Recent party-switching Sen. Arlen Specter, a registered Democrat decades ago, is pinning the carpetbagger label on second-term Rep. Joe Sestak, his declared primary challenger for next year. In a campaign that will surely get nastier and more personal before its done, that’s just one of many charges and countercharges piling up.
That said, Sestak doesn’t have much of an accomplishments record yet, and, as a career military man, there’s no guarantee he’d be more liberal than Specter on a number of social issues.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
