Yeah..fuck this guy. Bad Dems are worse than Republicans because they provide “bi-partisan” cover to the Right’s egregious malfeasance
Dan Lipinksi isn’t a “good fit for his district.” He is a conservative fuck-stick who needs to be taken to the curb.
A coalition of major progressive groups has joined together to try to oust Rep. Dan Lipinksi (D-IL), one of the most conservative House Democrats left in Congress.
The pro-abortion rights groups EMILY’s List, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and NARAL Pro-Choice America, as well as the liberal organizations MoveOn, Progressive Campaign Change Committee and Democracy for America announced a joint endorsement of Marie Newman, who nearly beat Lipinski last year and is now gunning for a rematch.
I smell the faint acrid odor of urine. I think the DCCC just wet its collective pants.
Yeah…fuck the DCCC too
Correct. Good take here.
Yep, Lipinski is a fuck stick for all seasons, even if it’s ten bucks I’ll donate to his challenger.
Anybody here remember the National Committee for an Effective Congress? In the Eleanor Roosevelt-Al Lowenstein era of the late 1940s and 1950s, NCEC developed a set of techniques now considered standard for going after Congressmen and Senators in the South and border states who needed to be replaced. Bundling checks, serious opposition research, sending in trained campaign field workers (many of whom went on to do Civil Rights organizing) — all these were probably before some of you were born.
Point is, DCCC was (if it existed then) pretty upset with seeing a bunch of outsiders trying to pick off established Southern members of Congress. I don’t have any knowledge about their rate of success, but I don’t remember any Senators being knocked off.
Turn, turn, turn, as Pete sang.
We must endeavor to persevere
