Remember Wisconsin? Fake Democrats on our primary's will be the new norm!

I heard it today. A new national strategy. Make our candidates spend $ on primary races that might even be unopposed otherwise across the US.

2. From where and from where are these fake Democrats funded and recruited?

3. Now, there's one of the benefits of a caucus system like Minnesota's. There's not a prayer for a fake Democrat. Although a DFL endorsement from the district or state conventions isn't a guarantee of election, it is a means of ferreting out any pretenders. The caucus chairs and official organization will soon find out who they are and eliminate them from ever having a chance. No money involved. Even as a lowly precinct chairperson, I get to have a face-to-face with every candidate, if I want.

14. Then explain Colin Peterson

there's a fake Democrat if there ever was one.

And don't forget that it was the state party machinery in league with the DSCC that shoved ever so bland and middle of the road Amy Klobuchar down our throats over the far more progressive Ford Bell who could have easily won that year.

5. I remember. Fake is the new norm, the down-side of 3rd way whatever.

I started worrying about this stuff the minute I heard about Obama's cross-over vote, "When do they cross back?", "What about double and triple crossers?"

I'm afraid it's a pattern that's been set in motion by our financial woes.

The only answer I can think of at any and all levels and in all environments, is to not be embarrassed or afraid to work toward CONCRETE accountability.

6. I suspect it's been happening for quite a while.

It's just now out in the open.

That's why progressives need to take over the party at the local levels.

The Teabaggers took over the Republican party from the inside and showed us how to do it.

So I'm determined to attend my local county's Democratic Party meetings and make the progressive voice heard.

If enough of us do that, we can rid the Democratic party of many blue dogs and corporo-crats.

On second thought, maybe I should run as a stealth Republican.

8. State party leaders always say stuff against it, but my theory is that they've been protecting that function for specially selected, "worthy", others.

11. Fake Democrats running in Democratic Primaries?

Thats been the norm since Reagan.

Some of them get elected, and now hold very high office.

You will know them by their WORKS, not by their excuses.

Solidarity!

15. It's nothing new.

I still consider Kerry to have been a ringer, and I'm starting to think the same way about Obama.

16. Are we talking here about fake Democrats recruited by the DNC, or the RNC?

--- where did this come from ?

Here is a reminder, DUmbasses.. http://republican4aday.com/

This site and others like it work to push losing and/or RINO candidates through primaries. As always, once your techniques come back to bite you, you feign ignorance.  :whatever:

Uh huh.

Exactly.

But he won't get away with it, of course.

I can't believe he can't see his own hypocrisy.

Of course he doesn't.

He's a primitive, after all.
