More Casey & Alito

Boy... the left has been set off.

Here we have a perfectly good Blue state, with a republican candidate that every democrat loves to hate, who is eminently vulnerable. And the DLC republicrat leaders foist a republican look-alike upon the state's Democrats, bringing in heavy hitters like John Kerry and Barack Obama to raise millions, so this right wing fake Democrat is stuffed down the throats of PA democrats.

We see, in Illinois, DLC darling, Rahm Emanuel, going with the latest fad, shoving an Iraq war vet down the Illinois Dems throats, when Christine Cegelis did a superb job in her last effort against retiring incumbent Henry Hyde.

It is time for the mainstream members of the Democratic party to tell the right wing extremist DLC members to GO TO HELL. Get out of the party. Take a hike. Come out of the closet as the right wing republicans you really are. Start voting Republican. Maybe you can help the remaining sane republicans to take back their party from the nutcase theocrats who took over their party.

Interesting proposition, for sure. But would it not be better for the non "right-wing extremist" Democrats to take their balls and make their own new party? Why kick'em out when you can walk out? Call me pro-choice on that. Choose to leave the current "right-wing" Democrat party.

Casey's supporters tout that he won by big margins in his latest election. But that election was a backwater minor league, minimal competition nothing compared to the race that will be held against Santorum. Casey will be attacked with withering Swift boat ads, because the right wing will do anything to keep Santorum in power.

Whew. That's a long step out there. I didn't realize Bobby Casey Jr was in Vietnam. Maybe one day the political chattering class in this country will get over Vietnam. The rest of the country pretty much has.

Casey has ZERO history of showing spine. He's been a stealth candidate who has been afraid to take a stand, or state publicly what his policies are on his campaign website on any of the tough issues. Well, now that we see where he stands on the Alito nomination, it's no wonder he's left his website bare on the tough issues, why he's refused, with lame excuses, to debate his democratic opponents, why he's refused to answer pollster questions (more on that soon.) It's not surprising Casey's supporting Alito. He's taken the same approach to avoiding questions that Alito took. You might even call Casey the Alito of the "democratic" party.

Bob Casey Jr is in quite a pickle. Those of us on the right call him a liberal because among other things, Senator Barbara Boxer said so. (She wouldn't lie, now) Those on the left call him a conservative because he's not any number of leftist issues.
He has to straighten everyone out on his positions, or he's going to piss EVERYONE off and crater.

Again.
