Is it Time to Start Cutting the Funding of Obstructionist Senators?
Seriously. This is the Democratic Party's Do or Die moment. Any bill passed without a Public Option is a TKO for the Dems...they might as well not even campaign in 2010. There are several ways you can criticize the Obama Administration in their strategy in pushing for healthcare reform...but we're at the point where we need to tell Dems to either put up or shut up. It's time to start using strong-arm tactics and maybe we should just cut the funding of several Blue Dogs and show them how serious this is.

1. So who are you gonna vote for in 2010?
Edited on Wed Sep-30-09 09:08 AM by Uben
If you're not gonna vote for dems in 2010, are you gonna vote republican, who are even more against HCR? No. What we're gonna do is not vote for the incumbents who are obstructing our cause! It's a death blow for them, not the democratic party.


on edit: it looks like you're basically saying teh same thing!

2. DO NOT DONATE TO DSCC or DCCC.
I told them I'll donate to individual incumbents, and candidates. But, I'll not send one nickle, if there's a remote chance it will go to the likes of either Nelson, Baucus, et al.

3. That's my position too.
I donated to DNC under Howard Dean but that is over too.

Only individual, progressive candidates from now on.
