The Voter Anger Monster doesnt pick off incumbents randomly

Had to chuckle when I read Mike Madden’s bit on the “voter anger monster“. He makes it sound as if the GOP incumbents (even in Utah!) are running scared from a vengeful Frankenstein who has turned on its master. But that’s not true at all.

The Voter Anger Monster is not exactly going after the Mike Pences and the Jim Demints of the world, now is it? Its going after the Crists, McCains, and too-liberal-for-Utah Bennetts. And it’s not entirely unwelcome among conservatives.

It is an unhealthy party that lets people [the ones who aren't always leading with fresh ideas] linger around for too long. Case in point: no less than 13 GOP members (a dozen of whom you’ve never head of) have been kicking around DC since the big wave of ‘94.

But try as one might to imply it was a GOP “monster” that turned on poor ol’ Sen. Bennett, it’s actually the ruling incumbents Democrats who are much more at risk. For every RINO “targeted by the Club for Growth” there is an Arlen Specter and a Harry Reid and a Barbara Boxer playing defence, too. Make no mistake – this “monster” has an ideology.
