Specter is a Democrat. What does he care about Republican voters “cannibalizing” the GOP establishment? He should be pleased that the Tea Party, in his view, allowed the Dems to pick up seats in Delaware, Nevada, and Colorado.
Exactly! If the MSM and liberals were so convinced that the Tea Party movement was inconsiquential and is now dead, why do they have to keep beating it, bringing it to life and pronouncing it dead again? Because they first want to try and ignore it. Then they want to marginalize it. Finally, they are afraid of it and what losses like Lugar's represent.
They have a feeling, but won't admit, the country is awakening on the right side of the bed. How can they change that? They announce how stupid and small and insignificant it is while also warning of the impending doom the conservative movement will have on this nations thriving economy and fiscal responsibility if it ever does start to influence elections.
