Arlen Spector Bolts Republican Party for Dems

We always knew that Senator Arlen Specter could not be trusted. Today, he made it official.

Petrified that he will lose his Senate seat, liberal RINO Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter left the GOP today and joined the Democratic Party! That means the Democrats now have the votes they need to jam their big-government agenda down the throats of American taxpayers.

Some of the radical bills on the agenda would be very unpopular with the public, if the public learns what's in the bills.

We must redouble our efforts now to educate the public and pressure the House and Senate to make the political winds howl so that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi find they can't get the votes they need to pass bills to:

*Increase taxes on American workers and investors.

*Nationalize health care.

*End the secret ballot for labor union elections (card check).

*Impose a huge new cap and trade tax on energy use.

*Run up huge new debts.

But we have seen that Democrats are having second thoughts about the details in many of the proposals.

The card check bill is stalled, for now.

The cap and trade tax is struggling, for now.

But thanks to Arlen Specter's betrayal, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have an easier job.

(The rest of the email goes on to ask for contributions, so I'll omit it.)
