who is challenging sensenbrenner?
this is one neo-con I would love to see go down in flames. Has a serious challenger or challengers come up against him yet?

1. I don't think he's a neocon.
Sensenbrenner is more of the old-school conservative. I think he's only voted with Bush about 75% of the time. Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't evil.

My guess is that he would be nearly impossible to beat in his section of Wisconsin. There hasn't been a competitive race for the House in WI for years, it is all gerrymandered to hell.

2. yah you're probably right about him not being a neo con
its just his actions the last couple of months have stood out against the back drop of the other fascists. :)

Hes just a good old fashioned conservative drunk on power. :)

Bryan Kennedy, a friend of a friend, and a graduate from my Alma Mater!

Check out his TV ad!

Neo-con or not, the son of a bitch must go down.

5. I know...
But his district is all the repuke rich suburbs of Milwaukee. It's going to take a miracle to defeat him. They're not the religious type either, they're the racist "nuke Iraq" and "steamroll the niggers" types. I loathe nearly that entire district. I got many glares driving around there with my "Why Does Bush Hate Freedom?" bumper sticker.

8. I live in his district and I'm not a nazi scum sucker
My impeach Bush yard sign has been stolen three times.

Classifying the entire group as scum suckers is not a very democratic stance. Maybe you're the nazi.

10. You aren't alone P. Milwaukee suburbs like most suburbs
in the country are largely republican, but it isn't as though there are no democrats, and it isn't because everyone is some sort of raving Bradley Foundation supporter of the Neocons.

14. So, does Bryan Kennedy stand any kind of a chance, then?
Have you seen his ad?

I know it might be impossible, but I campaigned for Kerry in Tosa last year, and I was actually surprised at the balance between Kerry/Edwards and Fascism/Cronyism yard signs.

Of course Tosa is not the main problem. That lies in Waukesha and Ozaukee conties. And Shorewood actually has to be a plus for us.

7. I don't think that ANY district should go unchallenged
We need to take the fight to them, no matter WHO they are.

11. Sensenbrenner is the one that walked out on Conyers hearings on something
Turned the lights out, and the mics off. I think it was the hearing on election fraud. He is a big asshole.

12. This guy was also heavily involved with those involved.......
....in the Arkansas Project as either a participant or as an enabler. If he's not a NeoCon, he's about the closest you can get to being one.
