Were you around when Rahm was running the DCCC and refusing to fund progressive candidates, instead sending money to the likes of Heath Schuler and other Blue Dogs?

This whole BS is SO Rahm, and starting to become SO Obama.

The state and national party still call me though, so I really wonder if enough people have given elsewhere to make a difference.

Much as it pains me to listen to their phone calls or open mail with their return address, I still take time to tell them EXACTLY why I WON’T be contributing to them, but to individual candidates through Blue America.

Although now that some of those Blue America candidates are wavering on the Supplemental . . .

And progressives thought Hans von Spakovsky was a criminal for suppressing votes and the democratic process. Is it possible Mr. Emanuel has gone too far, or is that a logical impossibility for a Chicago pol?

“If there be in our midst one low, sordid, vulgar soul… one tongue leprous with slander; one mouth which is like unto a den of foul beasts giving forth deadly odors; if there be one character which, while blotched and spotted all over, yet raves and rants and blackguards like a prostitute; if there be one bold, bad, empty, bellowing demagogue, it is the gentleman from Illinois.”

wow.

and I thought that *I* was getting ready to say something nasty.

I yield.

The DCCC is targeting Bill Young? This I gotta see. The last 2 elections they did everything but cold call for him. I was Samm Simpson’s treasurer in 06 and 08. In 06 she was the only one running against Young. The DCCC wouldn’t endorse her and many registered Dem voters wouldn’t donate to us unless she was endorsed by DCCC. In 08 a Rethug turned Dem used the resources of one of the local pols to primary Samm and won. It remains to be seen if Young runs again. He’ll be in his late 70s.

The rethugs aren’t gonna fall for this. if they do one thing good it’s hang together as one voting block.

The utter HUBRIS of Emanuel just amazes me. He will soon be THE most despised man in DC.

It’s as if he were still chairman. Talk about clash of egos. Petard meets hoist.

Pissing off Eric Cantor and his office seems like a desireable side effect.

Autocrat can we say Elite whether its Bush or Rahm the Autocrat expects to get their way. They do not expect to be questioned. They don’t think they need to persuade people with logic. They see power relationships only and use them.
Also their attempts at being devious are obvious.
Funny only Dems get called Autocrats/Elites though.
