Landrieu holds SS meeting to counter bush appearance in S'pt...Baton Rouge
the following is from http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com

What the hell is Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) thinking? She's holding a townhall meeting on Social Security tomorrow in Baton Rouge, the same day President Bush is holding his Bamboozlepalooza event in Shreveport.

But Landrieu's event is open to the public, no tickets required. I'll bet her staff hasn't even put together a Landrieu-loyalty oath yet or done background checks on people who want to ask questions. Talk about wet behind the ears. They clearly don't know how these things are done.

also http://landrieu.senate.gov/global/index.cfm for info about Landrieu's town hall meeting. I hope a whole bunch of Baton Rouge Dems are able to attend

2. I know.....and I started to mention that in my post, but
am really conflicted by whether it would be better to show up at her town hall meeting to support her stance on SS...it seems a direct challenge to bush, who is appearing in S'pt today, or to show up and protest her support of the Bankruptcy bill.

4. I wouldn't protest during a time that she is doing "good".
Find another forum to protest her BK Bill. Just my opinion though.

5. Tired of Anemic Democrats
I don't get it. They just keep giving in on these bills. I know they are painted as obstructionists, but that is all that is available to them in this position, so make the case, if Republicans push onerous bills that hurt us all, obstruct, obstruct. Democrats are corporate sell-outs just like Republicans. They know who butters their bread. I hate it, but it is true.

7. I would suspect that you would find a Senator Jindal...
quite different from Senator Landrieu. If you can find a more liberal Democrat in the state that can not only beat Landrieu but win the seat, more power to you.
