He dumped his fellow soldiers, he dumped his Commander in Chief, and now he's upset at being dumped.

Boo Hoo Whiney Baby.

I just love that Schumer went behind his back and told people not to donate to him.

We should all say to Mr. Hackett:

"Welcome to the Republican Party"

Lord knows, the Ohio Republicans have had a bit of a struggle lately. With him and the black Attorney General who's running for governor, maybe we can put Ohio back FIRMLY in the (R) column, instead of sweating out the crap that the idiots in Cleveland (Kucinich AND Tubbs-Jones) tried on us back in '04!

They know he lost in a special election where dems showed up to vote in large numbers, republicans didn't. In an off-year election, he would get his butt handed to him.

Paul Hackett is Cindy Sheehan-lite. He's made such rank comments against Bush and the war to achieve near treasonous status.

Anyway, the Dems. have made a mistake pulling Hackett. His sheer flamboyance as a candidate would have brought out the Democratic base in Ohio to vote for him. Sherrod Brown, whoever that is, will inspire no one. Count this seat as now a safe GOP seat.

Aside from his position on Iraq, everything I have read about this guy seems to indicate he would be a conservative. I think I even recall him saying that illegal aliens in this country should be deported. I wonder if Dean had a word with him about that...

"First, my government misused and mismanaged the military in Iraq, and now my own party is afraid to support candidates like me."

LOL!

"For me, this is a second betrayal," Hackett was quoted as saying.

Fair's fair. He betrayed his fellow soliders, after all.

"I can't f*** believe this," one angry liberal wrote on a popular Democrat blogsite. "

Nice vocabulary!

I thnk Hackett was a Conservative in disguise and Schumer didn't want to take the chance.

Hackett said Democrat leaders have been calling his donors and asking them to stop contributing to Hackett's Senate campaign.

"For me, this is a second betrayal," Hackett was quoted as saying.

Only a Democrat weevil would trust these back-stabbing, lying dumb butt "crats" by believing anything they say or swear to.

Hacket why are you surprised or shocked that you have been "gilflerted" by this bunch of slime balls?

Didn't you know they devour their own being the cannibals they have proved themselves to be on every issue in doubt?

Wake up and smell the "carrion"!

Maybe Chuckie found some derogatory information on Hackett's illegally obtained credit report and was worried it would hurt his chances of winning.

Supposedly he is pro-2nd amendment, but is very anti-business.

He is also pro-homosexual marriage. I guess he's a hybrid of Buchanan and hillary.

No where for a passionate liberal to turn, is there? Time to start a third party, Paul.
