Arlen Specter: RINO be gone (UPDATED)

Hallelujah!

And to commemorate the event, stolen from Barack Obama's Teleprompter's Facebook page:

 

UPDATE: Here's a reason why Specter is now in the appropriate party:

In a March 17th interview with The Hill, Specter said he absolutely would not switch parties:

[Democrats] are trying very hard for the 60th vote. Got to give them credit for trying. But the answer is no.

I'm not going to discuss private talks I had with other people who may or may not be considered influential. But since those three people are in the public domain, I think it is appropriative to respond to those questions.

I am staying a Republican because I think I have an important role, a more important role, to play there. The United States very desperately needs a two-party system. That's the basis of politics in America. I'm afraid we are becoming a one-party system, with Republicans becoming just a regional party with so little representation of the northeast or in the middle atlantic. I think as a governmental matter, it is very important to have a check and balance. That's a very important principle in the operation of our government. In the constitution on Separation of powers.

Flip. Flop.  His flip flopping means he hasn't a principled bone in his body... instead he's a finger in the air, what are the polls saying, politician... who's found his home in the party that epitomizes that philosophy.

Good riddance.  Might more RINOs become RINONOMOs...

How appropriate. It is ironic that we have a swine flu crisis at the same time we have a pork crisis in the WH...we should rename it the porkulas flu...when pigs fly.

Arlene Specter left the Republican Party a LONG time ago. Good riddance.

Adios!! Let Specter torment the lefties for a change. He may be a much more reliable ally for Democrats though.

Love the picture by the way.. Here is a list of some of the lesser-known reasons Specter defected.
