I'm looking for 2014 to clean the House of this scourge of repube antics. We, the progressive movement in this country, need to come up with viable and strong candidates to take on EVERY ONE of these repube shills.

I was so disappointed to see jamie herrera-buttler get re-elected from my district in Washington state, and that clown, michelle bachmann get re-elected once again; but until we put up strong candidates to take them on, we are screwed and stuck with such low lifes.

The only reason rand paul won was because the candidate who ran against him was a clown as well. The same was true in too many cases. The Democratic Party needs to do it's homework NOW. There are many qualified people in the field that need to be cultivated and moved up the chain. We don't need empty-headed Democrats to run against empty-headed repubes. We need strong candidates that have the ideology of a progressive and the skills to convey their views in debates and on the floor of the House and Senate. W

We can't win with losers.
