Like Me, Arlen’s Had Enough of Republican Extremism
Arlen Specter is switching parties, This has nothing to do with “Conservative” vs. “Liberal”….It’s completely attributable to the Republican party’s shift to the extreme right wing of the political scale. It’s a shining example that their “narrative” appeals to an ever-shrinking number of Americans….
Here you have a multi-term moderate Republican Senator who’s been good for his country and the State of PA who was essentially forced out of the Party because of a right-winger who’s taking him on in the primary. THIS is why Republicans have become a regional, minority party. This is NOT Nancy Pelosi’s, or Harry Reid’s or Barney Frank’s fault – this is their own undoing.
My prediction is that Specter wins BIG in the general election to a guy he may have potentially lost to in the Republican primary.
Ronald Reagan understood that elections are won in the middle…but today’s Republican Party seems to have forgotten. I wonder how long it’s going to take for them to re-lean this.
