In a blast email sent out yesterday Michael Steele shows why Arlen left the party. It's clear that the Republican base that Steele sees as his audience is so far out of touch that their sanity is questionable. Steele is blind to the problems with the party that Specter notes. He can not see how far to the wing-nut side of the spectrum the Republicans have moved. Then he proceeds to demonstrate just that. Steele characterizes the Obama administration as "radical leftists". He calls Specter a "craven politician desperate to keep his Washington power base". He refers to Obama's agenda as a "destructive agenda of income redistribution, health care nationalization, and a massive expansion of entitlements". He even references Benedict Arnold.
I can only hope that more of the thinking Republicans will see what their party has become and either correct its course or leave it to sink in its own bile.
