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 Donnelly IN Edwards TX EllsworthIN EtheridgeNC Gordon TN Herseth Sandlin SD Higgins NY Hill IN Lampson TX Lipinski IL Marshall GA Matheson UT McIntyre NC Melancon LA Mitchell AZ Peterson MN Pomeroy ND RodriguezTX Ross AR Salazar CO Shuler NC Snyder AR Space OH Tanner TN Taylor MS Walz MN Wilson OH

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 |

,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.
