Vichy Dem Bush enablers- the list for primary challenges
If we did it with Lamont against Lieberman, we can do it with other challenger candidates who can be depended upon to uphold their oaths and protect the Constitution.

Here's the list of Bush enablers/Constitution shredders who should be targeted for primary challenges in their next elections:

Vichy Democratic Senators:
Evan Bayh (Indiana);
Tom Carper (Delaware);
Bob Casey (Pennsylvania);
Kent Conrad (North Dakota);
Dianne Feinstein (California);
Daniel Inouye (Hawai‘i);
Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota);
Mary Landrieu (Louisiana);
Blanche Lincoln (Arkansas);
Claire McCaskill (Missouri);
Barbara Mikulski (Maryland);
Bill Nelson (Florida);
Ben Nelson (Nebraska);
Mark Pryor (Arkansas);
Ken Salazar (Colorado);
Jim Webb (Virginia). - Yes, If Jim Webb is scared of being called "soft on terrorism" after his military service, then he doesn't deserve a second term. if he truly believes Gonzo should get to decide whose phone calls get listened to, then he didn't deserve his first term, because the vote on this would have been the same if Allen had won.

Vichy Democratic Representatives:
Altmire PA
Barrow GA
Bean IL
Boren OK
Boswell IA
Boyd FL
Carney PA
Chandler KY
Cooper TN
Costa CA
Cramer AL
Cuellar TX
Davis AL
Davis, Lincoln TN

1. Sadly, I'm not sure how replacing them will do any good
We were told over and over again how 2006 was such an important election. So we did our jobs and voted and what do we get? Four of out fucking freshmen Democrats (Webb, McCaskill, Casey, Klobuchar) voted for this piece-of-shit bill.

We're probably fucked no matter who we put into power. There was a time when Democrats used to have guts. Where the hell did they all go?

2. Who is going to be better on this issue from Arkansas, Nebraska, Louisiana
Edited on Sun Aug-05-07 02:13 AM by Heaven and Earth
,Virginia, Missouri, Indiana, and Florida?

I'm all for primary challenges,for everyone, every year, but I think the problem is the political culture in these states, and the political culture nationwide, and I don't know how to fix that particular problem.

3. Klobuchar had decent liberal competition
in Ford Bell last year but Schumer and the DSCC declared her their candidate before the primary even took place and had Barack Obama do fundraisers for her. She was clearly the loser of their debates and looked like she was lost on most issues other than spouting whatever centrist talking points she can find.

That she is now inept at helping to stop Bush seems no surprise to me.

6. these are the Dems who voted to expand Bush's power to wiretap,
and even worse, gave Gonzo the power to decide when it's OK to wiretap, not the FISA court.

5. Thanks for the list. I'm posting it on my wall, hoping for the day
when these traitors are kicked out of office.
