Steele Calls Specter "Left Wing"

Ah, how the love affair ends. Here’s one more statement from a prominent GOPer, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, who brings up Specter’s “left wing voting record.” He's already left wing? Wow. Here's Steele:

Some in the Republican Party are happy about this. I am not. Let’s be honest-Senator Specter didn’t leave the GOP based on principles of any kind. He left to further his personal political interests because he knew that he was going to lose a Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record. Republicans look forward to beating Sen. Specter in 2010, assuming the Democrats don’t do it first ...

1. Republicans are so cute

2. Specter will do what he's told. You have to earn your place in the fold, after all.

This is a great thing. I congratulate Joe Biden for landing this Big Fish!

Specter is one of the few "nationally known" sorts from that club, and his fence-hopping example gives other Republicans who aren't happy with this "Praise GEEE-sus and Shoot the Gays" attitude on the part of the GOP permission to follow his example.

4. Exactly

Specter knows that he can't win the GOP primary, so what he did was purely a political stunt in order to save his seat. He's not doing it to rally against the GOP, he's doing it for his own selfish reasons.

"Conservatives" are unfortunately Born that way.. it isn't a Choice, they lack 'Fluidity in their

thinking, QUITE POSSABLY because of Organic physical deficiencies in essential cognitive structures of the brain.

my personal view of this subject..if we cant legislate out the Phenomenological IRON LAW OF OLIGARCHY http://bitbucket.icaap.org/dict.pl?alpha=1
"snip...ON LAW OF OLIGARCHY First defined by German sociologist Robert Michels (1876-1936), this refers to the inherent tendency of all complex organizations, including radical or socialist political parties and labour unions, to develop a ruling clique of leaders with interests in the organization itself rather than in its official aims. These leaders, Michels argued, came to desire leadership and its status and rewards more than any commitment to goals. Inevitably, their influence was conservative, seeking to preserve and enhance the organization and not to endanger it by any radical action. Michels based his argument on the simple observation that day-to-day running of a complex organization by its mass membership was impossible. Therefore, professional full-time leadership and direction was required. In theory the leaders of the organization were subject to control by the mass membership, through delegate conferences and membership voting, but, in reality, the leaders were in the dominant position. They possessed the experience and expertise in running the organization, they came to control the means of communication within the organization and they monopolized the public status of representing the organization. It became difficult for the mass membership to provide any effective counterweight to this professional, entrenched, leadership. Michels also argued that these inherent organizational tendencies were strengthened by a mass psychology of leadership dependency, he felt that people had a basic psychological need to be led. ...snip"
