Arlen Specter a "GOP MODERATE".
That's funny...
From the linked article:
"I’m thinking he’s warning these folks that they might be caught."
That's not the way it reads to me. It's more the guy warning them that if they say anything stupid in a moment of misguided passion (think of all the things we still say about GW Bush, and he's not even in office any more!) he will have no choice but to turn over their info to those who want to make life uncomfortable for them even though, in 99 out of 100 times, they really didn't mean any harm because it's necessary to find that 1 in 100 that DOES mean some harm.
But everyone is entitled to their own opinion...
I mean, here's a true story. I was riding on a bus once. Bus driver said some really nasty things about how he & his kin (from Georgia or Alabama or thereabouts, I don't recall) would take care of Bill Clinton, given 1/2 a chance. Now, clearly, he was joking. But what he didn't know was that a uniformed person, who had a duty to turn him in for his comments no matter how unlikely he really was to ever do anything like that, was right there and, sure enough, the bus driver apparently got raked over the coals. Turns out he was just a snot-nosed punk who didn't like Clinton that much but would never, ever have the brains or the guts or anything else, mind you, to actually do anything about it.
But, as we all know, the Secret Service doesn't care about that... they cannot afford to! Their policy, for good reason, is zero tolerance.
