I know he already has a lot of money, but MoveOn should seriously consider endorsing George W. Bush. No other candidate has the potential to do as much damage to the Republican party this year (or has the same proven record of doing so in the past).

I nominated Cathy Woolard in the GA 4th (running against Cynthia McKinney, among others).
If you're of a mind, send her some Turkee, too. She's a wonderful public servant who would make a great Congressperson.

Just wondering.

Woot, the name-stealing troll is Ricky Vandal, trying to get hits for his blog. Probably trying to get money from blogads or something. It's sad that he has so little confidence in his own skills at satire that he can't even advertise it for what it is.

On topic, whoever that guy is running against toxic Delay.
Move on should give him fucking billions of dollars.
It would be a service to humanity in my opinion.

Anybody but republican.
Time to pop a cap in gerrymander's ass and target key republicans based on their actions.
Instead morons keep voting their demographic, which I personally find offensive.
DeLay is Public Enemy Number One.
Also, it would nice if MoveOne got some of the Democratic deadweight out of Congress.
These "safe seats" remind me of potty chairs for two-years olds; if they crap, you don't care (for awhile), because at least it wasn't in their pants.
My personal enemy #1 is Charlie Gonzales from San Antonio, my COngressman. I think this guy is completely unfamiliar with the concept of "Oedipus Complex", because he makes no effort whatsoever to live up to his father's legacy. Why are you humiliating yourself, Charlie?
I remember seeing him at Blockbuster one Saturday night a few months ago, the only guy in there in a suit. His date was impressed when I answered a trivia question during a contest for junk food.
"In 'Matrix Reloaded', what was the name of the ship?"
"Nebucanezer"
Listen, the only good republican congressman is a retired republican congressman. Actually that's not even good enough. Maybe retired and moved to the Falkland Islands.
Tomato... I thought ya liked my portrait of Rickeee for a second there.

Is Mother Jones out? Or must we nominate the living?

Smitty, in that case, I nominate William Jennings Bryan!
4LG, moved to Dallas, haven't settled yet so do not know my new Congressman.
I remember back in the early 80s I was living in Alamo Heights and one Sunday morning I was totally hungover and went walking past the Luby's on Broadway and Lamar Smith was out their gladhanding, I think for his second term.
"Uhhh, whatever dude. Uhhhh."
So, let's target Lamar Smith and Henry Bonilla (commonly called a Coconut in San Antonio).
I keep saying, the House is packed with follwers, not leaders.

If you live in Arizona (heck even if you don't), nominate Paul Babbitt (D) for District 1 House. He is running against Rick Renzi, a first-termer who barely won in 2002.
THIS SEAT IS WINNABLE!
And yes, Paul is related to former SecInt Bruce Babbitt.

Ah, WJ Bryan, the guy who argued in favor of creationism in the Scopes monkey trial? He'd be perfect for today's Republican Party.

Is Frist up? Because he really sucks. Also with the kitty vivisection and all.
Athenae,
A few of us from Democracy for America (in Chicago) are donating our time and energy to her campaign. If you are interested in helping get rid of Fat Henry and are in the area, check out: http://tinyurl.com/33cvm

I think MoveOn needs to set some performance metrics:
If you want the progressive, dynamic, internet support then you have to do the following:
1. Once a quarter shout down a Republican on TV.
2. Get on Rush's shitlist.
3. Make Hannity cry.
4. Demonstrate getting blackballed by a big PAC, you know, like Pharma, AMA, Oil, etc.
End the safe seats syndrome.
We need leaders. When democrats House and Senate members enter a room in DC, one third of the Republicans get up to slug them, one-third get up to shake their hand, and one third piss their pants.
We need warriors. We need heroes.
This is only temporary. Once the tide is turned then we can restore bipartisanship.
We're at war right now. Bring in somebody who has been trained in Doom and Quake and Halflife to kill the zombies and brain-infected crazies.

Thanks for the invite, Yoshimi. I'll check it out.
Remember that famous photo of Fat Hen from the impeachment hearings, when he had a guy whispering in each ear and he had ballooned up to approximately cruiser-weight? A co-worker commented that it looked like he had been interrupted in the middle of a barium enema.
His campaign commercials were fucking creepy. Kids are in a library, and suddenly they all walk out of the stacks and gather around Henry, who's crammed his bulk into one of those little kiddie chairs. NONE of the kids were smiling; it was like the Stepford Children.
OK I'm going to expand on my earlier comment because this is really important, that we get back the House...
Paul Babbitt, brother of former AZ governor and Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt, is running for Congress in Arizona's District 1, one of those weirdo districts that encompasses a good part of Northern Arizona and also stretches down to Casa Grande (about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson). It is primarily a rural district.
Paul's opponent is Rick Renzi, a first-termer who won a tight race in 2002 with a LOT of help from George W. Bush and a LOT of his own and DC money. I think Bush visited here at least three times to help push Renzi to victory over a VERY poor Democratic candidate. I mean, the guy was lousy - the kind the GOP shamelessly runs, regularly.
By contrast, Paul Babbitt is a seasoned politician who is currently a county supervisor. He has GREAT name recognition and deep, deep roots in his home district.
This seat is winnable!
Not too long ago, Arizona had 6 GOP Congressmen and only 1 Dem. If When Paul wins, we'll have 3 Dems to the GOP's 5!
Make George W. Bush cry - give turkee to Paul Babbitt!!!!
If you give, add 1 penny (for the district #) to your donation (e.g., $25.01), so that the Babbitt campaign knows who sent them there!

I will gladly tell MoveOn to stay the fuck away from Obama. He doesn't need them, and I feel a MoveOn endorsement is a certain kiss of death.

Nominate Christine Cegelis. She is running against Henry Hyde in Illinois' 6th district.

Ah... so that's the name of the person I'm voting for. Unfortunately Hyde has a lock on this district. He won 61-39 IIRC in the last election.

In the interest of full disclosure, this 94-year-old dynamo is a dear friend of mine. She walked across the USA at the age of 90 (actually skied the last 100 miles!) to promote campaign finance reform. One of the greatest patriots—in the good sense of the word—this country has ever seen.
A little anecdote: She got busted for reading the Declaration of Independence in the Capitol rotunda. Went to court and the judge was aghast, said the country needs more citizens like her. She commented, "If they'll bust me for that, what would they do if I read the Bill of Rights there?" Flash forward about a week: Granny D is busted for reading the Bill of Rights in the Capitol rotunda!
Is she too old? Would she die in office before her term is up? Maybe, but I'd trade one or two years of Senator Granny for the entire career of most other senators. Check out her speeches on Grannyd.com, she's been a political firebrand for years. Funny, irreverent, witty, scathing, loving, compassionate, angry, feisty, not one to suffer fools gladly, this woman would be like a zephyr set loose in the Senate's heretofore disgraced halls. Most senators pussyfoot around, but Granny would have none of that; she doesn't have time for weasly shenanigans.
She got the Democratic nomination by a bizarre twist of fate, but she'll fight for that seat like a hellcat. She's starting out with $0 against a well-financed Republican incumbent. But watch her go! I would encourage one and all to keep an eye on that race, and consider sending her a donation. She's one of the few who'll stand up for what America should be.
