Default Hooray for Arlen Specter!
Quote:
Republican Arlen Specter drew on what he said was a quote from the late Senator Barry Goldwater, when he complained that "Government ought to be kept off our backs, out of our pocketbooks and out of our bedrooms."


That makes one senator from PA who uses his brain before engaging his mouth. Thank you, Arlen, for speaking out against the Marriage Protection Amendment.

Default A for Arlen
The title is more word play than accounting, but still, I give the senator of my former state an A for taking this stand against bigotry. It is much appreciated and will not be forgotten.

Arlen always seems to me to be the type of person who can manage to hold onto some integrity in politics, and I think he genuinely cares about people, all people. Thank you Arlen!
