Would a Republican by any other name still smell so bad?

I just read the funniest article in the NY Times about Arlen Specter. As a native PA'er I have always disliked Specter. He has always been bad on labor and disrespectful to women and women's issues. Last year when he pulled a Leiberman and became a Dem my feelings didn't change.

Now anyone who reads this and knows me knows I am not a Republican or remotely conservitive. However, I do honestly believe having cowardly democrat majority is really no better than having conservative leaders. The problem with all politicians, Republicans, Democrats, or so called independents is the system. I don't think you can be an honorable person in politics any more.
