Lori Edwards Isn't Even In Congress Yet And Already Selling Her Ass To K Street Whores
When will we finally learn to STOP electing these DINOS.

" You know, I always said the Democrats would be just as easily bought as the Bush Republicans, but that doesn't make it any easier on my stomach. Howie Klein:

Or, you might want a different kind of candidate from one who isn't even in Congress yet and already selling her ass to K Street whores who represent Countrywide Mortgage and Morgan Stanley. How about making a donation today to the grassroots candidate for the seat, Doug Tudor? You can do it here.

By the way, if you can't quite remember who Allen Boyd (Blue Dog-FL) is, please recall that when George W. Bush wanted to push his bill to kill Social Security as "bipartisan" he only managed to find one "Democrat" to co-sponsor it. That's Boyd, the fella bringing Lori Edwards around Washington to meet all the lobbyists. Boyd is on the Budget Committee and on the Appropriations Committee. He's taken in $1,048,609 from the financial sector-- but not because they're buying his votes; only because he's so handsome and debonair.

3. Haven't we learned enough from the ' Blue Dog Coalition ' Health Care fiasco?
Why do we continue entertaining and inviting these Blue Dogs to join the Democratic Party?

12. The FL Dems have made their decision....they picked Edwards.
They will never from this point on mention Tudor's name.

10. What arrogance! What shame! Debbie Wasserman Schultz, also ... and promoting
the Blue Dog Coalition? If Boyd is partnering with Schultz, it means both are DLC - right?

The image is for real?

Partially asked in sarcasm, definitely asked in disgust.

16. Edwards Pimps Herself and is a Liar
Not only is Edwards up there with Angelo Mozillo's best friends at the Eris Group, but down in the District where I LIVE, she is doing nothing except sit in her $130,000 government job. No grassroots, no meeting with activists, nothing.

Oh, and that $130,000 a year job, she says she is not going to resign to run because she isn't up for re-election until 2012. So she wants all of us as taxpayers to keep paying her while she campaigns for Congress and after she loses, she gets to go back to a six figure job with health care. Oh, but she doesn't want the rest of us to have health care.

The FUNNIEST part of it all is I got a push poll call from her not long ago and she was blasting her Repub opponent, Dennis Ross, for accepting a trip from a lobbyist (which Ross, unfortunately, didn't actually do - the Miami Herald has an article on it and Ross put all the stuff on his website showing she was a liar!), and she goes up to DC and has a fundraiser not just at a lobbyists house, but THE mortgage bailout meltdown lobbyist himself!

Isn't it funny that not one Democrat locally has endorsed her? Not one. Not any County Commissioner, activist, elected Dem or past elected Dem.

We need to get Doug Tudor some money so he can get this out. She is dirty.
