Question? Do you want a "Blue Dog Dem", or a "Teabagger Nut Case"???

Joe Donnelly a so called "Blue Dog", is running for Senate against the nutcase who said that employers could refuse to cover cancer
as part of health insurance.. It looked at the beginning of the year, that no Democrat would stand a chance against Lugar. Well,
the pukes defeated Lugar, and got this nutcase...don't know his name..don't care about his name..he is nuts..

Joe has a real chance in this once safe puke seat. No strong liberal would , but this guy might win.
Yes, he is blue dog ..and just voted
against Holder..but the chances are most votes as a Senator would be with us. If he wins, and there is an unexpected loss, then he would help us hold on to the Senate. What do you think? He could make the difference between majority and minority. It isn't what most of us want, but then, loosing the Senate would be far worse. At least in my opinion..

of a new Congress are: 1) recognition of the majority party; 2) election of the Speaker; and 3) appointment of cmte chairs. If DEMs had control of the House today, the stupid vote against Holder would not have occurred. So, as much as they stink, I have to vote for a Blue Dog over a T-bagger. If it were a Blue Dog v. liberal Republican, then ... But, that can't happen. There are no living liberal Republicans.
