Benedict Arlen's getting no love

Tee hee! Arlen Specter has been warmly welcomed by his new, self-described, ideological compatriots - they've stripped him of all his senority, so now he's the most junior Democratic senator.



Great job Senator Specter! Congratulations on your traitors' welcome. I'm sure you thought that the Leftist thugs you've chosen to align with would be in your debt and would want to reward you. However, you've just learned that what Harry Reid, et al.'s sole care is their own personal power.



On the down side, this makes it much less likely that Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe won't make the same selfish jump across the aisle. RINOs beware: the Left still hates you, and we conservatives are going to challenge you with ideals, not try to seduce you with political expediency.



Since Specter is now the most junior, does he come behind Bob Casey in the order of precedence now? Does he have to stand when Casey enters the room? Wouldn't that be sweet justice...

Good Riddance!

FINALLY, "Benedict Arlen's" true colors come out and give us a great start on recasting the Republican Party as the home for conservatives!

Hey Senator Specter, how about helping us out and taking Voinovich, Collins, and Snowe with you?

Former Representative and Club for Growth President Pat Toomey now has a free run to the general election and won't have to waste resources on the Republican primary.

Support Pat Toomey's candidacy here.

Oh, barf

Couldn't the GOP have found somebody better than ex-HP CEO Carly Fiorina - fired and shoved out the door (not soon enough) by the company - to be their "Victory Chairman"?

Yoo hoo, GOP, it's the Democrats for whom failure equals success and promotion.

State of the Union

I am not going to be watching President Bush's address to the Congress and the Nation tonight because, based on what I've already heard and read in the various press previews, it will most likely disgust me.

6 1/2 years ago, in the summer of 2000, I had absolutely no enthusiasm for George W. Bush until the stirring address he made to the Republican National Convention. Today, I believe the President has destroyed the promise of his Administration by not prosecuting the War on Terror with the ferocity, violence, and unrelenting destruction that warfare demands, by sacrificing pure Conservative principles and embracing big government solutions, by endless kowtowing to liberals, etc., etc., etc.

I will read the transcript, and rip it to shreds on this blog tomorrow.

Hate to say it, but W has turned into his father, and this post is going to go in the RINO category.

With Repulicans like these...

...who needs Democrats?

Aaaaaaahnold has proposed universal health coverage in California, essentially state-subsidized private insurance. Good on the surface, troubling underneath.

This post launches my "RINO" category.
