here is a quick glimpse at the "independent minded" maverick Arlen specter who "wont be an automatic 60th vote"

while he was a republican on average voted 54 % of the time with the dems

after Tommer started to out polling him voted only 12% of the time with the dems

after switiching parties voted 68% of the time with them

ssince his dem challenger Sestak started gaining in the polls Spector has voted with the dems 98 % as of recenlty


wow, what an independet, If youlive in pensilvania please get spector out. I dont care if its Tommey or Sestak that get the seat they are at least honostly conservative and liberal. Spector should take a lesson for Henry Clay who said after losing "I would rather be right than be president"

There aren't any real "independents" anymore anyway, so how is this an issue? Almost every "independent" has similar voting records.

I just cant believe how some of these people get re-elected. just earlier today a michigan congressman said that we couldent expect them to read the bills befor they vote on them and spector promised to remain in the middle then shifted hard left.

No one bothers to learn who's running, they just look for familiar names.

I would rather see issue by issue voting than sticking to a party line.

Go ahead, there are websites that do that. But your average voter won't bother looking for them.
