Reply #6: Glenn Greenwald needs to get his head out of his ass.....and see the forest for the trees!

because the amount of Bad PR this does for the Republican Party could not be measured in dollars.

It ain't how Specter will vote that counts, it is what he represents in this country.....Reagan Democrats who joined the Republican party back in the 80s. It's how his move will bring even more moderate Republicans into the Democratic fold...and it is only a matter of time before they start to listen to the Democratic point of view that much more, and a good message will sway many, on areas of health, climate change, etc.... That's how we increase the numbers in the Democratic party, by converting fence sitters into real believers...not by attempting to stay "pure" like the Republicans have done.

We will rebuild this country bit by bit, block by block, state by state.....but not all at once.

Mr. Greenwald obviously doesn't see the bigger picture...yet.
