We could really do without Boswell.
That old fraud had voted to support the vile Patriot Act (it's extension) as he voted for the Bankruptcy bill. What a f*king tool!! Can't he be challenged by a real Democrat?

1. Maybe Ed Fallon could run
and get his ass handed to him.

Sorry, but Boswell is a Democrat most people in his distrcit can live with. The kind you and I might like would probably lose to goddamned Stan Thompson.

Boswell did confront the Pres in the oval office yesterday over the "overly rosey picture the White House gave" over the war in Iraq. This was within a week after finishing his chemotherapy. The guy fights.

2. I know he CAN show spine now and then
but I get exasperated at votes that hurt people. I do suppose the alternative is worse. But are you sure that 2006 won't be a GOP debacle wherein even an Ed Fallon could win?

4. Good point. You just never know who they can dig up.

3. Boswell is a proud DLC Blue Dog Democrat
and there's no changing him.

I wish he would have taken the Party's suggestion and stepped down so we could get someone who will be able to make the race in 2006. I fear with his health and the anger at him by Democrats in his district that it'll be turning R this time around. :scared:

5. He should step down because of health
and let someone more to the center or left run. Of course there are people out there. Dems should be eager to run in 2006. I don't like so-called Democrats I want to heckle or hiss at when I see them. I usually reserve that bile for repugs but Boswell has earned my contempt. Especially for the Bankruptcy bill. For God's sake, aren't there people with credit card overloads anywhere in his district??

6. I would rather see Fallon or Culver winning that seat than running for Gov
I am supporting the Fallon campaign for Governor and if he doesn't win I hope he gets the name recognition to run for Boswell's seat in 2008.

7. Fallon needs to run a better campaign.

He was here in Eastern Iowa and nobody knew about it.
