Glimmer of Hope? Tea Party Pressure Begins Melting GOP
So the teabaggers start having a real effect. Senator Bob Bennett (R-UT) is out of the race for the upcoming election. Bennett was eliminated from nomination in the second round of voting at the Utah Republican convention. If Bennett isn't conservative enough for these people (seriously, Bob Bennett, isn't conservative?) then they're liable to push their candidates so far out to the right that none of them can win. I bet they will win in a few places but mostly I think they're going to unseat electable Republicans with lunatics that will be beaten handily by their Democratic (or, I would prefer but know will never happen, independent left wing) opponents.

Bob Bennett? The same guy who's against abortion, civil rights, immigration, progressive taxation, and health care? He's too liberal for the tea baggers? Wow.
ReplyDeleteThat's what's so amazing about this. They're not just attacking the so called moderates, they're attacking their most conservative members and replacing them with hard right wingnuts. The teabaggers are making the GOP into the snake that treads on itself.
