Landrieu is a perfect example of the assholes that I not only want out of congress and in a federal pen.

Impeachment now. We got problems and we’ve got another goddamn bush. Impeachment for 5 months too many of war crimes might get Biden’s attention that we are NOT FUCKING happy with this growing pile of pig shit.

You heard it in the Washington Post! That means Obama is actually in favor of activist groups targeting wavering or fighting the public option and health care reform. For crying out loud, we all have heard of the “unreliable narrator”. I think the Washington Post has that as their slogan.

Did he say he wanted them to stop? or just that he has concerns?

I have concerns that some of these ads give the wrong impression that Republicans actually support a public option because Republican is the opposite of the Democrats they’re attacking.

Having said that, the ad in Louisiana doesn’t do that as it makes clear Landrieu is not supporting the President on this (which may actually be a good thing for Landrieu in Louisiana politically)

I’m all for pushing the Democrats to do the right thing, but we have to make sure it doesn’t backfire on us.

Even aside from the health care issue, Landreiu is a bad senator. She takes shitloads of money from oil and gas interests and is a faithful servant of their interests. Currently she is waffling around on EFCA, even though organized labor has supported her campaigns in the past. Louisiana progressives have been grumbling about her for years. Let’s hope the ads criticizing her crystalizes into a primary challenge next time around.

Landrieu’s not exclusively a blue dog or a pollyana. She’s just ~~bought and paid for~~ rented for special occasions.

Our politician$ are not for $ale, that would be mercenary.

I hope Change Congress and the other groups put out an appeal for more $$ for more TV spots. I’ll pony up my beer money if I have to.

Change Congress got Nelson to change position, or at least say words he didn’t want to say in public, but we have to keep pushing forward.

I don’t buy Landrieu’s Pollyana personna. The only difference between a Blue Dog and a Republican is where they pay their dues, otherwise they are scratchin’ the same ol’ fleas. If I lived in La. I still wouldn’t vote for her because she has not voted in my best interest on legislation that really matters.

I’m having trouble viewing the photograph attached to this article - could some mod help, please?

I don’t see the “CORPORATE WHORE” stamped in Huge Red Letters across her forehead - is this a mac issue? /s

I’m going to give both links, as you suggested.
SouthernDragon, I’d be more than happy to suggest a good journalism school to them at some point–the Des Moines Register has become a useless rag.
