2008 Primary Challengers Wanted
Help us recruit Democratic primary challengers! Use our map or list
In 2006, we elected Democratic majorities to the Senate and House for one overriding reason: to end the Iraq War.
In May 2007, both the Senate and the House voted on amendments to end the Iraq War by setting a March 2008 deadline for removing combat troops. Those amendments would have passed if all Democrats had voted to end the Iraq War - but some pro-war "Bush Democrats" voted to continue the Iraq War forever.
As Democrats, we have every right to expect our Democratic Senators and Representatives to vote with us on the issues we care about deeply. And if they do not, we have every right to support candidates who agree with us in Democratic primaries against them.
There are two good reasons to support primary challengers. If we win, we get a better Member of Congress. But even if we lose, a competitive race often persuades the incumbent to change positions on the issue that fueled the primary. In 2006, two key anti-war challengers brought dramatic changes: both Jane Harman (CA-36) and Al Wynn (MD-4) voted for the war in 2002, but voted against the war in 2007 as a direct result of anti-war primary challenges by Marcy Winograd and Donna Edwards.
Of course, challenging an incumbent Senator or Representative is a huge effort. To run a competitive race requires finding an excellent candidate and a building a strong grassroots organization. Happily, the Internet lets us do both.
Use our map or list of Representatives who voted to fund the Iraq War forever. If you are represented by one of these "Bush Democrats," click on their dot and help us find a candidate to challenge them in the 2008 Democratic primary.
Together we can take back the Democratic Party from the "Bush Democrats" and end the war!
Update 1: Our benchmark votes are the Feingold-Reid Amendment (Senate 5/16/07) and the McGovern Amendment (House 5/10/07) because these are the "cleanest" votes on setting a deadline for Iraq. The later votes on the Supplemental (5/24) were more complicated and harder to use as a benchmark.

Why Not Go For The "Poster Girl" Herself??
There may be a real opportunity to send a more "Lamont-Sized" message this time around.
How do you think the Impeachophobes and LieberDems would react to a take-down of Pelosi herself -- specifically for the reason of failing to impeach bushcheney?
There is a unique politician, Matt Gonzalez, who could really "get 'er done" -- if he could be persuaded to make the effort. Perhaps he'd need to move into the district, but his resume makes him seem custom-made for this moment.
I would think just the thought of him running would send shivers into the bowels of the beltway. If he weren't on the opposite coast, I'd go drag him (kicking and screaming, if necessary) into the Dem Party primary myself.
Talk about a huge "takeback." Can anyone here "make it so?"
--
When the Speaker of the
When the Speaker of the House, and the Senate Majority Leader have their authority and powers usurped by the DLC/DCCC self-appointed and corporate-owned "leaders" in the Democratic Party, there is little that anyone can do to advance a true Progressive agenda.
It is not Pelosi or Reid who need to be sent packing, but the likes of Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, Evan Bayh, John Kerry, and the rest of the DINO corporate cowards who have betrayed the American voters.
John Kerry
I've got my issues with John Kerry but wasn't he one of the 18 or so Senate Dems that voted against this supplemental bill? As far as I know he did!
So did Hillary, but that
So did Hillary, but that doesn't change the fact that they are both members of the DLC. Their "no" vote on the Supplemental was a no-brainer because the Bill was going to pass anyway.
It's called pandering for political gain. DLC "centrists" are very good at this game.

Iraq
You are absolutely correct. I could not believe what I saw when the vote was tallied. The Dems. ran on the platform of ending the war. The opportunity was there for the taking and they knuckled under. Are we really this fucking stupid? I've pretty much lost faith in the whole system. If there's anyone who is not a politician right now it's congress and the President. We need to police our own ranks. Those who won't get in line and promote "The Peoples'" agenda need to be removed form office, and I don't mean vote them out. We need to throw them out, NOW!
The founding fathers were a remarkable collection of fellows. They had a vision for this country and this is not it. THIS IS NOT IT!
My son leaves for Iraq in June.
EXACTLY WE NEED TO "RECALL" THESE FAKE DEMS
THERE IS NO NEED TO WAIT FOR AN ELECTION. JUST RECALL THEM
I KNOW I AM WORKING ON A PETITION DRIVE AGAINST SESTAK
Find somebody
with a pair of balls who can stand up to the conservanazis. Obviously, most Democrats can't. No more money from me. Wake up Howard Dean and see if he still has a pulse. I hear they are going to change the name of the party to bu$h LITE. ;0
BUCK FUSH !!!
I could not agree with you
I could not agree with you more. I keep getting calls or emails from the different Dem organizations asking for money. Sorry guys, no more money from me until you prove your worth. The insubordination displayed by this congress to the voters who put them there is as bad if not worse than the Rubber Stamp Congress we just shook out. At least we had no question as to what their intentions were.
The Dems have no stones and I'm tired of waiting and hoping for them to grow them and the spine we need them to have to run this country. All I know is that with so many disillusioned Democratic voters, the reality of a viable Third Party is here in 2008.
BRING THEM HOME NOW. WAITING ONLY FILLS THE POCKETS OF THE WRETCHED, WICKED, GREEDY WAR PROFITEERS. Is your child's life worth that?
Life is not a comic book
All this talk about "balls" and backing down and selling out sounds very adolescent. Life is not a comic book. We will never beat the Republicans if we attack our own people at the drop of a hat.
What is "adolescent" about
What is "adolescent" about opposition to Americans and Iraqis dying for absolutely no reason? The American voters gave Congress a mandate in 2006: end the war and bring our troops home!
If our elected so-called "representatives" do not represent our wishes, the adult thing to do is call them out, chastise them, and replace them. It is not about Republicans or Democrats -- it is all about neoconservative corporate shills on both sides of the aisle who selfishly value their positions of power above American values and integrity.
This is not a freaking ball game, and "beating the Republicans" takes a back seat to beating the neoconservative war-profiteers in both Parties. We Democrats can not claim the moral high ground until we cleanse these anti-American demagogues from our own Party. Treating the current political crisis in the United States as if it were a sports event is the real "adolescent" mindset.
Our own people???
I am leaving the Dems and moving to the Independents. I am sick of the Republicans in Sheep's clothing that control the Democratic party.
I used to be a proud Democrat. Now I am just disgusted and depressed by the sucking up that I see the party doing.
It is the same "business as usual" dynamic employed by the wealthy white anglo-saxon male powers who control the nation and always have. Our so-called political parties are a hideous joke perpetrated on the sheeple who are kept divided against each other.
Marx was right.
And becoming an
And becoming an "Independent" will help solve the problem how? Who will you vote for, Ralph Nader? Or maybe like other "Independents," you will threaten to withhold your vote from all politicians? Yep, that'll show them you mean business.
Fighting for what you believe in from within the Democratic Party would be much more productive. "Independents" are represented by a lone neoconservative DLC politician -- Joe Lieberman -- and we all know that his political loyalties are sold to the highest bidder.
All that stands between grassroots Democrats and retaking our Party from the DINO neoconservatives is commitment, and the willingness to dig in for the long haul. The neocons have had over a decade to entrench themselves in both mainstream political Parties, and a single election (2006) will not reverse the damage. It will hard work, but when has that ever stopped patriotic Americans?
Gee Gavin, as a Green, why don't you go find a Green site...
where you can criticize Dems to your heart's content.
After all, it was your party in 2000 that gave us Bush and your party(Green)that has attacked many of our stronger Dems across the country--and you guys did all this on GOP funding.
Why don't you attempt to join those of us fighting the dipshit you put in office in Blight House.
For those of you who cannot find Mr. Green's post, it ended up being unpublished(invisible)for cause.
Gavin, I am a liberal, a fighting liberal. Despite your party's dispicable actions since 2000, we keep working at change. If you Greens has had your way in PA, we would still have Rick Sanctimonious in office. Take my advice--go somewhere else to bitch about Dems.
A mind once expanded can never return to its original dimensions.

Perry, look bro'.
Perry, look bro'. This is a team effort. When soemone on the team is not pulling their load they need to be disciplined, and yes sometimes thrown off of the team. We're there buddy. What we have is some people who profess to be Democrats but aren't. Sorry buddy but they need to be thrown off of the team. Not vote them out. Throw them out.
Our own people?
See, that's where you're missing the point. If they are not doing the will of the people, the majority who put them there, then they are not OUR PEOPLE. They are politicians. They are playing the games. We are the fools who have allowed them to get away with it over and over again.
It's all about ACCOUNTABILITY...something this nation has sorely lacked for years now. The longer we allow them to go unchecked LEGALLY and in our expectations of them, the further we find ourselves from the Democracy we love and hold so dear. I for one am not okay with being lied to...be it by a Republican or a Democrat.
Amen Bill
I just hope we get some real Democrats to step up and oppose these fake ones. I will send them money as soon as they have someplace to send it to.
R Dillon we don't have
R Dillon we don't have to wait for the election. They need to be thrown out now! Legally but removed from office we can do it. We just need the right leader.
You are right!!
Unfortunately leadership is something neither party has among its elected leaders.
In case you don't see it in the other node, best wishes on your son's safe return!!
Real Democrats for change
If we do not send a message to the democrats who are "DINO", we as voters will continue to get whatever they decide to give us, which is little to nothing. It was pointless to vote in more democrats, since their goals and actions are to continue the same dead-end republican policies for the Iraq war.
It wasn't pointless
to elect Democrats - we made progressive change possible. But it's going to take a lot more work to make change happen - we need to impeach Bush & Cheney, put the Republican Party out of business, and take back the Democratic Party from the DLC.
So let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!
Start with Nancy "The
Start with Nancy "The Sellout" Pellosi. Lets impeach her.
America is DEAD!
The country I knew had a government that listened to its people. What we have is a two-party system, that for all intents and purposes, they are both one and the same, except for the pretention of one being for the people, (otherwise known as Democrats) and the other for so-called smaller government and being fiscally conservative (these known as Republicans). Our voices can no longer be heard. They are being drowned out by Corporate America. I am a 62 year-old woman and quite frankly I have never seen such a disgraceful Congress, not to be outshone by the MOST DISGRACEFUL administration in our country's history. Our first clue should have been the outsourcing of the millions of jobs. The selling out of America. I really feel sorry for the future generation. What will you have left in the wake of this assault on our nation? I'm so tired of writing, calling, signing, etc. After doing all of that, the Democratic Congress just gave us the middle finger. We don't matter to them any more than we did to the Republicans. I'm old enough to say that I won't be around to see it, but my suggestion to you is to build a viable 3rd party to protect this country. Believe me, America is dead. God bless all of you, and God help America. I'm done.
Of the same opinion
Amen sister. At 61 years of age, I can only shake my head in sorrow. All those lies over all those years and what little good is ever done gets unravelled.
I quite believing in Santa and the Easter Bunny when I was a child, but it has taken me the last 27 years to finally give up my belief that a real and honest democracy can exist anywhere on this planet.
Marx was right.
We had the greatest workforce, now
there is an auction going on. It is in the Halls of the Congress, Senate and White House. WE are being sold to the highest bidder taking over our American companies for third world incomes. the cheapest worker will always be employed, it's just how low you can allow your soul to go.
THIS GOVERNMENT IS A HEARTLESS BUNCH OF MONEY GRUBBING ROBOTS WITH NO COMPASSION FOR IT'S PEOPLE OR RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE'S LAWS.

Whooaa Barbie Doll.
Priorities, PLEASE!
Bob: I contend that Democrats.com needs to prioritize its communications and organizatinal power in order to seek congressional redress of what Bush has signed into law via his latest Executive Order on May 9. This is extremely critical to democracy's survival. No one should assume that Bush and/or his regime will even relinquish power by January 20, 2009 as there now exits conditions under which a new "terrorist" attack will conveniently "justify" Bush's unilateral declaration of emergency martial law with a resultant suspension of the Constitution, deployment of troops into U.S. cities, round-up of security threats into Halliburton/KBR internment centers, and control under his command of all federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments, military personnel, law enforcement agencies, and private sector organizations until he and/or a private non-governmental parallel agency of his making deems his declared state of emergency to be over. And considering that this White House (p)resident has declared the war against terrorism to be a perpetual twilight struggle, it may be quite some time before we even begin to again see a Constitutional form of government with any semblance of congressional power. Bush's new directive bypasses the National Emergency Act and any congressional authority whatsoever. Please see my blog under DictatorshipisEasier.us for more details. After 9-11, we disagreed about Bush administration culpability, but I believe independent investigation now supports my assertions. I hope I am wrong here, but there has been a steady stream of secretive orders, new directives, government contracts, military exercises, and contingecy plans that suggest the worst. In the interests of preserving democracy in America, I believe that the priority issue among all Americans should be immediate demand that Congress nullify Bush's extra-legal attempts to impose conditions permitting him virtual dictatorial power. This first - then move on to matters involving possible candidate recruitment, possibe impeachment, future elections, etc. Until we can be assured that future elections are even possible, we had better use what power we have to redress these new Executive Orders that supersede Constitutional democracy in America.
This reminds me of the WWII
propaganda that Hitler was passing around in Germany before the genocidal halocaust of the Jewish People. I had to say it because it does sound like that's what is going on.
I was thinking the same thing about how the Martial Law was instructed on the Republican Convention night in 04.
Only this time it is even more dangerous because they have a thing against blacks, liberals, Democrats that don't go along, the poor, minorities, gay and lesbians, and a host of other issues they claim.
They want the 50's back people, and that schtick isn't gonna happen.
They want to dictate to us to work long hours for low wages at two jobs per person and poverty and healthcare issues be damned.
This is a travesty of the worse sort.
IMPEACH NOW, THEY HAVE TO BE REMOVED LIKE A CANCEROUS GROWTH.

Eating our own
If Democrats.com wants to put its energy into recruiting Dems to run against Dems in rural, normally Republican districts such as the 18th in Ohio (Zack Space), it might as well team up with Republicans.com
Sure, we all want to end the war but it won't be done just by demanding political "purity" of Space and other middle-of-the-road progressives in normally right-leaning districts. Is this a game? Damn right...it's called politics, and it's the only way we'll replace Bush with something better (hopefully a lot better) in 2008 and head off a McCain war against Iran or a Fred Thompson invasion of Korea.
You guys want the slim Democratic majorities in Congress to take wild (and foolhardy) leaps when what is required is steady progress, one step at a time. You need to stop picking fights with Democratic moderates and get out and work for a veto-proof Democratic majority. And if you can't do that, get out of the way of those of us working (maybe not as fast as you'd like) for progressive reform.
One question:
If voting for someone is against your best interests, why distinguish between parties when you're lopping your nose off?
Lootimaye, I've been
Lootimaye, I've been looking all over for you. Shoot me a reply, need to talk to you about someone to run against Dan Boren our Republicrat for Oklahoma.
For millions of traditional
For millions of traditional New Deal Liberal Democrats -- game's over. Our Party "leadership" has been usurped by self-appointed neoconservative "centrist" DINOs who neither represent us, nor care about anything but being re-elected by taking bribes from the same corporate interests who fund the Republicans. DLC "centrist" New Democrats are not "moderates," rather they are insidious Third Way neoconservatives masquerading as moderates.
Removing a cancerous tumor is always a painful process, but the ends justify the means. When our Constitutional way of life is threatened, partisanship can not be a consideration in applying a remedy. Replacing the neocons and political cowards in our Party with new Liberal Democratic blood is a patriotic and healthy exercise, and will be good for the well being of the entire nation. We are not seeking "political purity," but patriotic Middle American moral integrity.
Continuing with incumbent "status quo" professional politicians will only lead to more corporate fascism, and a further decline of truly moderate Middle American socially-Liberal and fiscally-Conservative values.
You may want to re-evaluate your definition of "progressive reform," or get out of the way of those of us who know what it means. As LootieMaye often says, "the only thing you will find in the center of the road, is a yellow stripe and dead skunks."
"...wild foolhardy leaps..." ?
It isn't 'foolhardy' to expect our newly elected representatives to do what they said they would do. It isn't 'wild' to vote against a wrong war. It doesn't matter how slim the majority is, the truth is the truth and it comes down to each individual, each voter and each representative to do what's right. It wasn't just the troops who were abandoned by Congress with the funding vote, it was the truth which was abandoned. Honest Democrats are angry and sickened because of that truth-betrayal and have a legitimate freason to pick a fight with the DLCers who sold us down the river. As far as your " ...slow progress, one step at a time...", that's exactly what has been wrecked.
I'm sick of these renegade Democrats!
Why do I get the feeling that these renegade Democrats, [Senators Dorgan, Conrad & Congressman Pomeroy] traded our young American Soldiers blood for the American farmers with relieve money and a hike in the minimum wage? I do feel that the entire renegade Democrats that vote for this war funding supplemental bill, sold-out the American Voters to give Bush his blank check for his War! WE DO NEED LEADERS WITH GOOD OLD COMMON SENSE, but all we have in Washington is this [culture of corruption]! It seems to me that I’m looking at the south end of a horse going north with these turkeys. Personal greed has got in their way of representing “WE THE PEOPLE”!
Congressman Robert Scott of Virginia
for the Senate Seats to change. He has voted right on all Iraq war issues and has stood firmly on our ideals whenever I reach him by phone. He does return calls also.
There are many here in Virginia who would do right by the people. Finances usually stop most advertisement and word of moutha dn proof of vote work for us.

My letter to Democrats.com
Here's the letter I just sent to Democrats.com:
I’m sorry, but I have no interest in this whatsoever. These Democrats aren’t “Bush Democrats,” they’re not pro-war, etc.
Many of these are Democrats who represent swing districts. They’re in seats they just barely have a hold onto. Some have a higher R registration than they do D.
I’m especially disappointed that you didn’t at least look at who these candidates are and who they represent before you went after them.
Nick Lampson, for instance, is in a district that is going to be hard to hold onto. Running someone supposedly further to the left than him will mean we’ll lose that seat.
I am so sick and tired of this circular firing squad stuff within the Democratic Party. This is the problem with Democrats – we get a little power and we start fighting among ourselves. How about strengthening our position by electing more Dem Senators and winning the White House first?
How about we get a stronger hold on the U.S. House and Senate and win the White House? These are all hugely more important than going after Democrats who vote with us most of the time. I’d rather have a candidate who votes with us 85%+ of the time (who likely represents a conservative district) than run a candidate who would vote with us 95%+ of the time – but loses to a Republican. The most important vote they take is on who will be the Speaker of the House. Having more candidates who are far to the left does nothing but give Congress back to the Republicans.
Why waste money on a contested primary when those funds could be used to ensure a Democrat holds onto that seat? Or that Democrats win other seats?
And no, I’m not a conservative. I’m actually quite liberal. But we have to realize that not every district is liberal. Not every district represented by a Democrat is liberal.
I grew up in Lampson’s district and I now live in the Portland, OR metro area.
Swing Districts are solidly anti-war
so are solidly Republican districts.
Just look at the polls - 2/3 of Americans want to get out of Iraq as soon as possible.
According to Sgt. David Moore of the 82nd Airborne, 95% of the troops want to get out of Iraq.
This is about more than anti-war
I wish people would get it into their heads that this was about more than being anti-war.
And while 2/3 of Americans want us out of Iraq, we don't agree how or when. And we don't agree on funding issues such as this one. Believe me, there are districts represented by Dems that are happy their Rep voted yes on this bill.
This vote is spun by Republicans as being a vote for troop funding, timber payments for rural counties, and a minimum wage increase.
Had Lampson voted against the bill, but it still passed, immediately there would have been reports going out from the Republicans that he'd voted against funds for the troops and minimum wage increases.
Large parts of his district have high populations of people making minimum wage, or just above. There are a lot of teens who go directly into the military from high school. It wouldn't surprise me if at my high school more kids went into the military than did into college.
It doesn't matter that this is a spin by Republicans. Haven't we learned that they are extremely good at the spin game? And the average voter down there isn't going to know the difference.
I am so sick of this circular firing squad crap. But then again, it's not like we have anything important to do in 2008, right? We can just waste time and money going after those that agree with us most of the time.
Guess we should all be preparing for a Republican White House and Congress in 2009.
SURE WE NEED TO SUPPORT NEW CANDIDATES TOO BUT THOSE WHO VOTED 4
YES WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO SUPPORT NEW CANDIDATES AS WELL TO WIN MORE SEATS BUT WE ALSO NEED TO GET RID OF CANDIDATES WHO HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE REPUBLICANS / NEOCONS IN DISGUISE.
CLINTON IS ONE OF THESE NEOCONS PRETENDING TO BE A DEMOCRAT. EDARDS AND KERRY AND BUSH AND GORE ARE TOO.
SURE GORE DID A GOOD THING ALERTING US TO GLOBAL WARMING BUT WHAT WILL HE DO IF HE GETS ELECTED? NOTHING BUT SUPPORT HIS BILDERBERG FRIENDS.
ITS NOT A DEMOCRAT REPUBLICAN THING ITS A BILDERBERG CANDIDATE THING.
FOR EONS THE RICH / POWERS TO BE HAVE BEEN RUNNING THE WORLD WETHER THEY ARE LISTED AS DEM REPUB ETC
WE NEED CANDIDATES WHO AGREE WITH US NOT THE WEALTHY CORPORATIONS OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY BILDERBERG
CONGRESSMAN JOE SESTAK "NOT" ON THIS LIST YET HE VOTED TO FUND?
I SURE AM GLAD I DIDN'T SEND CONGRESSMAN JOE SESTAK (PREVIOUSLY ADMIRAL SESTAK) ANY DONATIONS IN THE LAST QUARTER. AND HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO USE VOTVETS.ORG TO TRY TO GET FUNDS FROM ME. I AM A VIETNAM VETERAN AGAINST THIS STUPID WAR IN IRAQ.
***ADD JOE SESTAK TO THIS LIST TOO!!!!
MY V.A. PENSION WON'T GO HIS WAY THATS FOR SURE.
I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP FUNDING "SENATOR BARACK OBAMA" AS I FEEL HE IS OUR BEST CHANCE (SO FAR) TO GET US OUT OF THIS WAR IN A "RESPONSIBLE WAY".
****I SURELY KNOW CLINTON EDWARDS GORE BUSH KERRY TO ALL BE "BILDERBERG CANDIDATES"****
"BILDERBERG" IS THE GROUP THAT CREATES THESE WARS TO RAISE FUNDS THROUGH THEIR "WAR MACHINE CORPORATIONS".
Sestak voted to end the war
on 5/10 (the McGovern Amendment) - that's the vote we're using as our benchmark because it was the "cleanest" vote.
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll330.xml HE VOTED TO FUND
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll330.xml
A CLEAN VOTE IS NO FUNDS TO CONTINUE WAR
SESTAK WON'T GET ANY MONEY FROM THIS VIETNAM VETERANS PENSION
HE SHOULD HAVE VOTED AGAINST THIS FUNDING.
I KNOW HIM PERSONALLY TOO AND HAVE SPOKE WITH HIM MANY TIMES BUT AS HIS MOVEON LIAISON I TOLD HIM WE WILL BE AGAINST HIM. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO VOTE TO FUND. HE SHOULD HAVE NOT VOTED IF HE WANTED AN "OUT"
SURE HE VOTES ON A BILL HE KNOWS WON'T PASS
THAT ISN'T A "CLEAN" VOTE
I WORKED POLLS FOR SESTAK TOO WHAT A FOOL I AM
I STOOD AT HIS MOMS HOME WARD WITH MY SIGN" I AM A VIETNAM VETERAN AND I KNOW HOW OUR SOLDIERS FEEL TO BE IN A WAR WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN"
I WAS THE "LONE" DEMOCRATIC GREETER WITH 5 REPUBLICANS DRESSED IN SUITS AND TIES AND THEY ALL LOL AT ME SAYING THE HAD THE VOTES AND I WAS WASTING MY TIME.
HOWEVER, MANY VOTERS LOOKED AT THEM AND THEN LOOKED AT ME AND MY SIGN AND WINKED AT ME ON THE WAY OUT OF THE VOTING POLL.
WHAT A FOOL I WAS.. SESTAK NEEDS TO GO AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE WON'T STAND FOR!

MESSAGE TO MY (I THOUGHT) DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN
DEAR MR. SPRATT,
I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH YOU AND(APPARENTLY YOUR NEW BOSS) PRESDENT BUSH'S GOALS OF REPUBLICAN DICTATORSHIP IN THE UNITED STATES, ABOLISHMENT OF THE ANNOYING, SUPERFLUOS GADFLIES WE CALL "CONGRESS," AND ERADICATIONS OF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WHO IS OPPOSED TO KISSING OUR WHITE AMERICAN BUTTS! (BY THE WAY, I GREW UP IN NEW ORLEANS, AND I NEVER LIKED THAT PLACE ANYWAY, SO I'M GLAD W LET THOSE COCKROACHES DROWN. THEY DESERVED IT. I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE OUR PLANES BOMB IRAN, ESPECIALLY CIVILIANS.
P.S. CAN'T WE STOP AIDS IN AFRICA MORE QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY BY NUKING THE ENTIRE CONTINENT? WE CAN GIVE HALLIBURTON THE CONTRACT TO DRILL NEW OIL WELLS IN SOMALIA. THEY ARE GOOD AMERICANS WHO REALLY DESERVE THE MONEY.
P.P.S. THE NEXT TIME TO LOOK UP FROM KISSING HIS BUTT, PLEASE CONGRATULATE W ON RAMPING UP ANOTHER COLD WAR WITH RUSSIA. I GREW UP HATING AND FEARING THE RUSSIANS, AND THINGS HAVE BEEN REALLY BORING SINCE THE BREAKUP UP THE SOVIET UNION. MAYBE WE CAN GIVE THEM FOREIGN AID TO KICK-START THEIR NUCLEAR PROGRAM! (WE NEED TO CREATE MORE ENEMIES IN THE WORLD BECAUSE OUR MOVIES AND TV SHOWS ARE RUNNING OUT OF POLITICALLY CORRECT "BAD GUYS.")
Tom, I know you're angry,
but please,
All caps is the equivalent of shouting.
Thanks.
I looked at your list of "targets."
I was shocked to find my Congressman Vic Snyder on there. WTH? You are targeting these Representatives because of one vote? That's stupid! Vic Snyder was the only one of the Arkansas Delegation to vote against the IWR! He's the most progressive of all Arkansas' delegation. Marine Vietnam Vet, Doctor, and Lawyer. He's also on the Armed Services Committee. I'd like to know know the h*ll davidswanson from VA thinks he is to decide that MY Rep needs replacing. Up on all the Arkansas political scene?? If you want to target someone in Arkansas in a Primary, how about Sen. Mark Pryor? He's as DINO as it gets! "Gang of 14," Lieberman's his best pal, and I could go on and on. Get your priorities straight, would ya? Sheez!
