“For what is the Tea Party to be blamed for?”
They blame us that Mike Castle isn’t in the Senate (who would have just replaced Arlen Specter as the resident liberal republican), they blame us that Charlie Crist isn’t in the Senate (who is now a democrat), they blame us that David Dewhurst isn’t in the Senate (instead of that infernal Ted Cruz), they blame us that Bob Bennett was removed from power, they blame us that Richard Lugar was removed from power (he endorsed DEMOCRAT Michelle Nunn in GA this year), they blame us that we dared to challenge Olympia Snowe, causing her to retire, they blame us that McCain, McConnell, Murkowski, Graham, Alexander, Hatch, Bennettt, Lugar, and Cochran were all primaried, draining precious funds and causing them to go to all those rubber chicken fundraising dinners.
There is no end to Tea Party blame. But the Establishment of course, is blameless.
I think it was Cantor that really got under their skin.
