Zandar has the bottom line:
Here's who I'm particularly mad at: the Democrats who voted for the Stupak Amendment, but who voted against the final bill anyway. Those are the Dems who are going to be in trouble come 2010. They are:
SNIP
Ben Chandler (KY)
SNIP
That's 21 Dems (all male, natch) who are going to lose in 2010. You 21 Democrats, do you think your Republican opponents will applaud your voting record? Do you think they won't attack you as a liberal fascist traitor to America and the universe? Do you think Democratic voters are going to turn out en masse for the guy who voted against health care reform?
Most of all, do you know you're on the wrong side of history?
Some of them may change their minds in the final vote. I don't know. But for now? I don't know how they can sleep tonight.
Oh, Benny Boy sleeps just fine on the mattress stuffed with the millions in campaign cash he took from the health insurance giants.
The other comfortable sleeper in the Sixth is Benny's repug challenger, who knows he's getting every repug vote in the District next year, while the Central Kentucky dems sit home in disgust.
Is there a Real Democrat in the Sixth who will step forward to fight for the Sixth's working families?
Somehow, someway, a Fund needs to be set up to collect money for a challenger to Ben.
ReplyDeleteIf the money is there, waiting for a challenger to step up and claim it, we may get a real challenger for Ben.
I am now on record, my first $100 donation is waiting on the Fund to be established.
What about the rest of you, have you had enough of Ben Chandler yet?
I am certain that the national Democratic Committee has a list of the 'no voters' from last evening's Health Care vote and will soon begin to look for another Dem to run against the Chandlers in the primary.
