Deflecting Senators
Senator Arlen Spector of Pennsylvania has deflected from the Republican party. Really?!! He broke his parties back by joining the 2 other republicans in passing the stimulus bill worth trillions of dollars. His lack of leadership and arrogant persona forced his constituencies to find another candidate. He weilded his power for the democrats under the republican name by choice. He secretly brokered deals with democrats to defeat the republicans all the while being dubbed a republican. His actions are purely based out of political survival. He knew that by brokering deals with democrats, especially on the stimulus bill would ultimately defeat the image of republican and thus changing sides will allow him to run against the next GOP condidate in Pennsylvania and potentially spend another 4 years in the Senate under the name of a democrat.
I am stunned at the ability of Senators to turn their backs on their constituents and still maintain a position of office. What I do not understand is how the GOP caucus even ran with this guy in '06. If he is so much of a deflector he does not belong in politics. However since politics are about votes and tenure, he is perfectly satisfied to be a democrat as long as he continues to collect his paycheck straight out of America's wallets. Regardless of party lines if you are against the ideas and foundations of a particular party and you run your campaign as something that you are not, there should some type of reprecussions and a replacement for your Senate seat. People of a particular faction did not vote you in to back stab them. You literally kill all aspirations of being a future Senator if you switch parties. It is absurd that the GOP does not have anything that will prevent Senators from being bought out and changing factions.
Here's the solution to the GOP problems. Stand on conservative values and foundations. People enjoy freedom and when you begin to give them more freedom they will repond positively. Therefore, conservative principles are the bedrock of the republican party. The republican party needs to turn their backs on people like Arlen Spector and accept people like Sarah Palin. Stop pandering to the other side of the aisle.
