Truthout - Democratic House Officials Recruited Wealthy Conservatives
Read this special report about the DCCC on Truthout! It confirms pretty much everything we've thought about the DCCC and Rahm Emmanuel.

2. Welp, look at it this way..

.. We have something like 2 or 3 times as much money in the Congressional election coffers than the ReTHUGS do for the first time in....... ... a long ass time.

And we didn't do too shabby in the last election!



We may be taking their money.. but Rahm must be doing something right.


Rahm Emanuel

"In May 2004, a former candidate for the New York State Legislature named Cynthia Pooler founded November Victories and Democrat Unity, online forums for new candidates who were running for Congress as Democrats.

"Before you knew it, candidates started talking about the difficulties they were having with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic leadership," Pooler said.

According to Democratic candidates who ran for House of Representative seats in 2006, Rahm Emanuel, then head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, took sides during the Democratic primary elections, favoring conservative candidates, including former Republicans, and sidelining candidates who were running in favor of withdrawal from Iraq."


FUCK YOU, YOU ASSHOLE!!!

We're never going anywhere as a society when fascist jerks like this asswipe have any say in the matter.

6. More from rahm's little red book
"Many of the candidates that Emanuel helped elect have joined with a group of self-styled conservative Blue Dog Democrats and have cast key votes with Republicans and stymied Democratic efforts to end the occupation of Iraq and the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program."

Hard to tell from the pukes, isn't he?

7. Actually, I think it has worked out very well for Rahm
He gets continuation of the war and other policies beneficial to his class and the status quo.

WE get more dead soldiers, more looted Treasury, more tyranny...

"Chicago politics is a family.If you didn't go into the city and kiss certain rings, you were not given certain resources like Political Action Committee lists and donor lists. Cegelis' success hurt some egos and the party didn't like their lack of control," Spidel said."


Th boys didn't like their lack of control.
