"I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans," Specter said in a statement posted on a Web site devoted to Pennsylvania politics and confirmed by his office. Several Senate officials said a formal announcement could come later in the day or Wednesday. Specter, 79 and in his fifth term, is one of a handful of Republican moderates remaining in Congress in a party now dominated by conservatives. Several officials said the White House as well as leaders in both parties had been involved in discussions leading to his move. With Specter, Democrats would have 59 Senate seats. Al Franken is ahead in a marathon recount in Minnesota, and if he ultimately wins his race against Republican Norm Coleman, he would become the party's 60th vote. That is the number needed to overcome a filibuster. Specter faced an extraordinarily difficult re-election challenge in his home state in 2010, having first to confront a challenge from his right in the Republican primary before pivoting to a general election campaign against a Democrat. "I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate," he said in the statement. "I don't have to say anything to them. They said it to me," Specter said, when asked in a Capitol corridor about abandoning the GOP. A senior White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because no announcement has yet been made, said at 10:25 a.m. EDT Tuesday President Barack Obama was handed a note while in the Oval Office during his daily economic briefing. The note said: "Specter is announcing he is changing parties." At 10:32, Obama reached Specter by phone and told him "you have my full support" and that the Democratic Party is "thrilled to have you." Specter had publicly acknowledged that to win in 2010, he would need thousands of Pennsylvania voters who switched from Republican to Democrat last year to vote for Obama to flip back to the GOP to cast ballots for him. Specter says he's switching from GOP to Democrats

I can see you are fairly brain dead. It is entirely your problem not mine. I refuse to play your game anymore.
Oh the irony!!! LOL!
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I know the story. Most Americans can't help but know it. FOX News had a holiday with it, thanks to millions of people who were easily drawn into the sad tale of woe. It was aright up there above that poor American girl who died on Aruba in terms of the glee they had with it. Of course this is entirely thanks to people who're willing to watch.
If you know the story then you should know that, as a devout Catholic she would not have chosen to die that way (and who would want to be tortured to death?). And her family offered to care for her. Her "husband," if he had had an ounce of human decency, should have allowed them to take care of her. But the fact is that he didn't have even a gram of human decency. Neither did the "judge" who ordered the execution.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I'd hold my water for a weed before I pee'd on that psychotic.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I think that "judge" and Mikey Schiavo had some connection with Scientology. The area where that happened is a hotbed for those freaks.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Excuse me. You exist solely because of food and water. That is all Terri needed to continue to live. She was not on any other "life support" beyond food and water. Since when does the manner in which it is administered determine whether or not a person has the right to live? The Constitution affords that as a natural right. It is the state of "default". Terri had no will stating otherwise. He husband, who had gone on with his life, fathering children with another woman, certainly gave up any claims to being a "disinterested" person as far as what would be in Terri's best interest. In fact, before he obtained millions in a lawsuit, he tearfully claimed he would do whatever he could to continue to love her and provide for her, for the rest of his life. It's amazing how that all got swept under the rug after he got the millions and then decided "he remembered" she 'didn't want to live like that.' At the same time, he then stopped allowing any kind of normal treatments upon her, refusing to allow antibiotics given to her and the like. Ultimately, refusing her sustenance, the same thing YOU need to live.
Nah, he just thinks he is when he's drunk. Which, unfortunately, seems to be most of the time.
There was a mass of people who had been and continue to be jamming the phone lines about illegals and Amnesty...or do you not remember the militia groups formed, the DC phone lines going down, the outrage across the country that was *finally* waking up the sheeple. Most people back in 2005 did not live along the border states. They did not see that illegals would 'ever' effect them. This is typical myopic way of thinking with people. The media was complicit with this type of tunnel vision. They didn't and still don't report the criminal acts of illegals. They use other words for them...calling them "undocumented" and what have you. Unless you spoon feed most Americans...regardless of faith, they don't get anything. I bet most still don't get the economy, but more do, because now unemployment is at about 18% across the country.
good post.
Glory to God in the highest, and Peace to His people on Earth. Yep. but i remember the family was weak-kneed about taking aggressive action. Catholics are against (at least are supposed ot be against if they follow the rules) all artificial and purposeful end to life. suicide, euthenasia, abortion, all equate murder. taking someone off artificial life support such as a respirator or heart pumping machine does not qualify as euthenasia though, because the person could still theoretically live without those things,. Injecting them with poison to kill them or starving them to death crosses the line and is clearly murder.
Glory to God in the highest, and Peace to His people on Earth. thanks for the url (i did not see it in post 60).
Glory to God in the highest, and Peace to His people on Earth. So from the PEW data above we can assume that at a sizable number of Americans are easily distracted by so-called "right to life issues." FOX probably has analysts looking at data like this and trying to determine what sort of material will draw their audiences in for more advertising time. Looks like a cakewalk here. Plus, it's getting easier since so many illegals are Catholics.
i do not think life issues are a distraction. If someone is truly pro life they would not vote for degenerates like bush or obama. and abortion is by far not the only 'life' issue, as the repubricrats would have people believe. As a good friend of mine puts it, his fellow Catholics at his church seem to be "pro life" as long as it's a fetus, but as soon as it turns 18 it's ok to have them violate the 5th Commandment, sent off to unconstitutional wars to commit genocide and torture against foreigners.
Glory to God in the highest, and Peace to His people on Earth. Fuck that jewish piece-of-shit, I wish Hitler had slaughtered EVERY fucking jew on the planet, including him and his parents so that we would be rid of that filthy race.
_________________________________________________________________________ I found myself arguing with pro-life people who thought that illegals were OK because they were Christian Catholics, and Bush should remain in office because he might nominate more pro-life candidates. And how much time did we waste on the stem cell agenda, phony as it was since all Bush was doing was blocking federal spending on it? Every issue that can get us to vote for one of the existing parties is a distraction, and MILLIONS of people voted for McCain and Obama because of issues just like these. In your mind, I believe there's balance. You show that every day with your fight against the out of control legal system and your activities here. Even in the way you're responding to me is a demonstration of balance. Most Americans on these hot button issues are NOT balanced.
=================================== Hitler was himself, the son of a Jew.
#60 It is coming to CRITICAL MASS at exponential speed.
Hitler did the right thing in the end by committing suicide and not procreating.
_________________________________________________________________________ Senator Specter's later hearing of testimony from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Habeas Corpus was something to hear, considering the lecture the militiaman had given Specter about 10 years prior.
Hitler stated that had he won the war, he would "purge" the races of the world every 25 years in order to grow his Aryan Race. I do NOT agree with or subscribe to his tyrannical oppression - it would have thrown the entire world into endless war, needlessly killing hundreds of millions of completely innocent children, women, and men. However . . To those of you who do not know who Jacob Schiff was: Schiff worked for the Rothschilds, or maybe even was a Rothschild, and financed the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. That's right, the Capitalist Jew paid for the birth of Communism to the World! That 20 million, brought untold misery to millions, and would've been equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars today. Supposedly, Leon Trotsky, (a Jew, actually named Lev Bronstein) accompanied it to Russia. Only 13 members of the 384 members of the top governing body were ethnic, Gentile Russians. The leading administrators of the Gulag, where many people met horrible fates, were all Jews. Yagoda (Jew name: Ieguda or Judah) presided over the killing of millions of white gentiles.
=================================== He was a Socialist son-of-a-bitch ten years ago. Nothing has changed, other than the Party Affiliation under his name when he sits down in his overstuffed Senate chair.
The Constitution affords that as a natural right. It is the state of "default". Terri had no will stating otherwise. He husband, who had gone on with his life, fathering children with another woman, certainly gave up any claims to being a "disinterested" person as far as what would be in Terri's best interest.

It's amazing how that all got swept under the rug after he got the millions and then decided "he remembered" she 'didn't want to live like that.' At the same time, he then stopped allowing any kind of normal treatments upon her, refusing to allow antibiotics given to her and the like. Ultimately, refusing her sustenance, the same thing YOU need to live. Excellent post, litus.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Thanks. I try to tell people all the time that they are all criminal puppets. and actually bush's apointees are not pro life or pro constitution. thats an easy point to prove. youre right, the people are decieved and caught up in the theatre. it is sad. This is one of my favorite pictures. it sums the whole thing up pretty well. Glory to God in the highest, and Peace to His people on Earth. Yes, and they starved and dehydrated her to death. If you did the same thing to an animal you would be prosecuted. And rightly so.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. that reminds me,. we have a new law in CA that forbids people from tying or teathering your dog for more than 3 hours. the kennel and breeders, ranchers etc were all against this bs law. the left winger/ peta crowd were for it. i know two families personally who have been forced to give up their dogs. the local kook cops peer and peek into peoples yards now, and issue tickets, and ultimatums. the world is nuts. lol.
Glory to God in the highest, and Peace to His people on Earth. i have a question. since the 'voting system' and elections are all fraud-rigged and theatre anyway, why is specter really doing this. he does not need to switch parties to win, sicne elections are phony anyway. so what is the real purpose of all this nonsense, or is it just another theatre/ distraction to keep pundits occupied.
Glory to God in the highest, and Peace to His people on Earth. ty, James.
Yeah, the world is nuts or at least a good many of the people in it are. You can't mistreat animals and if you do you will, at the very least, pay a fine. You could even go to prison. But you can murder babies and torture human adults, even unto death, and idiot lawyers who have ascended to the Cult of the Black Robe will say you have the right to do it and even order family members not to even give their loved one a chip of ice on her lips. Given the opportunity, I know what I would have done if I had been Terri's brother.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Just more agitprop bs. "Conning the mugs" as they say in England. That's all it amounts to.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Same here. In any case the technology now exists to positively determine the direction of travel of the projectile that struck Kennedy's brain. (The wound to the side of his head was tangential and avulsive, both entrance and exit) Even if the damage to the skull and scalp was inconclusive, scanning electron microscopy of the brain would now answer the question assuming the "experts' didn't claim to be unable to determine the top from the bottom, the left from right side of the brain. The inevitable development of this technology is why for many years the brain has been missing from the electronic safe in which it was stored. There were only a few people who had the combination so we can safely assume that removing this evidence was not a crime to the govt, just as they assumed that the American people wouldn't give sour owlshit about learning the truth someday. And, the death of John John (who was certain to win the senate seat now held by "Bruno" Clinton and eventually the presidency and who vowed to punish those who conspired to murder his father) makes me think thoughts I shouldn't be thinking. Those rotten bastards are still at it and still certain that no American law enforcement agencies or oversight committees or media outlets will dare to cross them. Apparently if you have the power in America (just as it is in the countless banana republics we've instructed in the proper way to attach electrodes to genitalia) then "might makes right" and only the Pollyannas like me refuse to accept this political reality. And, frankly, I lose patience with people who'd argue with me endlessly about this but they wouldn't dream of haranguing the evil govt types who made the evidence and witnesses disappear- people like Vincent Bugliosi, who apparently decided that being the darling of the forensics talk show circuit was so important to his self esteem that he'd allow his good name be used to hide the truth. He made perfect sense with irrefutable logic when explaining why OJ was the murderer of Nicole and Ron Goldman, but he gets real stupid when discussing the assassination of my president.
Thank you.
There is always a story to distract us. They usually involve dead or missing pretty white girls or women. This does not detract from the fact that she was left to die a not-too-pleasant death. She was, IIRC, not unconscious, she could and did interact with people. WHere there is life, there's hope. She was in no pain. SHe was living without drugs, so they had to cut off her food and water to murder her. There was no "plug" to pull. The people that made the decision to kill her, mainly her "husband" /sneer/ that wanted her gone so he could party hearty, should have never been in the position to decide her fate, because THEY WERE NOT REPRESENTING HER INTERESTS, but THEIR OWN SELFISH INTERESTS. The rest of your post I agree with. I take the flu threat a little more seriously than you seem to, but I understand your point. .

=================================================== Excellent question. The answer is not difficult at all - it is NOT a MYSTERY. ARLAN SPECTER'S DOT.GOV web site still labels him as a "Republican." He has been one IN NAME ONLY for THIRTY-NINE YEARS. His defection proves that neither political party is capable of governing. Elected in 1980, he is currently the 12th-most senior member of the U.S. Senate and the fifth oldest Senator. Why would he want to suddenly abandon 39 years of toil and labor and then declare those affiliations are not working in the best interest of America? Focusing in on his deeds and actions in that capacity, and what he has stood for and done for defending the United States Constitution against enemies, foreign and domestic is telling. Not just on him, but really what the entire United States Government has become. Namely: IRRELEVANT. If the Arlan Specters of the Senate and the Congress and the White House and the United States Supreme Court cared one tinker's damn about the people of this nation, do you think they would have stood idly by and allowed the erosion of it's protective border and the dilution of the American Culture and History into something Americans who were born and have lived here for eight and nine decades now no longer even recognize as their own? I think not. Arlan Specter really personifies the agenda of this entire government, which has ceased to become a Republic and has managed to twist our Constitutional rights around the pole of situational ethics, liberal perverse morality, and above all - GREED. Greed for power at the expense of you and me, and for their own benefit. Have our rights eroded in the past ten years to the point none of us knows if we will wake up tomorrow morning greeted by either local police or our own sons and daughters wearing United Nations uniforms coming into our homes and searching us like common criminals because we dare to speak out against this oligarchic oppressive land THEY have created AGAINST our constant demands for them to reform and turn back to the founding principles of The Declaration of Independence? Instead, the Arlan Specters of today do just they opposite. They castigate and demonize anyone questioning by WHOSE AUTHORITY do they think they can outsource our national wealth to hostile nations, invade other countries and declare and execute multiple wars NOT in the interest of Americans, and allow the invasion and OCCUPATION of our land by a population of over TWENTY MILLION illegal aliens who are still LOYAL to Mexico? These people are not patriots, but instruments of a conglomerate of foreign powers who have infiltrated our very own system of governance to the point it is no longer OWNED, nor does it represent the very people they have sworn to defend - thee and me. Are our taxes fair? Are our taxes used to promote good law and order and health and protection for our families and us? Or are they spent on wars, corrupt lobbyists, and citizens of a foreign nation, or even open, willful corruption? Are our roads getting better? Our schools? Our hospitals and health care? Is corruption and graft rampant throughout the entire political spectrum: National, State, and Local Government ? Are our borders secure? Our economy should be the strongest in the history of the world, yet it remains intact by some mysterious thing called "The Fed" which nobody understands and nobody will admit is just a bunch of thugs themselves, lording their version of what they think will bring prosperity to the nation. But what they do is favor foreign economies, systems, and conglomerates over the best interests of America and stand in front of Congressional hearings swearing they are doing everything humanly possible to avoid another depression. Yet, the money decisions they make are always behind closed doors, always out of the public eye, and always in the interests of someone other than the average American. Do we trust our government to protect us and defend us against enemies, foreign and domestic? We all know the answers to these questions. It is simple. There is no mystery here.
SHe was living without drugs, so they had to cut off her food and water to murder her. There was no "plug" to pull. The people that made the decision to kill her, mainly her "husband" /sneer/ that wanted her gone so he could party hearty, should have never been in the position to decide her fate, because THEY WERE NOT REPRESENTING HER INTERESTS, but THEIR OWN SELFISH INTERESTS. Good post. Her so-called "husband" was already partying and she didn't need to be murdered so he could keep his whore and however many other women who would have anything to do with him. It is a bit astonishing that ANY woman would want anything to do with him but we have all heard about women who take up with serial killers in prison and whatnot.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Excellent post. Lots of good points.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Well said. I agree.
I take the mass media's treatment of the flu situation very seriously.
We're either all under a serious threat, or this is just another in a long line of lies delivered by our political capons.
Greed for power at the expense of you and me, and for their own benefit. Exactly.
It's a push-pull situation. Americans crave information that can restore their sense of being alive, which they've lost through more than a century of enslavement and pursuit of empire. Fear of death, brought on by justified apprehension after firebombings, nuclear bombings, napalm, and other anti-civilian measures during our big wars since the Spanish-American conflict, is almost like gladiating for civilians. Thoughts of mass death is a pique to the deadened American spirit. Deep down, the average American knows with an uneasy confidence that people might want to harm him for what has been done to others in his name. The government strives to provide the people with a sense of its usefulness and indispensability. The media wants to make money, and also wants to be indispensable. Probably the media owners want the government-media relationship to flourish, as well. Regardless of the dangers involved, government will be sold as the ultimate solution. Fear will be used to cow Americans into demanding more government. And additional government will present itself as essential. This has been a worsening cycle since the Murrah building bombing in OKC, and it will only get worse. The biggest fear being presented, as always, is civil unrest caused by circumstances beyond anyone's control. Although immigration could be reduced, and civil rights abuses could be curtailed, those two impetuses to civil unrest will only worsen. The answer, anyone in government knows, is more force on the streets.
