Political Switch Hitter

Arlen Spector changed political parties.

This is fine. In the United States, you can change your mind. There is just one little problem associated with this change. Arlen was voted into office as a Republican and now that he might lose his seat, he turns his back on the people that voted for him. Do you think it should be legal for an elected official can change his political party? He can vote as he chooses but he should be voting in the manner that his constituents voted him into office would like. It is naive to think that our congress really has the best interests of the common man in its heart.

Let me know your POV on this.
