People in this country are amazingly unable to think for themselves. You guys right now are demonstrating how people merely jump on the partisan bandwagon.
Take spygate out of the equation and without doing some googling, tell me a couple of his policies that you disagree with now that he's a democrat in which you didn't disagree with a week ago.
These are the reasons few and few people respect the Republican party as a whole. This is also why so many reports of the Republicans needing to "change their image" have been coming out in past months.
I guess this week's Republican Kool-aid is Specter flavored. Enjoy.

Johnny, none of these posts mentioned anything about Spector's policies. It was a comment about how the Dems said one thing and did another (I can't believe politicians would lie). Spector is a joke because he decides which party he's going to be in based on what is best for his job prospects. He would have been voted out in the primary if he remained as a Republican. As a Democrat, he'll run unopposed in the primary. Then, with a voting base made up of mostly Democrats, he'll win the general election. Self preservation is his only concern, not his constituants.
I think this is funny because he he tried to play the system and he got played himself. It has nothing to do with which party he's affiliated with. In fact, good for the Dems for not letting him keep his seniority. They know why he did what he did.
Your post seems to be geared towards taking a cheap shot at Republicans. This is about Spector getting screwed by his own party and has nothing to do with Republicans.
