THE ENEMY WITHIN: BLUE DOGS AND NEW DEMS
Others are taking off with what I wrote about in February 2009 about the prez. I am going to concentrate in this journal, for some months to come, on Blue Dogs and New Dems, the enemies within our own party. I am inspired in this effort by many things - the most recent being the defection of RAHMDOGGY Parker Griffith of Alamama. You see, Obama's "main guy" Rahm spent hundreds of thousands of our dollars to get this fellow elected. He has bucked Democratic leadership on nearly all of its major domestic initiatives, including the stimulus package, health care legislation, the cap-and trade energy bill and financial regulatory reform, per Politico.

Our Brilliant Obama Lt. General supported this RAHMDOGGY for a total DCCC pot of $1,076,369.58 - up to August 2008.

My God, what a chess player Rahm was!


More on this fine Democrat, oops Repuke, from a DUer:

and here is the gentleman's own House innertubes page:

We all talk about what unifies us as a party, in the liberal sense. I feel it is time we started to look at what DIS-UNIFIES us.

COMING SOON: ANOTHER RAHMDOGGY - watch this space

1. we have a true progressive dem running against our long entrenched repub do nothing
in Riverside CA area. He almost pulled it off in last year's wave election, missing by about one percent or so. Unfortunately the national dems did little to nothing to help. It will be more difficult next year without a celebrity candidate at the top of the ticket (Obama or Palin - both celebrity candidates), but at least we have some interest from the national party now.

6. Why do you think Rahm is against Dean
-- Because Dean picks Democrats who are democrats and Rahm wants those who lean republican. I think the worst day of Obama's presidency was when he made that S.O.B. his chief of staff or what ever he is...he is out for himself, the banks, the corporations and the lobbyist and big business not one thing does he do for the people of this country. WHY IN THE HELL IS OBAMA BLIND TO THIS GUY. KICK HIM OUT AND GET DOWN TO RUNNING THE COUNTRY TO HELP THE PEOPLE AND NOT BIG BUSINESS.
