Ohio cleans the deadwood from their house reps. The mean and the inept

[CK_John]

can move on new things.

[yodermon]

1. ..as evidenced by putting Joe the fucking Plumber on the ballot? k

[Freddie Stubbs]

11. He has no chance as the district is overwhelmingly Democratic

[mmonk]

2. You mean neutered, not inept.

Or maybe you didn't mean it but that what it is. Go celebrate with the powerful.

[leveymg]

3. By "mean and inept," you mean your veiled reference to the post-redistricting defeat of Kucinich?

[11 Bravo]

5. I'm pretty sure the "mean" refers to Jean Schmidt. Good riddance to that thing.

Even though she lost to someone running to her right, I despise that creature, and am glad she's gone.

[leveymg]

7. If I misread, I apologize.

But, I wish the OP would clarify his statement.

[joeybee12]

10. I don't think you did...I think he/she meant inept

in reference to Dennis.

[leveymg]

13. Considering that he's practically alone out on limb that Dem leaders sawed and sawed, I disagree.

I'd like to see someone do better, under the circumstances. Really.

[joeybee12]

19. Yup, and I'm wondering if Dennis is wondering if his vote

for the healthcare bill was worth it...Obama obviously twisted his arm and you'd think he might have gotten something in return.

[leveymg]

25. Many of us feel we were lowballed and switcherooed by this Admin.

I never felt like Dennis ever misled us - Obama increasingly sends the small hairs on the back of my neck up. Something's going on - a war
2 wars.

[ellenfl]

8. omg! mean jean schmidt LOST!? there IS a god, after all. eom

[2ndAmForComputers]

23. A fact that doesn't seem to have given the OP any degree of satisfaction, I might add.

[Scuba]

4. You need to elaborate.

[Sherman A1]

6. Pardon Me for a moment

[Gemini Cat]

9. Please Clarify.

[KamaAina]

12. You're calling Dennis "inept"?

When he was one of the few voices in the wilderness speaking against the Iraq war while everyone else, Dems included, had their red-white-and-blue sunglasses on?

15. Not just inept

Completely, utterly, totally useless as our representative. As a Clevelander, I can tell you just how uninterested or unmotivated or whatever he was during the course of his stay in Congress. We definitely weren't his top priority--not by a longshot.

Thankfully we now have a REAL representative in Marcy Kaptur. Kucinich, since he was Mayor of Cleveland, was all about and only concerned with DENNIS!

It amazes me how far his grandstanding and self promotion got him. Some people bought in to the myth, all the while Cleveland suffered.

We are a much better city going forward without him representing our interests in Congress.

14. Unrec for Kucinich reference

Kucinich was a champion of everything we stand for at DU. In Europe he'd be considered a moderate.

[CK_John]

16. Dennis couldn't organize a fire drill in a firehouse. Let alone get anything done in the House.

[dionysus]

17. you better batten down the hatches, buddy. a shitstorm's headin' your way...

[CK_John]

18. How come the people didn't see fit to send him back for another 2 yrs?

[dionysus]

20. maybe because he never delivered anything?

[2ndAmForComputers]

21. So, this IS about Kucinich.

I was willing to give you the benefit of doubt and assume it was about Jean Schmidt.

[CreekDog]

22. Slam at a liberal Democrat

hmmm.

[bluestate10]

24. Dennis accomplished absolutely nothing during his terms in Congress.

People in his district finally got a choice and went for Kaptur. My argument is that we need more effective liberals, not a joke. Congratulations to Kaptur, she took care of two problems, the most important of which is keeping the seat in democratic hands.

[CreekDog]

26. can we just stop with the nonsense?

i think Kaptur's great, but chiming in to celebrate a liberal sent packing is not my idea of what this place is about.

you want to celebrate? go chat it up with the posters here that agree with you, a couple years ago they were posting about Obama's birth certificate. enjoy the company.
