Senator Arlen Specter seems to be getting a bit uncomfortable. He is facing the appropriate scorn for crossing the aisle to follow his liberal heart. Not only was he one of only three Republicans in Congress to vote for the porkulus spending package of Obama, Reed and Pelosi, the American triumvirate, but he debauched himself with a cloture vote to squelch debate and force a vote on a bill that members of neither chamber had read.

Now Arlen says the nation is on the brink of depression and that if the stimulus package had failed to pass the nation would have “slid off the brink.” It is safe to say, Mr. Specter, that you believed your action was right for the country and that spending almost a trillion dollars on undisclosed liberal pet projects was somehow good for America. That is the problem and the greatest proof that removing you from that seat is the best medicine for an ailing America.
