B-1 bump

[OldFriend]

How nice, offer nothing constructive but personal attacks on your primary opponent.

[RobbyS]

Every incumbent should have a strong primary opponent, just to keep him honest.

[Crowcreek]

This is going to bring all the diehard Newt-fruits out of the woodwork.

[ambrose]

I'm rooting for B-1 Bob, and it really has nothing to do with ideology... I did not appreciate Dana's shrill attacks on McClintock.

[Delphinium]

I did not appreciate Dana's shrill attacks on McClintock.

I agree, and if I could remember a couple other things he has said lately that reminded me of a democrat.

[joesnuffy]

Dana Rohrabacher stumped for Ahnold...who will of course return the favor... no doubt....

[Pa' fuera]

Check the last audio clip on this page for a healthy dose of Rohrbacher Hispano-pandering - utterly sickening

Why doesn't Dornan run in his old district? Afraid of little Loretta Sanchez-Brixey?

[churchillbuff]

Dornan sees Rohrabacher as a lazy incumbent who is weak on national security issues and especially lacking in support of Israel.

[churchillbuff]

Rohrabacher should pour himself a tall drink. Regardless of his frontrunner status, the next 80 days are sure to be painful. The Dornan family is energized and, with them, politics is personal.

[churchillbuff]

Dornan has never lost a Republican congressional primary.

"Every incumbent should have a strong primary opponent, just to keep him honest."

I'm constantly reading posts here where the poster is berating the Republican Part as being a bunch of of wusses for not using their majority status to fullest advantage, but then when a man like Bob Dornan comes back on the scene, here come the negative comments.
You think the 'Rats are still pi$$ed over the Florida vote count? I'm still livid over how Dornan was plainly cheated out of his congressional seat with virtually no support from his party to right a terrible wrong! And I'm not even a Californian!
Bob Dornan has gonads. If we had a few dozen more in congress of his caliber, the democrats would be blubbering for their mommies. GO B-1 !!

"Bob Dornan has gonads. If we had a few dozen more in congress of his caliber, the democrats would be blubbering for their mommies. GO B-1 !!"

Amen to that. Dornan can't be bought, and has never run from a fight. We need 10 more like him.

Dornan spent his entire career praising and promoting immigration, esp. from Central America, and pretending it would make no social and political difference. Reality bites, as they say, and the new immigrants kicked his ass out of office. Now, in a classic act of Republican denial, he is still pretending what happened didn't happen cause talking about it would mean talking about race issues and immigration, and has turned to cannibalize a fellow Republican. His party doesn't matter, nor does his country, all that matters is that B-1 gets a place, any place, at the trough. To be fair to B-1, virtually all Republicans and public conservatives practice the same sort of politics. It stems from their cultural inferiority complex.

[pogo101]

Yes ... that's nice ... and completely fails to answer my question. Here it is again: Why doesn't Dornan run in his old district?

[churchillbuff]

Every incumbent should have a strong primary opponent, just to keep him honest.

[pogo101]

You're getting closer to answering the question, but you're still not there.

My question was, Why doesn't Dornan run in his old district?

The question you appear to have answered (by stating that every incumbent should have a strong primary challenge) is, Why IS he running in ANOTHER district?

Let me know when you want to answer my question.
