Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Instead of trying to actually fix the problem, why not have the workers get rear ended up by someone else“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

How Specter's Defection Could Make It Harder to Confirm Pres. Obama's Judicial Nominations
Does Arlen Specter's defection from R to D strengthen the President's hand in Congress? Perhaps overall but not on judicial appointments because breaking (the equivalent of) a filibuster in the Senate Judiciary Committee requires the consent of at least one member of the minority. Before today, Specter was likely to be that one Republican. Now what?

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

Apparently he still against card check... I think he just wants to claim credit for the new EFCA.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Specter lost his seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee when he switched parties. This wouldn't have happened if he hadn't switched parties and he still would've been available to provide the one GOP vote needed to get an Obama judicial nominee out of committee. Can't you read?KH FOR OWNER!
