Evan Bayh on Hannity right now talking about how America is on an unsustainable course

What a traitor.

People like evan are responsible for the unsustainable situation we're in.

And then about his visit with Hannity, he said he would tell his fellow Democrats that he not only survived but enjoyed it.

and let him learn a very painful lesson.

Economic unsustainability?

bush-cheney left us in a ditch and PO and VP Biden are working to get us out and all bayh and is ilk can do is whine.

Bayh will likely seal his fate with his opposition to progressive health reform.

That would be nice but most Indiana Democrats are not a helluva better (or different) than the Repukes around here. Some people think that the Democrats and Republicans are impossible to differentiate at the national level, it's a REALITY here in Indiana! :eyes:

Nelson. When I moved here, I looked at his website, and all he had were pictures of himself with bush. This was last summer! I knew then that he was a useless tool.

Speaking of unstable...

:puke:

My Senator.........:puke:

I'm almost ashamed to say that I like Lugar better :hide: He may be a Republican but he seems a lot more sensible on issues than most of his Republican colleagues and at least he actually admits that he is a Republican.

About the only thing *good* about Bayh is that he is another "D" in our column (if in name only, anyway)

totally unresponsive. He doesn't reply to letters or emails. His voicemail is always filled. His office says, "It's not our policy to tell constituents how he intends to vote, you can find out when the votes are cast." We begged for two years for him to meet with us here and finally my friends and I had a vigil at his Hammond office, where one of us was arrested while reading the names of the Indiana soldiers who've died in Iraq. After being shamed into it, he finally urged them to drop the charges and agreed to meet with us after a newspaper article about it. We had a public meeting in Crown Point and he promised, PROMISED, to come back in six months to discuss what progress had been made. That was two years ago and he hasn't been back to Lake County yet, except to follow Hillary around like a puppy.

Lugar always responds and his staff is polite and friendly. He says I'll keep your thoughts in mind as I cast my vote, then he votes the opposite way from what I want him to most of the time, but at least he replies. Bayh is useless, but will there be anyone running against him? Nobody ever runs against either one of them...

Of Indiana's 9 house seats, 4 are GOP and 5 are democratic. Of those 5, only one (Carson) is truly progressive, the other 4 are members of the blue dog coalition.

I don't know why Luger is so moderate. In the house it seems that the GOP are extremists (Pence is one of the most right wing republicans, and I live in his district) and the dems are mostly blue dogs. However Luger is one of the more moderate GOP members. No idea how that happened, I guess name recognition. We are like a southern state. Our republicans are extremists, and the democrats are conservative blue dogs.

I remember writing him way back when thanking him for being willing to vote for Jocelyn Elders for SG and he wrote back saying that he believes that Presidents deserve to have their nominees and being impressed by him and I've voted for him for US Senate ever since. I don't always agree with his votes but I appreciate his moderate/bipartisan sensibilities. I've never tried to contact Bayh but it sounds like he hasn't been very responsive. It kills me is reading editorials in my local newspaper (Indy Star) attacking him for being "too liberal" whenever he DOES vote right- for Democratic proposals.
:rofl:

What really burns me is not so much that he is a "Blue Dog" or that he doesn't vote with us all the time but rather his apparent *pride* in being willing to vote with the Repukes and/or oppose President Obama's agenda like he did when announcing his *coalition* of "Blue Dogs" in the Senate. Going on the SEAN HANNITY show and giving credence/support to ANYTHING that cretin says takes him down another whole notch in my book. :eyes:

He is a Republican , but he is also a good and honest man .

to the drug industry. He's not going to budge on health care and I hope his ass gets voted right out of office.

Gone are the days of him going on Rachel Maddow's show to try and pass as sort of progressive, evidently.

and then run the progressive as a 3rd party if he loses the primary....

After all, a progressive unable to win a Democratic primary is sure to lose the general election.

It may be after our lifetimes, but things will eventually work out.

It's high time that these ultra-right wing "Democrats" learn that they'll be replaced by the real-deal if they continue to plod down an entirely Republican path. It's the only way they'll be forced to change their ways.

:eyes:

what can we do?

just because he has a D beside his name


NEVER!

care coverage for themselves and their twin sons if they would, as parents, then favor a public option for said health care.

He's always been an opportunist.

Any takers?
