59. DeFazio's district isn't deep blue!
Edited on Mon Mar-20-06 08:20 PM by depakid
Yet he get elected because he's honest, principled and has integrity.

David Wu and Darleen Hooley, on the other hand, have neither principles nor integrity- Wu ended up being THE deciding vote on Bush's Medicare scam- and he voted for the bankruptcy bill.

Hooley just voted to premempt ALL state laws on food labeling. ALL OF THEM. Including Oregon's law that requires disclosure of "salvaged" food. Fuck her.

Those two DO NOT stand either for the interests of the party or for the majority of Oregonians.

Much better candidates could and should run in their districts- and quite frankly- I'd rather see both of them get beaten in the general election, if that's what it takes to replace them. The Democratic party AND the state of Oregon are better off in the long run without the likes of them in office.
