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.

Where is the Curly Bill pic? (now that I’ve FINALLY seen the movie)
I cannot stand this man!!!!
I’ll bet Brooks never imagined that the people playing the roles of the contemptuous aristocrats in real life would be his fellow liberals (For that matter, he probably still doesn’t realize it).
We should be so lucky!!
So, how is Specter going to fend off those evil Tea Partiers?
He says the Dems can’t do it without him.
[Arlen goes into mandatory retirement. May many of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle join him soon.]
Libs must get very frustrated trying to attack a “movement”. I’m proud to be a part of the American Revolution II.
Libs are very frustrated because it doesn’t fit their paradigm.
“Where’s the leader that we can attack? Every group has to have a leader making decisions for the group!”
I hear they’ve got some really nice Rest Homes in Philadelphia...
I love this line:
“If we’re not careful, if you don’t field the strongest candidate — frankly, like Arlen Specter — they’re going to take over,” Specter said of the tea parties
If this guy weren't so pathetic and desperate, he'd actually be funny!
“What you see happening across the country is that the tea party organization has taken over,”
...Oh My God!! Liberty loving Americans trying to take back their country! Andrea! What are we going to do?
REAP THE WHIRLWIND ASSHOLES!
That man is DESPERATE !!!
That would be called “elections” Arlen. Hope he wins today so he can lose in November.
“And how does he presume to DEFEAT the Tea Party’s efforts?”
I’m sure he and his fellow Democrats are already working the schematics for forced labor camps. That’s the only way they can stop people from getting pissed off.
That’s the whole point, Arlen...
