Call up Rahm Emmanuel and Nancy Pelosi n tell them

STOP FILLING UP THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WITH REPUBLICAN LITES AND NOT SO LITE


It's the reason I wont send one penny to the DNC or DCCC.

I only support candidates I know are really GOOD democrats, not like those who
voted for immunity for the telecoms, and have consistently voted withe the pugs
like the blue dems -

Kucinich is right. They have become one party...and it aint ours,.

Ask the switchboard for the Congress-Critter of your choice! (Everyone can call Pelosi as Speaker and Hoyer as Majority Leader...)

1 (800) 828 - 0498
1 (800) 459 - 1887
1 (800) 614 - 2803
1 (866) 340 - 9281
1 (866) 338 - 1015
1 (877) 851 - 6437

Please, make a few calls today

3. Rahm was the one who chose the candidates for 2006 and pushed perfectly good real dems
out, like Tammy Duckworth, the Iraq war veteran who lost both her legs.

She had the votes, the people liked her, she had financial support, but Rahm wanted a repug leaning candidate so he puhs the party further to the right.

Come to think of it, what state does he represent?

We should find a GOOD Dem to run against him, and push him out

and "No Impeachment Pelosi", also.

It's time the people took over our own party and got heard.

We voted them in in 2006 and what has changed???

Just the names, not the votes.

4. A couple of things -
(1) Rahm is no longer head of the DCCC.

(2) Rahm is supporting Obama (secretly from under his desk as one reporter described) because he wants (has been promised?) his senate seat. Rahm helped engineer the race baiting mess so Obama could win South Carolina. Is Obama a right leaning Democrat?

5. You and I know what he is and it doesnt begin with a D - can you say
mole ?

Who is a dem to run against Rahm

We have to start making lists...

that or we make a third party based on Dem Edwards Populist 80 page platform,
which the two of them are now spouting.

Edwards set the issues for the candidates, but the media owned by the "New World Order" wants O.

Now why would that be?

7. i think you mixed up duckworth with christine cegelis?
just a guess.

"Christine Cegelis is an IT consultant and was the 2004 Democratic candidate for the 6th Congressional district of Illinois. She ran in the Democratic primary for the same seat in 2006 and lost to former Army Major Tammy Duckworth. Some Democrats, including Cegelis, believe that Senator Dick Durbin and Congressman Rahm Emanuel supported Duckworth over Cegelis in the 2006 primary. <1>

"In 2004, Cegelis received 44.2% of the vote against U.S. Representative Henry Hyde, a sixteen-term incumbent. This was more than any challenger had received since Hyde's first run for Congress in 1974. In 2005, Hyde announced that he would retire at the end of his next term. Cegelis' strong showing is seen as largely due to the increasingly diverse demographics of DuPage County.

9. hmmm- wikipedia may be re-writing history - there was a tv doc
on Tammy Duckworth and what went on. Tammy is the army gal who lost her legs
isn't that correct? She's the one it was about - forced out the same way as
Edwards by their own party.

11. oh, right. but rahm forced out christine cegelis for tammy. he thought
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 10:33 PM by orleans
she'd be more electable because she was a vet and her politics were, apparently, not exactly liberal.

so he forced christine out of the running by backing tammy in a primary--even though, as wiki said, christine had done extremely well when she went up against the puke in a prior election. liberals/progressives were really pissed off about the way he got rid of cegelis.

he's like the guy who fucks around on his wife, gets divorced, marries the girlfriend and then goes and fucks around on her too. should she be surprised?

on edit, read this again:
"In 2004, Cegelis received 44.2% of the vote against U.S. Representative Henry Hyde, a sixteen-term incumbent. This was more than any challenger had received since Hyde's first run for Congress in 1974. In 2005, Hyde announced that he would retire at the end of his next term.
