Who's the bigger Jackass today? Arlen Specter or Michael Steele?

A tie, perhaps? Specter is no more than a turncoat who switched parties for purely political reasons. The same reflects everything that is bad and wrong with democratic and republican politicians today. If you choose to affiliate yourself with either of these two B.S. parties, then at least have the character and manhood (or womanhood, if such is the case) to stick by that decision during your political career. Now, if one wants to leave one of those two parties and become an Independent -- different kettle of fish entirely -- because that would actually take some real guts, as opposed to the complete opposite that we've witnessed from Specter today (yes, Specter is gutless).

Only adding to the shame of Specter's decision is the tremendous and obvious political significance of now handing the democrats a fillibuster proof Senate (presuming Franken ultimately prevails in Minnesota). Having either one of these two extreme-controlled, out-of-touch parties running EVERYTHING is truly a very frightening thought, and it's now about to come to fruition. Not only are we about to have democratic control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, but (to add insult to injury) now a fillibuster proof 60 seats for the democrats in the Senate. This truly is a scary day in America, because even though the constituency and makeup of the Senate is ever-changing, I worry about the kind of damage the far-left controlled democrats can level before the repubs are able to pick up a couple of seats (and regain fillibuster power). Put another way, these 2 parties are both very dangerous in my view: Better for them both to have SOME power so that each can at least have an ability to fight it out and place some type of check on the other side.

Finally, repubs might want to consider giving the axe (and I mean yesterday, not tomorrow or next year) to Repub National Committee Chairman, Michael Steele. This is the buffoon who recently came out with the position that Rush Limbaugh is not the leader of the repubs, only to bend over the next day to the far right and to start apologizing and gushing all over Limbaugh. Today, in response to Specter's move, Steele is now apparently trying to shed his weasel-ness in order to become some kind of newfound tough guy! He says (see link below) that if Specter wins the democratic primary in Pennsylvania in 2010 (when Specter will be seeking re-election), then "get ready to go to the mat, baby, because we're coming after you and and taking you out!" W--T--F is that? Steele is not some fool blogger from a town of 9000 like me -- he's the damn leader of the Repub National Committee! Instead of speaking in a tone appropriate for that position, we instead get his best impersonation of a Stone Cold Steve Austin or John Cena promotional interview.

The neverending silliness of this sort out of the so-called "leaders" of our only two parties is frankly sickening and just wears me the **** out. The majority of us Americans truly have no one and no party representing us.
