With the defection of the traitor Specter from the Republican Party came cheers from the hard Right. “We are better off without him,” they said. “We're flushing the RINOs from the party,” they asserted. “The Left can't blame us anymore for what government does,” they exclaimed. While this may be so – and perhaps even what the Republican Party needs to motivate it to honestly look at re-evaluating its platform and philosophical strategy, which is being held hostage by an impossible acquiescence to unreasonable individualism – Specters defection will be horrific for the country in the immediate. Anyone cheering for that on the right side of the aisle is a fool, an idiot or both.
