As a Democrat, I am tired of our party being led

[rateyes]

by a bunch of chickenshits protecting blue dog cowards.

I voted today in the Georgia Democratic Primary for the real progressive against the DINO Jim Marshall, who has voted with the 'pigs on every piece of major legislation. However, Marshall will win, with the help of the DCCC. Our party doesn't stand on principle. Congress is nothing but an incumbent protection party.

Conyers won't impeach. Pelosi is complicit. Makes me ill.

:puke:

1. This race really confuses me.

How'd this guy, Marshall, win in the first place? Is the district really comprised with over half black voters? Then how'd he win?

Why WHY did Obama endorse anyone here, especially Marshall?

I really don't understand this race. Any background you might be able to give would be appreciated.

14. Most vulnerable Democrat (if you can choke down calling him that)

in Congress. Conservative district. African-Americans vote for him because he's a Democrat, and whites vote for him because he's votes like a Republican.

[Captain Hilts]

18. How did he ever win the primary????

[rateyes]

20. He was a popular mayor of Macon, GA...

...and, ex-military. Takes care of Robins AFB (but, his Repuke opponent is retired from Robins).

2. I'd love to argue with you.

But... well... *sigh*

[rateyes]

5. You and me RE!

16. Glad for the company.

:toast:

6. I lived in Marietta when Lester

Maddox was governor. I thought then that there could not possibly be anyone that bad in public office. Then, GWB was elected and I decided yes, there is someone just as stupid.

[emilyg]

7. Yup.

[Captain Hilts]

13. You have my full sympathy. This is an ugly repeat for you, isn't it? nt

[rateyes]

17. I had my pic taken with him in his office when I was 8 years old...

...didn't know anything about that racist bastard at the time.

[Captain Hilts]

19. That's a riot1 Frame it and put it on your wall. What a time capsule.

Remember when he stomped off the Cavett show?

What a racist shit he was.

[rateyes]

21. Yeah. Ax handle Maddox....

Sad that the fucker was a Democrat.

[Usrename]

22. He used to ride a bicycle backwards.

[rateyes]

23. That's so he could see where he has been.

That man was always looking backward.

[baldguy]

8. When Obama is President, that will change.

Obama doesn’t do cowering.

[Captain Hilts]

11. Yeah, but he does avoid fights at times. nt

[devilgrrl]

9. The left has been completely compromised

Money talks - bullshit walks.

[Indenturedebtor]

10. There hasn't been true representation of the left in 30 years

Our gov't has been completely compromised.

Freedom is now the right of the rich to do whatever they want to the poor.

[Captain Hilts]

12. Ain't that the truth...
