Good riddance

It's about time that Senator Arlen Specter (R-at) finally joined his true compatriots over in the Democratic side of the Senate, since that's where he pretty much votes most of the time anyway.

We lost patience with the good politician back in 1999, when he weaselly cited "Scottish law" as a reason to avoid holding Bill Clinton accountable for lying under oath in a deposition in a Federal court case, in a pathetic attempt to play both sides of the aisle.

We'd be just as happy to lose the rest of the RINOs in Congress. At least then we'd be able to begin to rebuild a party that's based on true conservative principles.
