No Filibuster, No Re-Election for Blue State Senators

I'll keep this short and bitter. Every god damned blue state senator who failed to sign on to the Alito filibuster MUST be fought in the primaries and replaced. The Democratic party has failed the rank and file members.

It is time to take back the Democratic party from the right wing, loser hacks who have been fumblingly, failingly controlling it and the candidates put forward. I can't believe how many people tell me that they believe the DLC and right wing democrats are really Republican operators.

IN the OpEdNews.com/Zogby people's poll I just ran in Pennsylvania, about 29% of the respondents were liberals or progressives. With 51 percent of the respondents being democrats, that means that 58% of the democrats are liberal or Progressive. We ARE the majority.

If a stab-us-in-the-back senator in a blue state failed to suppor the filibuster we MUST find strong, tough candidates to run against and BEAT them. We must raise money for candidates, even if they are not running in our states.

We, the Progressives and liberals must define the issues. We must tell our elected officials what to do. This was the last straw. We need to draw up a list of these traitors to democracy and take them out of the political arena. I bet they'll end up on some corporation's payroll.

We need leaders who will go to congress and not be cowed by the seniority system. They represent constitituents who are just as important as the senior members. So F**K the seniority system. F**k Barack Obama for selling out the people who put their trust in him.

Here's the list of the "Democratic" senators who betrayed us.

Akaka (HI), Baucus (MT), Bingaman (NM), Byrd (WV), Cantwell (WA), Carper (DE), Dorgan (ND), Inouye (HI), Johnson (SD), Kohl (WI), Landrieu (LA), Lieberman (CT), Lincoln (AR), Nelson (FL), Nelson (NE), Pryor (AR), Rockefeller (WV), Salazar (CO)

Ad Bob Fertik, of Democrats.com, said, "There was no reason for this betrayal. We only needed 40 of the 45 Democrats to sustain a filibuster."

Some of them hail from solid Red states. We can't blame them. But the ones from blue states and purple states should be treated like wanted criminals and removed from their positions of trust and power. It's not having people who call themselves democrats when they fail us when it matters most. These lowly cowards should have treated this fight like a war and supported the filibuster even if it meant taking an election bullet. I believe the action would have gained them votes. It would have forced Bush to submit a candidate who would actually be good for the US, unlike the unworthy liar he's appointed.

I would say that we are now in a state of war, but the right wing has been at war with the american people for a long time. Today, we learned of the traitors in our midst. We know what to do with traitors. And we need to act fast.

Hustice Stevens was born in Apr 1920. GW Bush is President until Jan 2009. Wonder if any of the Dims "did the math" on that?

Don't you just love the thought of Diane Finestein having to debate Cindy al-Sheehadi in a primary battle?

The left is becoming such a freak show. It would be scary if it wasn't so funny.

Justice Stevens was born in April 1920.

Not many democrats think they are liberal, but they are preconditioned from union and media. They are predestined democrats that do what they are told is the right thing to do. Sheeple...

[GOPRaleigh]

[hschliemann]

do we need any more evidence the extreme left wing is nuts? these people are rabid extremists...

[Tall_Texan]

He's saying 51% of respondents are Democrats (which probably means it's the usual slanted poll, even for PA), and 29% of the respondents classify themselves as liberal or progressive, so the % of Democrats in PA who the author claims are "liberal or progressive" should be 57%.....

And yet it is STILL irrelevant because both Pennsylvania senators are Republican (well, sorta). If they really had a majority, they would have a Dem senator to get angry at...but they don't. LMAO.

[MNJohnnie]

Why thank you. Great tag line but I think we may want to keep a few around as Court Jesters and such. They are so amusing to watch don't you think?

Oh yes. The Dummies are already fund-raising to oust their traitors in the primaries: TAKE ACTION!!! Take the pledge: $25 for the 25! (who voted NO on cloture) http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=275748&mesg_id=275748

You aren't kidding!! I snuck over there with bio hazard suit on and sure enough they are already soliciting $25 for the 25! Loons, every last one of them. I really do see a split in the parties coming real soon. We are at war and they appear to be at war with each other.

Why do all these left wing blogs think it is necessary to use foul language?


Because at their core they are a group of very over aged adolescents. Look at them, 40 plus years old and they act and dress like their are dirty 19 year old hippies. Thats what drug use over time does to people.
