Nothing is liberal enough for them.

“Too Liberal” Ashley Judd? [View all]
 I’m so ****ing sick of the term “too liberal” on our side. Christ, can’t we understand that the answer to the term “too liberal” are Blue Dog Democrats.... How the hell is that working out for us?

It’s time we start stepping up and begin loosing the fear of screaming out, what we truly believe...
There has got to be a new beginning with Democrats and Progressives and the time for that is now!

1. I Live in Kentucky...

and I am quite upset Judd will not be running.

The alternative, Alison Lundergren Grimes, KY's current Sec of State, is far from a progressive, and if she is anything like her father and his family...a bit unsavory as well.

I will be the most surprised person on the planet if Grimes should beat McConnell. If she does, it will be because the Tea Party/Libertarians in the state run a candidate as well...

I was wishing Ashley Judd would run in Kentucky.

2. But you are Lucky she isn't running!

That's what the Washington Post told Me this morning:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2013/03/28/why-democrats-are-better-off-without-ashley-judd/?hpid=z3

After all, one of them "hollywood liberals' could never beat the Turtle!  

As has been noted many times, when you run a Republican against a republican, guess who wins? But of course the Very Important People like Chris Cillizza know what's best for us!

15. I'm disappointed too

I would have gladly contributed to her campaign even though I'm not from KY. In Oregon at the state level we are so solidly D that I feel we should help other states if there is a good candidate. Senator Warren received contributions from me during the last election cycle.

3. If we can't run traditional solid Democrats,

...then WHY BOTHER?

A charismatic Populist (FDR Working Class Democrat, like Huey Long)
with Party Support,
running on a platform of "Americans Who Work-for-a-Living Have Been Getting Screwed for 40 years"
can WIN anywhere.

We don't have to become them to Beat Them!

Okay, then how about "Too loony" for a descriptor?

They didn't mean to say that she was too liberal.  What they meant to say is that Kentuckians who could be swayed to vote democrat might be apalled at her attitude and arrogance, that a wealthy scion of a wealthy family who last had residence in Tennessee might be out of touch with the average Kentuckian, and lastly that she might spout what progressives actually believe and cost democratic politicians races in other states.

As far as their worship of FDR goes, none of them, not a single DUmmie anywhere has ever looked at FDR's history before becoming president.  He screwed over anyone and everyone, including the little guy.  One of the failures of the Coolidge administration was that they either didn't leave him in Haiti without the Marines or that they didn't toss him in jail over it as soon as he got back to America.
