Sen. Arlen Specter Switches to the Democratic Party

If 40% of the American people hold certain views, shouldn't they have a political party that stands up for those views in a democracy? Granted, they will lose most national elections, but I don't hold with the notion that Conservatives are now required to abandon their beliefs.

The Democrats were out of sync with the American people for the last 30 years, but I don't recall many suggestions that they should change. They kept on fighting for what they believed in which is exactly what Republicans should do.
