Iowa Democrats ‘embarrassed’ by progressive group
Source: Raw Story
By Eric W. Dolan
The antics of the progressive group Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (Iowa CCI) have gone too far, according to Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Sue Dvorsky.
Thirty members of Iowa CCI confronted Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) at his town hall event on Monday, where they questioned him about supporting the Paul Ryan budget plan. After the town hall, some members of the group crowded a hallway, asking him further questions and blocking his exit.
"The behavior of Iowa CCI is unproductive, embarrassing, and has no place in a serious debate," Dvorsky said Wednesday in a statement.
"Yes, we should be working to protect Social Security, doing everything to keep our air and water clean, and ask our elected officials tough questions. Unfortunately, this group has become less focused on results and more focused on creating chaos that gets their name in the paper."

23. Don't you know - we can't just ask questions anymore.

All questions must be submitted for approval at least 24 hours in advance of any public forum at which they are going to be asked. It's just not fair to the other side to expect them to come up with appropriate answers, without checking on what Rush would say first.
Good relations with the other side is the prime goal of our side, doncha know.

That's the protocol to speak with the esteemed zero.

Democrats who can't act like Democrats need to get the hell out and RESIGN! I'm sick and tired of wimps kissing right wing ass.
No difference.

10. Remind me of this....
"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans."
-- Paul Wellstone
Somebody managed to put an end to his rantings.

13. Notice he admits the party that had 60 senators could do anything they wanted!
Wonder what party that was? The ones who got us universal healthcare, let Bush tax cuts for the rich expire, ended the wars, got rid of NCLB? Oh that's right. They did nothing with their majority. Nothing. Guess that's what they WANTED to do.
It was the democrat party.
