Ben "Wire Hanger" Chandler, Whining Worm

Media Czech takes on the spin from the traitor to be known from now on as Wire Hanger.

Actually Ben, that's far from the case. The Republicans are going to hammer you either way, because that's what they do.

If you voted for... I don't know, what your own constituents in your Party wanted, they would have had your back and I think you'd manage just fine. See Dr. Garrett Adams, state coordinator of Physicians for a National Health Program:

The lawmaker “underestimates his constituency,” Adams added.

“He runs more scared than he needs to,” said Adams, whose group supports a government-financed system with private health care providers. “I think his district…is more tolerant and more progressive than he gives them credit for.”

Instead, you have decided to curry favor with the teabaggers that astroturfed your office with phone calls. And I have to give a hat tip to them, because they exploited what is thought to be your biggest weakness: that you are a spineless wuss who cowers in fear at the slightest criticism.

And the question remains, because neither the Herald-Leader or Courier-Journal thought that it was worth asking:

Why is a self-described "pro-choice" representative voting to END PRIVATE INSURANCE COVERAGE OF ABORTION IN AMERICA???

Because unless he pulls a pathetic and dishonest excuse like Jim Cooper, there is no excuse.

P.S.- Jim Carroll did mention our little FB group:

But some progressive Democrats in the state already started a Facebook site called “KY Democrats who will never vote for Ben Chandler again.”

“Fighting Republicans is one thing. It's when we have to fight so called ‘allies’ that I want to scream,” one contributor wrote on the site.
