If the GOP had their way unchecked for the past 8 years, what was Pelosi doing as Speaker since 2006? Do you realize that what seasonal and temporary employment is? Watch the unemployment rolls skyrocket again after the holidays, then drink more of your kool-aid and say your Hope and Change versus while praying to your messiah.

We won, get used to it? Cheney made a point of claiming that 50% plus 1 vote was all the mandate he needed to steamroll the minority.

Race-baiting? It’s been the GOP’s go-to plan for decades.

Jobs? We were shedding jobs at the rate of 700,000 per month when Obama took office. This past month, it was only 11,000. That is significant improvement on a disaster he inherited, and the GOP has fought him all the way.

Obama took an imminent economic collapse, fuel by the kinds of policies that Toomey championed, and turned it around by rejecting those failed ideas.

The GOP had it their way unchecked for 8 years and nearly destroyed the country. Obama’s been in less than a year, and hasn’t gotten any cooperation from the Republicans, despite reaching out, giving them a seat at the table and making concessions to them in various bills.

Nice try, James, but you are completely missing the point of what has been going on.

Dems have expanded the tent? Huh? Have you seen Obama’s approval ratings lately? What about Pelosi’s ratings? What about Rendell’s or Specter’s? Geez, I wonder what their sorry ratings would look like if the tent wasn’t so vastly expanded. Have you noticed how fast independents are leaving your messiah? The reason is your “We won, shut up and get used to it” thug politics. I thought you guys were supposed to be different? Your party is a complete joke, focused more on unions and race-baiting politics than on the needs of the average american. Go down to the local homeless shelter and tell them how many jobs your messiah has saved or created in the past year. That should make them happy, since they can feed themselves with hope and change, right? Specter, like Obama, is an embarrassment. But, keep feeding your delusions….the economy is fantastic, Obama is a genius, everyone loves Specter. lol. YES WE CAN!!!

I would MUCH rather have an actual liberal/progressive candidate in the PA Senate race, but you go into the election with the candidates you have, not the candidates you want.
Specter is better for PA than Sestak. Specter has the best chance of beating Toomey. Sestak forcing this primary is going to waste millions of Dem dollars that could be used against Toomey or tip Senate seats in other states.

I don’t have to like/approve/forgive Specter’s past to recognize he’s the best choice out of a field of crappy candidates. The other candidates are worse than Specter, therefore Specter is the preferred choice by default.

It’s not a ringing endorsement. However, Specter has made some good votes over the years, and taken hits doing the right thing on some progressive issues. Specter’s to the left of Onorato on social issues.

We’ve expanded the Dem tent, and the GOP has shrunk theirs. Specter’s on our team now. Get used to it.

Create jobs? I quit and closed the business, and now I don’t create anything except for me!

You do realize that Specter supported the evil Bush/Cheney policies you speak of, right? If it wasn’t for Bush, Cheney, and Santorum your pal Benedict Arlen would have lost to Toomey years ago. It must be strange being a Specter lover. Kind of lonely now days isn’t it? Get a black suit for election day because Specter’s career is going to get buried, in the primary or general, doesn’t matter. He’s finished, and everyone but you recognizes this.

Obama has slowed job loss to under 200,000 per month, as he bends the curve back to positive job growth. He was handed a runaway train plunging over a gorge.

Actually the stimulus is a full two year plan. It halted the rapid bleeding and it’s building stuff back up, as some sectors are beginning to recover.

So, Obama has saved us from 15% unemployment rocketing to 20%, had Bush stayed in office or if McCain had gotten elected.
