Don't let the door smack you in your other face on your way out! After President George W. Bush saved you in the last primary, after all the times the Republican leadership stood up for you, you stab them in the back, Arlen. What a putz! You are a walking, talking ad for term limits.
The longer a politician spends in Washington, the more devious and corrupt they become. It's a preogressive illness, like being progressive and liberal, and you have a terminal case. Symptoms include attacking your own constinuency, blaming them for all your problems, while you do everything you can to hurt them. You have no place in a representative republic. You've been a Democrat for such a long time, your final announcement was certainly not surprising to me.
You could have at least been a little more honest about your nature and saved us a loss in the 2004 primary. Toomey would have been, and will be, a far greater Senator than you. Don't forget, most of the excess in registered Democrats over Republicans in Pennsylvania are still Republicans who switched during the 2008 primary as part of Rush's Operation Chaos. Neither your primary or election victory is thus quaranteed. Funny you didn't think about that before you changed parties.
Then again, you're like the man in the old hand painted poster from the 60's, with his head up a certain part of his anatomy and accompanied by the caption "Your Problem is Obvious!". So probably the door won't help slap any sense into you. It will only confuse you.
P.S. Check out "The Texas Declaration of Independence" posting by TexasTom at 12:00AM today, April 30, 2008 and see if it doesn't sound like the situation we are facing with the present administration and Congress in Washington. The present American Federal government sounds a lot like the Mexican government the Texans rose up against. The difference? Mexico is still crippled with the same corrupt government, we can still change ours.
