Not Even In Congress Yet, And Already Selling Herself On K Street. Shame on Lori Edwards!
You know, I always said the Democrats would be just as easily bought as the Bush Republicans, but that doesn't make it any easier on my stomach. Howie Klein:
Or, you might want a different kind of candidate from one who isn't even in Congress yet and already selling her ass to K Street whores who represent Countrywide Mortgage and Morgan Stanley. How about making a donation today to the grassroots candidate for the seat, Doug Tudor? You can do it here.
By the way, if you can't quite remember who Allen Boyd (Blue Dog-FL) is, please recall that when George W. Bush wanted to push his bill to kill Social Security as "bipartisan" he only managed to find one "Democrat" to co-sponsor it. That's Boyd, the fella bringing Lori Edwards around Washington to meet all the lobbyists. Boyd is on the Budget Committee and on the Appropriations Committee. He's taken in $1,048,609 from the financial sector-- but not because they're buying his votes; only because he's so handsome and debonair.
Politicians selling out!!
I'll alert the media.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
A member of the new generation--not the least bit ashamed of being a whore.
She's just tryin' to be a "success".
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
...you no longer even have to be elected to jump on the gravy train. Great. One more DINO whore for big business. A pox on all their houses. Shame is nonexistent these days in Washington.

ALL these fucking politicians/congresspersons
should be removed from the office they were elected
to once they join this fucking cult organization.
once they join they give their full allegiance to
the K-street and not to those who elected them.
they have defrauded their constituents...CRIMINAL!!!!
Call a cop.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
All that's missing is the artwork to go with it.

will fellate for seat in congress.
I'm sure she's had her knee pads for a while..
be kind of cool if a few creative folks with a camera got dressed in their finest Pimps'n Ho's regalia ( a la Billionaires for Wealth Care) and greeted the guests outside ...

Allen Boyd.
Really? Seriously?
This is obviously some strange use of the words "handsome and debonair" that I wasn't previously aware of.
Heh heh...look at her other sponsor. C&L's progressive darling...Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Keep havin' faith in politicians, rubes.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
And folks wonder why I keep saying we need to take a serious look at third parties. :)
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
The democrats told me that the rivers will run red with the blood of our newborns if you dare look at a third party. If liberals can't allow the Dems to stab them in the back, the GOP wins... or something like that.
Whatever you do, do not even consider voting for a 3rd party. You may get used to vote with your conscience, and lord knows that is the last thing we need. Next thing, we may start requesting responsibilities from our elected officials, and that is a slippery slope down to Democracy. Do you really want to live in a future like that? Where politicians have to earn their votes via successful policies and not via corporate whoring?
For keeping our feet on the ground.
!
... but what is her excuse for the bad rug burn in her knees?
.
and cheap too. She's going to do great in DC!
just Wow, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I might have wondered what took her so long!
Thanks for keeping on top of this C&L.
I didn't think Wasserman was one of them . . ?
When it's time for re-election, they'll blow anyone.
Whores without principles.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
I'd be curious to know her reasonings for this. I really though I was already as disillusioned with the Democratic party as I could be. Guess I was wrong.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
Don't worry...the disillusionment will pass. Then comes the cynicism. After that, you play with your grandchildren and it's all good.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
The grandkids will be so enthralled with my stories of what life was like back in the days of abundant food and water, breathable air and prosperity. Then I'll send 'em back to their pre-school boot camp to learn how to be good patriotic soldiers for God.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
... next election cycle vote with your conscience and be done with it. When the Dems start sh*tting bricks in 2010 when they lose both houses, liberals should just tell them "it is just not working out, we should see other people..."
At this point, it seems an easier proposition to make 3rd parties of the liberal persuasion viable, than to force the Dems to actually give two sh*ts about any sort of liberal agenda.
history.
Not everything has to be thought of as being the outcome of a feel good movie. We need to understand that change, the real kind not the one used as marketing gimmick, takes time. Momentum must be built first, starting at a local level... making local green (or socialist even) parties viable, then move on up in the food chain.
The electoral value proposition by the Dems hasn't really changed since Carter, and it can basically be summed up as: We're not republicans and we will take care of that in the next election cycle, we promise.
to the extent that even Diebold or SCOTUS cannot overcome the groundswell, we give the movement a big grand beginning. It's doable, and it's non-violent, at least from our perspective.
We allowed the SCOTUS to determine an election.
We allowed war to be waged based on a lie.
We allowed the SUPPOSED "most dangerous man in the world" to escape unscathed from the supposed "most powerful country on the planet".
We allowed our economy to be undermined by capitalist thieves.
We allowed labor to be destroyed.
We allowed our healthcare system to be prostituted and undermined.
We allowed our legal system to be prostituted and undermined.
We allowed our media to be prostituted and undermined.
We allowed religion to inject itself overtly into our politics.
We allowed outright racism and bigotry to go unchallenged and unpunished.
We allowed outright treason to go unchallenged and unpunished.
What are we to reclaim? We don't care. Slience is acceptance, and the American people are silent.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
anyone else clapping?
Bravo, Liberal AND Proud!
at the bottom rung of the ladder. I'm hoping for legislation that will kill corporate lobbyists and get public financing of all elections.
those who make the laws benefit from them the way they are now. We must use what is already in place, or never get anywhere. Who said we have to start at the bottom rung of the ladder? I prefer to make my own rules from what already exists.
need funding too. They still need public financing if they are going to have a chance of winning. The deck is stacked against them.
How much money do you need to write in a candidate? None. What expenses are you anticipating? The internet can spread the info needed to do this for nothing. Don't give up before you start.
of how many people who are on the internet, many still don't participate in blogs like this. The TV is their main source of information. In a 1/2 hour news program they may get 20 minutes of news and the rest is commercials then it's questionable whether the 20 minutes is news.
minute show once. There was 36 minutes of show, and the rest was commercials. Four minutes of commercials to six minutes of show. It's worse now. I'm going to do it again. If there is 20 minutes of news, I'll be surprised.
...dont forget to factor in how much of that 'news' is shitty product placement and promotion ...
"... well Apple unvieled the new ... iCrap today..."
... "and heres the weekend Hollywood box office winners and losers .."
"... but up next the finalists from Dancing with the Fattest Survivor Whore Wives ..."
Disinfotainment. Its the Real Thing.

attention. It's good to confront the problems we'll have if we do this. We can do this. I have to go pick up my car, but I will return. TTFN
If you watch Brian Williams for news you might get four minutes of real news if you are lotto winning lucky.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
you have to watch it the same day there is a drawing.
... but we also need to understand that we need to create sustainable platforms, not just based on individual candidates but ideologies.
As I said: momentum... I don't care how it is built but it needs to get rolling.
this is simply not a sustainable way of running a "democracy."
I am simply done being laughed at by the Dems, only to have my vote "entitled to them" and then being blamed if they lose...
Must we point out all of Florida's warts. Yesterday it was the sick fu*k who claimed he did drugs and had sex with Obama and today the blue bitch (that is the correct terminology for a female dog that is blue). Sure it's all true but after 2000, we try to avoid mirrors.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Texas on the other hand, what is their redeeming excuse? ;-)

Yeah well we're holding our breath about Grayson. Some say he refuses to show anyone his birth certificate.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

I was really impressed with Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The more I'm seeing of her, however, the more disappointed I am becoming. I'm about to conclude that she is for sale. Pity, she had promise.
Except for some issues, Ms Schultz follows the money and her religion.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Well how patriotic of her.
Since I've got neither I guess I'm a traitor. :)
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
Too bad.
This Lori person isn't even elected and is already selling herself. I hope there comes a time when being a
Bribe-O-CratBluedog "Democrat" comes to be universally recognized as the shameful thing that it is, and that supposed "Democrats" will think twice before affilliating themselves withsuch shady characters.That works for Blue Dog whores, doesn't it?
There are Republican and Democrats, but those are only the parties on the surface. Beneath the surface, you see the real party -- the money party. Special interests and corporate dollars are the ones creating coalitions that cross party lines. D or R, doesn't matter; they all offer favors for the cashola.

It has legs here, being the swing vote on many occasions. Check it out.
That sounds like some commie, hippie, socialist-type marxist movement.

I've been trying to get Allen Boyd un-elected since I moved to Tallahassee. Tallahassee itself is quite liberal but the surrounding counties are as redneck as any you'll find in the South. At least this time around, I hear he will have a primary challenger by the name of Al Lawson. Even if we lose the seat to a Republican, it would be worth it to get rid of Boyd. Maybe that's the only way to get a real progressive elected. Either way, I will be voting Green if Boyd isn't beaten in the primary. -http:\\betrayedbyboyd.blogspot.com
I'm actually quite tired of people being surprised by Bluedogs "acting like Republicans".
These people are DINO's. They run with a "D" next to their name because they know they can't win as Republicans.
DINO's like Ms. Edwards do what they do. Don't be surprised and definitely don't vote for them.
* There are two types of Republicans: millionaires and suckers.
"Mugsy's Rap Sheet": Recording history for those who seek to rewrite it.
to be a moderate liberal... you is not a real progressive. (At least that is what the moderate conservatives pretending to be real progressives in this site would have you believe.)
We have a choice between the Repugs and Repug lite , when and if the Dems "clean house" , get rid of the corporate whores and make a solid left hand turn I'll give them my vote but until that happens they won't get a vote from me again , not even a vote to keep a Repug from winning . I'll "waste my vote" from now on or not vote at all .
