Deacon Blues Morning, All. Here's part of the deal to get Specter to turn Dem.
Several Democrats are furious with Reid for agreeing to let Specter
keep the seniority accrued over more than 28 years as a Republican
senator. That could allow him to leap past senior Democrats on powerful
panels - including the Appropriations and Judiciary committees.
One senior Democratic lawmaker told The Hill that the Democratic
Conference will vote against giving the longtime Pennsylvania
Republican seniority over lawmakers such as Sens. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa),
Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) when they hold
their organizational meeting after the 2010 election.
Specter was elected in 1980, and under his deal with Reid would jump
ahead of all but a few Democrats when it comes time to dole out
committee chairmanships and assignments.
“That’s his deal and not the caucus’s,” the lawmaker said of Reid’s

The
truth is that Specter was going to lose the Republican primary to
former Rep. Pat Toomey. Came right out and admitted he was
changing parities so he could hold onto his senate seat. It's
hard to imagine that Arlo will fare any better than fellow scumbag Jim
Jeffords did after he switched parties, but who knows?
In Seattle, King County agreed to pay conservative blogger Stefan
Sharkansky
$225,000 to settle a public-records lawsuit he brought over the
county's delay in releasing documents about the 2004 governor's
election.. Those documents showed that King County elections officials
counted
hundreds of ineligible ballots — including double votes and votes from
unregistered or improperly registered voters. Rossi led Democrat
Christine Gregoire after two machine counts by 261 votes and 47
votes. Democrats demanded the old "hand count" gambit. Boxes of
uncounted ballots began popping up in King County. When the smoke
cleared, a judge gave the victory to Gregoire with a 133 vote
lead. There is no question, given King County's admission of
those fraudulently counted ballots, that Rossi won. So
where's the stink? There is none. Nobody cares.
NOBODY CARES!
ACORN wasn't the only democrat organization caught enlisting
unqualified Obama voters this past election, but they were the most
visible. ACORN fraud is behind Al Franken's MN "victory,
after Franken used a nearly identical strategy as Gregoire to turn
defeat into an apparent victory. Ohio, PA, VA, and North
Carolina were buried under ersatz ACORN ballots. So what happened
to ACORN? Barbara Mikulski got them a $5.2 BILLION dollar payoff
in the "stimulus" bill. Now, ACORN has more cash than the
Republican party! Do I have confidence in the integrity of US
elections? Nope. None. I want the Marines who oversaw Iraq's
first democratic election ever, to monitor those here at home. I
want every voter's thumb dipped in indelible purple ink, and election
day balloting only. Then I may believe. Until then I'd just
as soon lob mortar shells at congress, in the nicest way of
course.
