Hoyer Admits: Tea Party Spurs Members To Consider Retiring

By Sean Higgins     
Tue., April 13, '10    5:15 PM ET 



House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters today that the Tea Party movement is making some members of Congress mull retirement.

“Do I think the negative atmosphere that has been created by the Tea Party and by others certainly goes into the thinking of members?  I think it does.  I think you have to honestly point out that it does,” he told reporters Tuesday.


That's all the quoting I'm going to do, as the story is only six paragraphs long.  The rest is at:

If it does, that's a good thing.  And I include most of the Republican Old Guard in that too.
