Michael Moore on Steph Miller,"They have to be removed from the Senate"....

[Botany]

...... on the 5 Democrats who voted against a public option in committee. He is on right now.

He promised to work against them in the next election cycles.

Baucus, Lincoln, Bill Nelson, Tom Carper, and Kent Conrad are now going to become "projects"
for Michael Moore he said they all should become ex-Seantors.

1. Once again, I absolutely agree with Michael Moore.

The "Die Because We Don't Care, We're Protecting Our Sponsors' Profits Five" MUST GO! PERIOD.

[Botany]

4. Max "They Bought My Office"

He (Baucus) is working for his paymasters in the insurance companies. Figures peg the amount @
8 million $s he has gotten and a slew of his former staff work for the health care industry.

13. Mad Max: Beyond Belief

M.A.D. M.A.X.
He makes us such nervous wrecks
The people want health care but he don't give a heck
Makes us want to break his neck
Mad Max! We just have to attack--Mad Max!

(apologies to my cat Max, who also is nicknamed Mad Max; just look at my avatar).

2. We're with you Mike.

Those 5 Democrat senators are really not Democrats and do not belong in the U.S. Senate.

[tonekat]

3. Agree. They represent the problem. N/T

[madokie]

5. I think so too

and along with a whole shitpot of other congress critters, dem and :puke: BOTH

[riverwalker]

6. exposed for the frauds they are n/t

[shireen]

7. anyone know when they're up for re-election?

we need to start supporting progressive challengers to their seats.

[Ruby the Liberal]

9. Baucus 2014, Lincoln 2010, Conrad 2012

[Ruby the Liberal]

8. Sadly Lincoln is the only one up in 2010.

Baucus is all the way out to 2014. :(

[meow2u3]

15. This is one Lincoln who indeed is a clunker

We need a good primary challenger to unseat her in the primaries. Maybe the Big Dog ought to move back to Arkansas to challenge her; if he does, wouldn't Bill Clinton be the second former President ever to have a seat in the Senate?

[roguevalley]

19. she is considered hugely endangered. I hope a good candidate

is stepping up. I want her scrawny cheesy smile out.

[Bobbie Jo]

10. Bravo and K&R!

:applause:

[kenny blankenship]

11. I will be less diplomatic: we need to make examples of them.

"Primary" them. GENERAL them. Get rid of them and make their Senatorial demise an edifying spectacle for the survivors. Only when your representatives fear to betray you will you have their respect.

I'm starting to not give a shit about this worthless corrupted party, but if YOU do and you want the Democratic Party to mean something different than the Republican Party you cannot afford to leave these traitors running around in the Senate. Drag them into the square and show others with the same ideas of selling out what happens to traitors.

[nradisic]

12. I'm in...

Get rid off them...pronto. No more DINOS.

[Orsino]

14. Fuck, yeah.

It wouldn't be hard to find more ethical candidates. Just hard to get 'em elected.

[meow2u3]

16. We ought to come up with an organization that would recruit ethical Democrats

People for the Election of Ethical Democrats to Oust F'in Foes, or PEED OFF for short.

[MidwestRick]

17. I am so tired of this arguement...

Does Moore realize that many of those districts cannot be won by progressive candidates? You may not agree with all of their politics but at the same time, without the blue dogs, the Congress would not be as blue as it is.

On the other issue brought up here about paymasters, I have issue with that as well. Every politician has lobbies that support their election/re-election bids. Is that to say that those who get support by the trial lawyers are beholden to them? Or to the unions? Please don't get me wrong, I'm not naive enough to think that some are swayed by their supporters, but to throw the blanket out that anyone who received money from the insurance industry is bought and paid for...this has crossed the line.

[Freddie Stubbs]

18. Only one of them is up for reelection next year:

Blanche Lincoln.

There is exactly 158 days until the end of the filing deadline of the Arkansas primary.
