1. I am backing Canova against Debbie Republican Schultz.

The entire Massachusetts delegation is pretty good, although my particular U.S. Rep, Lynch, is one of the more conservative members of the delegation. (He did got more liberal--or appeared to--when he ran for the US Senate.) He has been for Hillary and there's not much I can do about that, other than telling him I object. I've done that more than once.

Inasmuch as I don't have a lot of work to do locally, I've adopted and been donating to Canova, who is challenging Disgraceful Deb in Florida. I encourage everyone who cares about fundamental fairness and level playing fields to do the same.

Omaha Steve set up an account for Canova at Jackpine Radical. OS may also have set up a DU act blue account for him. If not, use the general link:

It's personal with me. She screwed us over royally a few years ago during a congressional race we were running a few years ago.

After we beat their DLC chosen candidate by 12 points in a 3-way primary, her and Rahm pulled every dirty trick in the book on us, and she endorsed our Republican opponent (one of her "friends&quot in the general. That's when she was chair of Red to Blue Dog. And the DCCC was actually calling donors and telling them not to donate to us.

5. They nurture the myth that only New Democrats can get elected any way they can.

Even if it means backing a Republican. I've read on DU that she's back three.


And counting?

6. I live in Florida. Yes, she backs her GOP buddies. Won't support progressives or liberals.

And, guess what - when we vote for DINOs, the DINOs vote with the GOP. Plain and simple. Nothing will change.

Sickening hypocritical stench, really, when the rest of us are told we must always back the "D" on the jersey.
I am not in her district (my representative is, at least, up front about being a Republican), and my senators are Rubio (enough said) and Nelson (DINO). So I will be supporting Canova over DWS. of course, and Grayson over Patrick Murphy - Murphy was GOP until 2012, votes a lot with the GOP when he gets the chance, and voted to establish the Benghazi panel. Welcomed with open arms by DWS and Hillary.

Sometimes the Democratic party down here looks a lot like Petyr Baelish's establishment in Game of Thrones.

And we also need to remember Senator Cotton and his traitors at voting time.
Hope he's up for reelection.

7. And then, of course, they fucking vote like DINOs. Always.

The intent is to stock the Democratic Party completely with DINOs.
