It's draft pick time for our super duper congress!! Here are my picks for our side..... |

Edited on Tue Aug-02-11 12:50 PM by oviedodem
Since we all know that the right will put at least 2 tea bag freaks and maybe 1 moderate on their side, it is only fitting that we come up with our own. Maybe if we email call and annoy Harry Reid, the White House, and Pelosi they might listen. Feel free to chime in.
1. Kirsten Gillibrand 2. Bernie Sanders 3. Sherrod Brown 4. Barbara Lee 5. Xavier Becerra 6. Earl Blumenauer
This list I think is a good representation of liberal ideals and america.
Yes, I left out some folks notably Kucinich, Grijalva, and Frank but my reasons are simply that I don't think 2 ohioans should be there and Frank/Grijalva will get politicized to the tee. This list should offset the teabaggers that will ultimately be on the list like DeMint or Rand Paul

The Power Rangers.
Ninja Turtles.
Captain America.
James Bond.
(That's a few more than needed...kinda like the back-ups on Jury Duty).
WTF...it's fucking fantasy anyway. We've officially crossed into a new dimension of stupid.

The 'Right' side
1. Eric Cantor 2. Rand Paul 3. Marc Rubio
Should be fine.

10. The Democrats should put six progressive "no" votes on the committee. |
|
That might actually somewhat redeem this utter travesty.
But obviously they won't.
