Specter warns of tea party 'take over' By: Andy Barr May 18, 2010 03:10 PM EDT
As voters considered his fate throughout Pennsylvania, Sen. Arlen Specter warned on Tuesday that without him Democrats may not be able to fend off a tea party takeover.
What you see happening across the country is that the tea party organization has taken over, Specter said in an interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell.
We know what happened to [Sen. Bob] Bennett [R-Utah], what happened to [Florida GOP Gov. Charlie] Crist, Specter said.
They drove him out of the Republican Party, Specter said of Crist, now running for the Senate as an independent in Florida.
Specter fled the Republican Party after polls showed the conservative grassroots support behind former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) would likely be enough to propel him to a primary win over the longtime senator.
Specter has acknowledged he switched to the Democratic Party, at least in part, to stand a better chance of preserving his seat. But on Tuesday he suggested that he had changed to remain one of the only men standing in front of a tea party revolution.

Benedict Arlen speaks!
TIME TO GO, BYE BYE!!
Coming from a man who joined a party that has been taken over by marxists.
It’s called a “REVOLUTION”, King George!
I don't know what they call this in Scotland, but in America we call this democracy.
That's why you were driven out of the GOP, McSphincter, you self-serving bast@rd!
What an ego! He alone can stand AGAINST the Tea Party? And how does he presume to DEFEAT the Tea Party’s efforts?
What you see happening across the country is that the tea party organization has taken over,
As if that was a bad thing. Just shows how out of touch he is.
“Sen. Arlen Specter warned on Tuesday that without him Democrats may not be able to fend off a tea party takeover.
It’s like some kinda dam democracy! (Arlen should be scared.)
Ha, ha... buh-bye, Arlen!
Tea Party Takeover translated from Newspeak:
Return to the Consititution.
Arlen, trying to scare all the little kiddies, “Oooo, the mean ole “Tea Party” monster...boogey, boogey, boogey!”
A threat to career bureaucrats and talentless elitists of ALL stripes.
From your lips to Gods ears ole arlen.
Many Tea Partiers care about the government takeover of health care and the growing deficit. Both are featured in this video shown to Senate Republicans today. Check it out:

Good Bye!
Go Flyers!
Go Away Arlen!
How many lumps would you like with your tea Specter?
Can’t have those pesky citizens getting involved, can we Senator. They should just STFU, keep paying their taxes, and never question what you do with it.
How delusional can he be?
