I had no knowledge before I read it of the statistics involved. and I agree with the comment on listening more and talking (shouting?) less. That was a fascinating post.

The fact is that there is no such book or paper. All great leaders had principles that they rarely if ever wavered from. Specter, like all moderates, is a political creation where they stand for nothing and everything all the time. They lack leadership and never make a hard choice about where they stand. They exist to get reelected and to give support to the popular side of everything. Politicians like Specter befuddle me. Republicans nominated moderate supremo John McCain and he was trounced. You would think Specter would get the message that going more to the left will mean certain defeat for the Republican party. I guess Specter lives in a fantasy world where if Republicans go more left, that independents and democrats will flock to the Republican side. Fat chance. Reagan repeatedly espoused smaller government and conservative virtues and that drew in conservative democrats and made the party a big tent. He didn't shift in the wind to try and pick off Dems and independent voters with middle of the road pandering. Hey small business owners! somebody has got to pay for national health care, social welfare, and government largess. Since you are rich(Ha Ha), you must accept the burden of supporting those that are not. Just keep doin' what your doin' and Uncle Sam will take care of all of it for you.
