I know that Joe Sestak hasn't been perfect for the far left on defunding Iraq as fast as many would like. However, Arlen Specter is far worse.
In the Summer of 2007, Richard Lugar, ranking republican and former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Commitee started questioning the Iraq War. He finally asked if "the Iraqis want to be Iraqis?" This should have been all the political cover the "independent-minded" Arlen Specter needed to follow suit and break with Bush. According to the website icasualties.com: 194 Pennsylvanians have been killed in Iraq the third highest total of any state. This is disproportionate to Pennsylvania's population. If Arlen goes along with a policy that results in 194 families burying their kid, the only honest reason for that would be if all other options have failed. Arlen didn't even demand that Bush provide a "D*mn Good Reason." He didn't demand that all other options be exhausted. My personal opinion is that Cheney should be turned over to the Spaniards, since they want to prosecute and some Senators should be kicked out of office. Arlen would be a great place to start.
P.S. Maybe I'm just angry because many times I pick up the paper and the kids killed in Iraq are YOUNGER then Me. I'm only 25!
