for things that are going to have a positive effect, and pay for
everything without some fools borrowing tons of money and laying the
debt on my (as yet unborn) grandchildren.

I don't think that either the Dems or the Repubs are delivering on that.

Welcome to the Future. In case you haven't noticed, the socialists have

been taking over America for generations, and are following the example of
the now-defunct Soviet Union right down the toilet.

Maybe they'll change the name of the USA to the USSS - Union of Soviet
Socialist Stated.

kinda imploded and Specter is running for cover.

the Repubs have not moved to the right.
If anything,they've moved left,as they went for the bailouts,and tend to
compromise when the other side does not compromise.

Unfortunately, as they've moved to the right, the Dems have moved to the
left, and what's in between is now a vast and arid wasteland. It's also
exactly where we need to be.

The Repubs want no taxes,

No,they want fair taxes.
As little of that "progressive" BS as possible,and not taxing a person's
estate..that has already had taxes paid on it.

huge military spending,

Far better than social spending that is only a waste.
At least military spending creates good paying jobs,provides the US with a
strong military,and gives us more options in dealing with other countries.

chastity belts for
all, and no government services to anyone who doesn't personally avow
faith in Christ.

Pure nonsense.

The Dems want huge government, no military,
contraceptives for all,

IMO,anyone who wants contraceptives should be able to buy them,with their
own money.Abortions,I favor MYOB,and a check box on tax returns like for
donating to the Presidential Election Fund.Only those who want to help
others would donate.

and are probably willing to let you sacrifice
virgins to the devil as long as you're current on your union dues.

That last I ageee with.
HOWEVER,I fear the DemocRATs/Leftists are destroying the Constitution and
are out to destroy America as we know it.

Yep. But now that they have total power the Democrats are into rape
and plunder.

Total power? The Democrats haven't even got a big enough majority to
block a filibuster.

But Jim Thompson is always reliably out of touch with reality ...

If you troubled yourself to read the article, you'd find that with
Specter flipping to Democrat, if Frankin wins then the Dems _will_ have
the majority to block a filibuster.

Which is pretty scary, but I would guess that most red-state (and even
some mixed-state) Democrats may not be thrilled about their
election-year opponents shining a light on them for filibuster-breaking.

There must be great rejoicing in the Progressive Socialist Party (aka
Democrats).

Only took them 100 days to destroy the USA as we know it :-(

Tell her to use both hands.

Seriously, there isn't enough support (or willingness to incur the wrath
of the voters) in the Democratic party to push it through.

Slowman must have that phrase permanently stored for repetitive use.

Sort of like Pelosi's use of "Bush's failed policies".

Both are signs of EXTREME ignorance.

Slowman, You still looking for work? I guess no one is hiring
janitors, huh ?

If you troubled yourself to read the article, you'd find that with
Specter flipping to Democrat, if Frankin wins then the Dems _will_ have
the majority to block a filibuster.

Slowman can't comprehend anything more complex than "Dick and Jane".
