Specter's passing comes at a time when both political parties and the nation are divided straight down the middle. Long gone are the days when a Republican like Specter could reach across the aisle and enact legislation without being pilloried as a pariah. In the next few days, many editorial writers in referencing Specter’s life and career, “You shall not see his like again” Sadly for our country that will also apply to an era when compromise and working together was not a political mortal sin punishable by banishment from Capitol Hill.
I love it when a Republican compromises he/she is considered measured and intellectual.
ReplyDeleteWhen a democrat refuses to compromise he/she is considered principled.
I loved when Snarlin Arlen took on the farce that was Anita Hill...

I did vote for Arlen and I thought he was a champion of the working class. He fell out of grace with the Conservative Republicans because he had principals not found in Conservative Republicans, Arlen cared.
