Harry Reid Is Not A Wimp - He Stood Up To Progressives To Kill Filibuster Reform

[cascadiance]

3. I wonder if this setup is by design now...

Perhaps the corporate 1% realize that the draw of the crazies of the Republican party combined with their 1% base is too small to carry elections any more, so they realize they need to grab a big chunk of the Democratic Party and "keep control" of it in stealth mode to try to make people feel like they're "getting change" from the party that traditionally has put in place the kind of change that most Americans want now, when in fact the corporatists like Reid and other DINOs are controlling things.

I think it is time RIGHT NOW, that we make the Democratic Party primary of 2014 be the BIG election that progressives campaign in, to defend strongly those that we see as progressives, and to find replacements for the DINOs that are part of the 1% destruction of this country.

For starters in the Senate, we need to focus on the following races from wikipedia page here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_2014

Arkansas - Primary Mark Prior (a DINO traitor) with a good progressive contender.
Hawaii - Should we be supporting Brian Schatz (replacing Inouye) or Colleen Hanubasa, who might challenge him then.
Illinois - Help defend Richard Durbin against primarying, who's currently leading the fight to keep H-1B cap increases from happening that steal our jobs.
Iowa - make SURE we get a decent progressive candidate to replace Tom Harkin.
Louisiana - primary Mary Landrieu? (a DINO in many cases).
Michigan - Primary Carl Levin who lead the screw job that messed up our filibuster.
Montana - Primary Max Baucus (a DINO traitor) with a good progressive contender.
New Jersey - should we support Lautenberg or Cory Booker? That looks to be a primary fight brewing.
New Mexico - Strongly defend Tom Udall against any corporatist contenders that might come against him.
Oregon - Strongly defend Jeff Merkley against any corporatist contenders that might come against him.
Rhode Island - Primary Jack Reed for holding out and messing up our filibuster.

Feel free to add to this list or comment on this list with more info.

I think that if we're going to make these real possibilities of changing the old guard in the Senate, we really need to start organizing this effort now, as we can't wait until the last minute to expect anything positive to happen.
