Congressman Wexler was a total Dem rockstar!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

Smart, passionate, great control of facts, refused to be boxed in by others' agendas.

GREAT, GREAT job

1. I've always liked him

I have sent letters to my congressman before asking him to shake Wexler's hand on my behalf.

[OzarkDem]

2. Rockstars?

Some of us have higher standards.

Political rockstars don't do health care reform or get us out of Iraq. They just pose for the cameras.

[shadowknows69]

4. Shitty day?

[OzarkDem]

11. Higher standards

Health care reform and jobs have always been the issues I've held in greater importance than any candidate.

Someone has to be the grownup and advance a policy agenda.

[shadowknows69]

22. Hmm, seems to me both of those concerns have been pretty thoroughly covered

by Obama and his ideas for them. Then, you'd know this if you took the time to listen to him and not just regurgitate talking points like a republican parrot.

[OzarkDem]

26. and Obama has a record

of not doing much in the area of public policy. All talk, little action. Check his record.

[shadowknows69]

31. Oh, sound public policy like the IWR vote? Kyle-Lieberman? Voting not to ban cluster bombs?

That kind of policy?

[OzarkDem]

37. Like Obama's record

which is even worse.

[shadowknows69]

38. I'm sure you have proof pending on how it's worse so I'll wait

[lisa58]

32. you made me laugh - thanks

[BlooInBloo]

5. lol! We can always count on OzarkMcGrumpypants!

:rofl:

[Gore1FL]

8. In this case...

..."deservedly slap Harold Ickes around a little" needs to be added to your list.

[OzarkDem]

10. Sorry, turning our country around is more important

than attacking fellow Dems.

[Window]

24. Tell that to Hillary.

[cliffordu]

39. LOL "Yes, Alex, I'll take Bullshit for twenty dollars......"

[MarjorieG]

12. He's on the judicial and for impeachment, and getting a challenge as a result.

He worked with the Governor to get us Paper Ballots. That's big.

[LiberalAndProud]

15. Are there any Democrats you do like, (beyond Hillary, of course)

[babylonsister]

18. What will you do after next week? Inquiring minds... nt

[Window]

19. Like whom for instance, Hillary???

:rofl:

[Bicoastal]

27. No, we need FIGHTERS, not rock stars!

The sort of fighters who get us INTO Iraq, defend Bush, deny they defended Bush, then call their anti-war opponent a liar.

They fight bravely and steadfastly against their own party. Others? Not so much.

Huzzah for fighters!

[IsItJustMe]

33. Someone piss in your Corn flakes?

[KittyWampus]

3. he pissed Harold right off

[Bigleaf]

6. I LOL when Tweety told him it was like a Perry Mason moment the way he handled them.

He was a great advocate for Obama, that's for sure.

[KittyWampus]

29. I hope his exchange with Harold gets put on Youtube

[woolldog]

7. he had me on the edge of my seat.

[FSogol]

9. He moved his name up on the VP list. n/t

[leftofcool]

13. He looked stupid yelling like that

[babylonsister]

20. Did you mix Ickes up with Wexler? nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. Not unlike the inarticulate State Sen. Joyner, who was full of platitudes,

and short on the facts. You people need to get over it. You made a powerplay, and were summarily smacked down. I think party unity was the recurring theme of the day, despite Ickes, and DU should follow suit.

[jeff30997]

14. Wexler!!!!

Yes!

[99th_Monkey]

23. I agree and here's why ...

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

25. You are cracking me up! Are you defining infinity-

referring a thread within a thread within a thread . . . until we all disappear down a whirling wormhole into a black hole? Is that your dastardly plan ?

[99th_Monkey]

42. Only my evil twin, who keeps stealing my passwords.

Actually it was my OP too, at top of that thread, just so you know..

[sfam]

16. I got thrills up my leg listening to him...

Well, OK, no wood or anything, but he totally RAWKED.

[99th_Monkey]

17. My respect for Wexler seems to grow by the week.

I loved his exchange with Iches when he'd just devestated the guy, and Iches at first started to respond, but then cut-away to
him stammering for a response, then just gave up and motioned to go on to next speaker, but Wexler pipped up and asked, "Did
Mr. Iches have a response?" ... that was a classic moment worth of many YouTube views in the weeks to come.

[Tarheel_Dem]

30. Wexler started the fight, and Sen. Levin delivered the knockout punch

to Ickes. "You're talking about a fair reflection of a flawed primary", or something like that. Mr. Ickes came off looking like the jerk he is.

[progetto]

36. Yes, kudos to both Wexler and Levin.

Both are passionately concerned for doing right by their constituents. Ickes is just a Clinton hack.

[SoCalDem]

21. He needs to take Nelson's senate seat

Nelson's a DINO anyway:)

[FrenchieCat]

34. Aye!

[Tatiana]

35. Talking back Florida from the right wing!

[WatchWhatISay]

40. He always has been

He and Sheila Jackson Lee have always been my favorites - I have to adopt my politicians since this area always votes crimson red.

[cbc5g]

43. We're lucky to have him in the Dem party n/t

[ruby slippers]

44. I don't have any posts left yet? What happened to Corinne Brown from Florida?

[Imagevision]

45. Now if Wexxler can get McClellan to tesitfy under oath... that wouls shake up the WH.
