Pandagon recently wrote a hilarious post on Jim DeMint attempting to twist Senator Specter's flip to Democrat as a victory for the GOP. The hysterical entry describes how DeMint, a South Carolina senator, attempts to see the glass half full, stating "Republicans are seeing across the country that the biggest tent of all is the Tent of Freedom”.
All the while, a senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe, is left hanging with a bunch of extreme right wingers, according to Pandagon. She is not as positive as DeMint, insisting that this switch over is devastating for the Republican party. Snowe, a moderate Republican, lamented the extremist views of the Republican party and their exlusionary policies towards moderates. For now, Snowe is sticking with the party. Although it is a hostile place for moderates, she still believes in sticking with the essence of the party, and thinks that those currently representing the party have abandoned those principles.
Reading the Pandagon opened my eyes to information that objective news wouldn't provide for me, not to mention the post was hysterical. Posts like these open up channels for information on ridiculous senators and the truth behind major political news, that wasn't available for the average person not linked with anything but an internet source in the past.
