“Lindsey Graham and Olympia Snowe came out today saying that Specter’s decision was due to the hostility moderate Republicans are feeling from the more conservative aspects of the party.
“You haven’t certainly heard warm encouraging words about how [the GOP] views moderates,” said Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, one of the few remaining moderate Republicans in the Senate.
Snowe said the party’s message has been, “Either you’re with us or you’re against us.”
Her frustration was shared by Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), who slammed right-wing interest groups for pushing moderates out of the party.
“I don’t want to be a member of the Club for Growth,” said Graham. “I want to be a member of a vibrant national Republican party that can attract people from all corners of the country — and we can govern the country from a center-right perspective.”
“As Republicans, we got a problem,” he said.”

"Other moderate Republicans acknowledged they, too, have been approached about changing parties. Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, the Maine Republicans who along with Specter provided the three pivotal votes for Obama's $787 billion stimulus legislation, both said Tuesday they have been approached. Neither would comment about how recent the overtures were, although Collins said she's been asked roughly four times over her 12 years in the Senate to consider becoming a Democrat. "It's something I would never do," she said.
Snowe called Specter's decision "devastating news" for Republicans, particularly Northeastern Republicans who have almost vanished in the Senate over the last decade. "Many Republicans feel alienated and disaffected from the party," said Snowe. "It just helps nourish a culture of exclusion and alienation." Snowe recalled former Sen. James Jeffords switch from being a Republican to an independent caucusing with Democrats in 2001, a more dramatic switch that flipped power from Republicans to Democrats in the chamber. "Frankly, the party never woke up from that event," she said.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), a prominent conservative voice who was John McCain's staunchest supporter in his 2008 GOP presidential campaign, warned that the party has become regionalized in its mentality. "We have to find places in the party for people who couldn't win in South Carolina," he told reporters."
Remember that specter promised he would never change parties just two weeks ago... liberals lie. If goober graham does not want to be a small government, pro growth Republican (which is what Club for Growth is all about), if he thinks that he can redefine "center-right" as capitulation... such as bigger government, amnesty, higher taxes, his call for investigations of torture and the many other liberal stances that he and those like him embrace... he is WRONG! It is obvious that we Conservatives have the power to run off one of the most liberal Republican Senators in office... what is left for goober to do? I'll tell you what... he will wait for mcnasty to give him marching orders to surrender to reid.
I want all of these rinos out. Keep taking up for liberals like you do every single time you make some smart arsed remark to me... and you can leave the party with them... for all that I care. I am fed up with moderates... because there are no "moderates" in the Republican Party... only Conservatives and liberals... like snowe and collins and graham and mcamnesty and voinavich etc etc etc... no more!
