		<description>Democrats welcome Specter, but should true progressives welcome him?

I am a bit concerned that Specter switching into the Democratic primary will prohibit new blood being infused into the Senate. In particular, Congressman, Joe Sestak. He is a military vet, and a true progressive; that combination is hard to find.

See how important organizations rate Specter on his voting history below.

		<description>Never much liked Specter and certainly don&#039;t trust him.
Don&#039;t like the way he states one thing and then votes another way.
Like with  his vocal opposition to Bush nominees... We need progressive Democrats, not more Yellow Dogs.</description>

		<description>I think from this day forward Specter should wear a dunce cap so we Americans can pick him out quickly on the floor of the Senate when we&#039;re watching C-SPAN2. It would make things easier. Maybe give one to Joe Lieberman to wear too would also help.</description>

		<description>While I applaud anyone coming to their senses, I don&#039;t completely trust Specter, and until he earns his stripes, I wouldn&#039;t recommend any of Democratic officials doing so either.

		<description>Specter&#039;s spine is about as strong as wet cardboard. He &quot;starts&quot; to show firm resolve and then he crumbles, he did this related to Bush&#039;s actions many times, but ususally he resolve only lasted about a day. Democrats can control him by threatening a primary challenge if he goes off script. Afterall a primary challenge is why he left the Repubs, he can hardly go back now. He will fall in line.</description>

		<description>A cardiologist &lt;em&gt;saving lives&lt;/em&gt; on a website that advertises anabolic steroids.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
1. Early effects are seen as changes in mood and euphoria: there is an increase in confidence, energy and self-esteem, with enhanced motivation and enthusiasm. There is also diminished fatigue, sleeplessness and an ability to train through pain. Libido may be decreased, but is more often increased, sometimes markedly.  Irritability, anger, agitation and a &quot;strange edgy feeling&quot; are commonly reported. 

2.  With larger doses or after taking anabolic steroids for a longer time, there is a loss of inhibition and a lack of judgement, with mood swings or grandiose ideas. Prolonged users become suspicious, quarrelsome, impulsive and more aggressive. 
 
3.  Severe effects manifest when these aggressive feelings increase to the extent that violent, hostile, antisocial behaviour develops, meriting the descriptive title, well known in the steroid-taking community, of &quot;roid rages&quot;. These rages can result in property damage, self-injury (including reckless driving or crashing cars), assaults, marriage break-ups, domestic violence,  child abuse, suicide,  attempted murder or murder. 

Several psychiatric disorders have been reported in association with anabolic steroid use since the first case was described in 1980.  The full list includes schizophrenia,  hypomania and mania, delerium,  depression,  suicide, and paranoia.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/aug19/corrigan/corrigan.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;



&lt;blockquote&gt;The major side effects of anabolic steroid use include liver tumors, jaundice (yellowish pigmentation of skin, tissues, and body fluids), fluid retention, enlargement of the heart, (a precursor to heart failure), high blood pressure, atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, (a precursor to coronary heart disease) elevated cholesterol levels, heart palpitations, heart attack, and finally steroids can impair the kidneys leading to kidney stones and kidney disease.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Quite clearly I am not faking it and also under bildobaggins which I posted under here until the fascists tried to limit my free speech.&lt;/em&gt;

Limited your free speech?  Would that be anything like every conservative blog site not allowing progressives to post?  Most like redstate ban you within the hour if you post something contrary to their point of view.  The only conservative site I know that allows progressives to post is Politico and that&#039;s only because they are trying to maintain the illusion that they are &quot;fair and balanced&quot; even though everyone knows they are the Fixed News of the Internet.</description>

		<description>No. I don&#039;t wipe butts. I have saved a life. And I don&#039;t believe you&#039;re a doctor---doctors usually appreciate the work of caregivers and see it as part of the whole caring process.</description>

		<description>I think that the Democratic party needs to make it very clear to Specter that if he wants their support in 2010, he&#039;s going to have to vote like he is a Democrat and not like he is a Republican.

Personally I don&#039;t trust Specter.  What&#039;s to stop him from switching back to a Republican if he is re-elected?</description>
