Specter Switches Parties because Voters are Stupid!

Senator Arlen Specter, who has served our country as a Republican from Pennsylvania, has switched parties. He didn’t switch because he had an epiphany and decided to change his views. He changed parties to save his job! He knows that voters are, for the most part, STUPID! Mr. Specter realizes that his state will vote Democratic not because of the candidate, but because it is the way they are conditioned to vote. He knows that most voters will not comprehend or care where he stands on the issues. Mr. Specter realizes that most voters in this country have no idea who represents them on the state or local level. He knows that the voters in his state will vote for any candidate that has a little (D) after their name.

Voter ignorance is the real problem in this country. Too many people vote party line no matter what the circumstances. It happens in both parties. We vote for the party that tells us what we want to hear even though both parties rarely follow through with their campaign promises. We vote for our candidates based on what channel our TV’s are tuned to (CNN, MSNBC, FOX). We have forgotten that our politicians should be there to represent us, not control us. They should be concerned about our interests, not self-preservation. And that is all Mr. Specter is concerned with; Self-Preservation!
