I'm not defending anyone on the far left. This isn't a matter of me defending him because he's on the left. I would be saying the exact same thing if a dem turned republican and a bunch of left-wingers started bashing him out of the blue.

Your line of "You take to defending the far, far left way too personal" is exactly what's wrong with politics. Aside from the fact that Spector is nothing close to the "far, far left", this piss-poor attitude of "you're with us or against us" is why nothing gets accomplished in Congress any more.

Criticize someone that's on the Right, and you're a crazy liberal.
Criticize someone that's on the Left, and you're a money hungry Conservative.

There is no middle ground any more. A moderate political ideology is mostly unacceptable to both sides. And that's the issue with a two-party system.
