Now we know who to blame for Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, Joe Miller, and, of course, Christine O'Donnell:
Armey: Toomey Triggered 'Conception' of Tea Party
Former Rep. Dick Armey (R.,Tex.), whose Freedom Works organization has helped the Tea Party grow, said Tuesday in Philadelphia that the movement was conceived the moment President George W. Bush endorsed Sen. Arlen Specter (then-R, now D) over Pat Toomey in the 2004 Republican primary.
Conservatives have long been angered by that endorsement, viewing it as a triumph of political maneuvering over principle. Specter went on to defeat Toomey by 17,000 votes out of more than 1 million cast.
To put it another way: If Pennsylvania voters want to send a message that they approve of the Sarah Palin and Rand Paul and Christine O'Donnell taking over the GOP, they should vote for Pat Toomey. If they want to validate the rise to power of lunatics like Sharron Angle and Joe Miller, they should vote for Pat Toomey. But if they want reasonable and constructive (not to mention, sane) leadership in Congress, they should vote for Joe Sestak.
Help Joe Sestak shut out the tea party in Pennsylvania -- send $5 or $10 his way today and America will thank you tomorrow!
