Today Arlen Specter said goodbye to the Senate, and in doing so he showed himself to be a bitter, defeated old man. I suppose such is the fate of political opportunists.

ADL is Showing its Progressive “Junk” Again, Issues Statement Supporting START

Posted on by Jeff Dunetz

I am of the opinion that the START treaty is bad for America.
