No Filibuster, No Re-Election for Blue State Senators
OpEdNews.com ^ | 1/30/06 | Rob Kall

Posted on 01/30/2006 5:14:01 PM PST by LdSentinal

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.

I posted a comment over there. Take a look and tell me if it passes for the incoherent rantings of a deranged DUmmy.

Sounds like an angry camper.

Remember, don't drive angry.

I do starting worrying when I see words like this "we know what to do with traitors." How long before the left in America gets violent and are we "conversatives" ready for it?

Don't sweat it. These wusses are scared of guns and will head for the hills like the girly-men they are when we break out our stash.

Y'all do realize FR sounds the same when McCain gets avant garde. Yet when the chips are down he votes like a republican.

At least twice a week I watch people that have the same opinions flame, trash, fight and try to do each other here. They become enemies but share the same root idea's over the one indifference. They must defeat the heretic and conquer. Its quite fun.

Translation: These elected Senators should have voted against the wishes of the people who elected them to office and against their better judgment in order to please those who are so angry and hate filled that they are oblivious to the whole election process.
No wonder he can't grasp the concept that his party keeps losing elections, he has contempt for the election process, the voters and the American system of free elections.

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)

It should be noted that Baucus, Bingaman, Byrd, Dorgan, Johnson, Landrieu, Lincoln, Nelson, Nelson, Pryor, Rockefeller and Salazar represent states that went to Bush in 2004. So, aren't they technically RED states? So then, isn't this entire rant against the Hawaiians, Cantwell, Carper, Kohl and Leiberman? Hawaii is still shaking from electing a Republican governor, Wisconsin took all night to go to Kerry and Lieberman is the McCain of the Democrats so it makes sense they wouldn't vote with the herd.

The more you examine this, the sillier the whole tirade gets.

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

Because the dems are so sensitive and tolerant - NOT!

I was a democrat until about 1995 but Bill and Hill cured me of that disorder.The left-wing morons are driving more and more people to the republican party every time they open their mouths.It's gotten to the point where only a socialist wimp could support a democrat.

You know, as moronic as these people are, I give them credit for one thing. They know what to do with traitors. They actually teach us that there is no negotiating with these kind of people and ideologies.

Wow, that DU thread had a post that was removed by the moderator. That must have been REALLY bad (or it said something like "Republicans are the majority, get over it!")

Actually a rather large number of us are hoping for it. We will not initiate but will be more then happy to respond to it. These scum owe the country a blood debt for what they did some 35 years ago. Only by staying within the law do they avoid being called to account. They can take the gloves off any time. We wish they would.

That's were things are headed, aren't they? Political assassination by the Leftists, or their allies the Islamists, with deniability for the power-brokers. It just smells like this is the direction that things are heading.
