Yeah Baby !!! - GOP Cuts & Runs From Weldon, Beauprez & Ney Districts

[WillyT]

<snip>

Bad news for Crazy Curt Weldon: The National Republican Congressional Committee is cutting spending on his doomed Pennsylvania race and shuffling that money to help out some other GOP guys who have a better chance. Oh well. He’s going to jail fairly soon, so losing his House seat is the least of his problems.

The NRCC is also bailing on the old Bob Ney and Bob Beauprez districts in Ohio and Colorado. (Ney’s going to prison and Beauprez is running a campaign for governor that’s being investigated by the FBI.)

Even the Republicans are kind of embarrassed by Ney, who was convicted of taking bribes from Abramoff and general felony conspiracy but still refuses to resign his seat in Congress. He’s going to be officially expelled in the December session if he hasn’t quit by then.

1. Beauprez is (hehe was) my Rep..

The guy is an ass. The best thing I can say about him is he at least had the courtesy to respond to my letters. Granted it was to tell me I was wrong and to push the propaganda but he did respond. He's done Ritter is going to kick his ass.

3. The Weldon ads are increasingly more pleading.

The latest has his wife interceding with the good folk of his district, and there's another one which suggests he's like a friend who needs the benefit of the doubt--but the cloud he's under is pretty thick.

4. Whoa! What's with the shades?

Looks like the ones Rod Piper wore in "They Live."

Wonder what happens if you put them on and look at Hastert?
