Instead - I'll talk about how we dodged a bullet with a the potential for filibuster proof senate. Even though there were some "moderate" Republicans, there are also "moderate" Democrats and there was a chance that the truly crazy wouldn't go through.
That dream is over.
Arlen Spector, one of those "moderate" republicans, has switched sides. Not because he decided that the Dems were the better party but because he knows his own republican constituents think he's an idiot and he won't be re-elected.
He's doing it to keep power. To keep his job. He's 79 friggin years old and has been there 30 years.
And now he has potentially given the Dems the one thing this country can't very well afford. A free pass on nearly any legislative thing they want. The ability to ignore the representatives and senators that speak for millions of Americans.
All because Arlen Spector wants to hold power.
It's over folks. Queen Nancy and Dirty Harry don't really have to worry about a thing.
Get ready for a legislative mugging. Get ready to become a ward of the State. Get ready to become part of the "middle class" by reducing everyone (except politicians of course) to a single class that happens to match what we now call poverty. Get ready for breadlines and state run industry.
Get ready......to say goodbye to the Republic.

And yet, as the deficit mushrooms, Obama will continue to claim "...that wasn't me". As he and his Congressional cronies tear every last dollar from hard working, middle-class Americans, he will continue to peg all the blame on Bush.
(careful Enzo...you'll make the top of a Homeland Security list if you continue to speak sense...at least you know CNN won't ever interview you!!)
