Remember that nice Rep. Alexander? The one who switched parties fifteen minutes before the cutoff to make it one seat harder to take back control of the House of Representatives?

Susie says he's all hurt 'cause people are mad at him.

Unfortunately, we can pretty much assume that whatever considerations he's getting from his new friends matter far more to him than what his constituents think or he wouldn't have done it in the first place.

What would really hurt him is not getting all the candy he jumped the fence for, and the only way we can manage that is to make sure that the people he's in bed with don't control the House.

The last thing we need is for this kind of garbage to look like a good career move.

The DCCC is raising money to make Rep. Alexander's life difficult, and I think we really should. If you can't donate money, they're also looking for volunteers (and they can find something for you to do that fits into your life, already in progress).

We just can't have these people running the country. It's like having a delinquent kid tearing around with your credit card buying things you don't approve of. Eventually the bills come.

I can't afford to pay them myself, and why the hell should I? Why the hell should you?

This is much cheaper.

Thanks.

It's not as if the people of Louisiana aren't used to this. There was that little matter of the Governor jumping ship to the GOP a ways back. This was the one that hadn't been indicted, that is.

Yeah, what's up with that?

I'd be less angry if he thought they were the right people to work with, but he knows good and damn well what they did to him last time, and now he wants them doing it _for_ him?

That just sucks.

Well, this is also the state that elected David Duke to the state Senate, even after the Times Picayune published full-page articles about his racist past, including a picture of him in brownshirt leading a crossburning. I mean, hello. And they almost elected him to the US Senate. I like Louisiana, but I think the heat makes people there crazy.

Boy, I enjoyed that Senate race. "Vote for the crook. It's important"

Helluva bumper sticker.

I believe that was the gubernatorial election. This year it's "Vote for the bore. It's important."

I've been meaning to give them a little money. Now is a good time.

Cool.

Now we both feel as if we'd accomplished something today :D
