#2 I disagree about Arlen's future. Part of Penna. turning blue is that the RINOS have left the GOP. Arlen's base in Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware and Chester Counties is no longer blue and will not be able to support him in the primaries. The west is furious. People are still PO'd about the Whiskey excise.

Fast Eddie's quandary will be whether to move to open primaries so voters don't get a choice in the general or to let the trunks become a permanent minority as in other one party states. The seat will turn officially blue in 2010. But it has been for some time any way. Thanks to George Bush.

#3 Spector only voted for the Stimulus because it provided 30 million for one of his pet projects. I believe it was the National Institute of Mental Health, but I could be wrong.

#4 And to the constituents of the Democrats who voted against it, and to the constituents of nearly all of the Republicans which combined could number into the hundreds of millions of Americans, Barry, Reid, Pelosi say shut up and go to hell!

And Pelosi got $30 Mil for her mouse pet project. Apparently the market price of rodents is $30 million.

Arlen should retire and die in whichever order is best according to God

#8 If we are lucky maybe his vote will knock him out of office and the people in Pennsylvania will get a real representative in Congress. Dump Murtha too.

#10 National Institute of Mental Health

I had thought Arlen's pet cause was the National Institute for Marble-Mouthed Idiocy. But maybe you're right.
