Specter "I'm going to run in the Republican primary and on the Republican ticket"

Only 20 days ago Specter told Newsweek that he would not be switching parties. Hmm today Harry Reid said that this had been in the works for a while now. Conclusion? Specter is a trader and a liar! How much more arrogant and selfish could this man be? He decides he can’t win so rather than stand up for principles and the people who voted for him, his political future holds precedence over all else...

Newsweek: Would you consider running as an independent.

Specter: No.

Newsweek: No? Definitely not?

Specter: I'm a Republican and I'm going to run in the Republican primary and on the Republican ticket.

Newsweek: We talked to Governor Rendell who said that the running joke is that you could easily become a Democrat and if you did, the framework in the state would make things very easy for you.

Specter: I'm not considering it. Rendell said he would help me raise money. He said that publicly a few weeks ago and I responded publicly that if I became a Democrat I wouldn't need to raise money.

You can bet the democrats wanted Specter! His betrayal to the Republican Party would help push the Democrats to 60 votes in the Senate which would be a filibuster proof majority (how scary is that). What back door deal did they make? Is he going to be able to pass legislation with ease, unlimited amount of pork for his state (you know the Dems love to insert pork into a bill), placed on a committee? What was more important than self-respect? I’m not angry that he switched parties, in fact, I could care less. In my opinion he never switched, he remained a Democrat. I’m irritated because there seems to be a pattern among politicians here in DC...they care less about their constituents and more about power. Pathetic!

Irritating People Make Me Want To Scream

I am actually quite embarrassed to admit this but I will sacrifice my comfort for the sake of this little story. I was watching this ridiculous reality show (which most are) about a group of music video models or what not (I think it’s called Candy girls). This one young lady stuck out because of her disgusting attitude. To get to the point, this young lady/model is also a single mother as she mentions 100x during the episode. Along with a few other girls, she was booked for a photo shoot with a magazine promoting the agency which represents her. Being that the agency is fairly new and is working hard to position itself among already established agencies, it is important that these girls remain professional during a shoot or whatever job they are chosen for. This particular young lady (the one I mentioned a few moments ago) seems to always be a bit hostile and argumentative. You know…the type of person who will jump on anything you say just to start a fight. Because of her attitude, the owner of the agency who also happens to be her agent came to the house to discuss the job with the girls but more importantly to chat with Miss. Attitude (I guess we will call her that since I do not know her name or care to find out) about her professionalism. Her agent wanted to make sure that she knew not to discuss her private life, specifically her child during the job and to follow the directions of the photographer. Of course this made her snap and throw a fit, HOW DARE her ask her not to talk about her daughter! Well considering she is on a photo shoot or in a music video, I would think that this is not the best place to discuss your life story with everyone. Like her agent clearly articulated, it’s okay to discuss your daughter if the subject is brought up or asked, otherwise, save the convo for your girlfriends.
I will apologize for the length; I admit I could have gotten to the point 10 sentences ago. Nonetheless, skip ahead to the photo shoot where once again Miss. Attitude gave her agent/boss some lip because she was still holding a grudge from their earlier conversation. Thus, she was asked to leave. Here is what I found so irritating and frustrating. This disrespectful young lady had the nerve to blame everything on her boss. I cannot recall the exact quote but it went along the lines of...She’s taking the food out of my daughter’s mouth.
Umm excuse me? It seems to me that YOU took the food out of your daughter’s mouth. YOUR INAPPROPRIATE actions cannot be blamed on anyone but yourself!
I am so annoyed that someone could say something so ridiculous with a straight face. I mention this because this is what is going on around our country and is being instigated by our politicians (well half of them). They are encouraging this entitlement society where responsibility ceases to exist. Personal accountability is now thrown out the window as we are taught to blame everyone but ourselves…Which not only sounds preposterous, IT IS!

Dont Make Me Walk Far

I’ve had something on my mind for quite some time now and it desperately needs to come out before I explode.
So how many people have seen these stupid parking spaces for “hyyybrid cars”?
Riiiidiculous! Look I understand that these cars are better for the environment and I am aware that these cars cost less to fill up, therefore saving you money in the future and the enviroment. I totally support it! Here is the issue… I already have a car that is paid off and considering whos working for us here in the wonderful capitol, we are sure to be trapped in this awful economy for some time. Due to the incompetence of our elected officials and those nominated by our elected officials (Ahem Geithner anyone?) loans are not being issued and buying a car is simply not a luxury most can afford. Luckily, I have no need for a new car right now. I am perfectly content with the one I drive.

For that reason, I will park wherever I would like! Everyone talks about fairness but what’s fair about making me walk a mile to get to the store when there are a few spots open up front. But noo wait, those are for the environmental freaks!

So basically, those with enough money (oh about $30k) to be "Green" will have preferential parking.

Don’t appreciate it at all!

The End!
