NOT QUITE IVORY
Not yet.
As the castiagting and purging of Republican party members for ‘purity’ advances, mayhaps we can expect a 3-way cage match of Sarah Palin, Samuel Wurzelbacher, Karl Rove and Glenn Beck as the last act in attempting to ideologically reach that ever elusive 99 and 44/100 per cent level (ref.).
Needless to say, substitute your own more contemporary (say, from Ronald Reagan onward) bits for the lyrics in this nevertheless relevant ditty from 1962 on the aciduous diminishment accompanying a hellbent for leather run via culling to some unattainable idealized endzone of party purity:
As for Sen. Specter, he’s spent a Congressional career talking out of both sides of his mouth as a matter of course (from among an virtual encyclopedia of examples, a topically relevant one here), so there are virtually no expectations from ye old scribe of his demonstrating anything approaching a stiff backbone or core stances in any case. His announced party switch today is just the other bookend to the one made of convenience and expediency when he first successfully ran for an office back in 1965 (ref.).
time to go, did he ever hear of term limits? He is betting in 1 year (when state primary begins?) that the state, country, world will be buzzing with jobs, money, joy, full stomach, happiness. He wants to be on the team that was apart of causing it. He might get a wake up call, very shortly if things, get worse, in which I think he might not be electable

Not quite ivory, and certainly not ebony. They might as well just call themselves what they’ve become: A) Skinheads. B) KKK. C) Idiots. D) All of the above.
And I agree with Mike’s comment. Term limits. It all becomes about getting reelected. The moment they’re elected, they start planning their reelection. Efuckingnough!
