Ah Arlen

Talk about making a deal with the devil, Arlen is all about Arlen.

As a voting citizen of the Commonwealth I'm not sure what we have gained by this backroom deal. I am suspicious of decisions that are made on my behalf particularly when I wasn't asked. This falls into that category.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if Obama thinks Arlen is going to fall in line, he's nuts. He has always followed his own rules. At least he didn't lie about why he switched parties. Would he have lost next year? Maybe. With politics things can turn on dime. Ask McCain.

I didn't vote for Arlen and it is unlikely I would have voted for him next year. He is 79 years old, I would like to have the opportunity to vet my Democratic nominee.

Not cool.

Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave

Thomas Jefferson was John Adams' Vice President. Bored, he wrote a procedure for the U.S. Senate. A Manual of Parliamentary Practice was published in 1801.

Instead of getting anything accomplished this week, members of the Senate decided to practice every f@#$in procedure in the manual.

The entire Middle East is a mess and they are returning to their days as the geeks on the high school debate team.

For Arlen Specter, to suggest to his employers we the people, just don't get the Senate, is condescending.

Your wrong, Senator "Single Bullet Theory."

We get it, you bastards have mastered the inability to get anything done. TJ would not be pleased with how his procedures have been used to get so little done.
