Feb 2016

This movement REALLY needs to start bleeding over into the Senate and house races.

My posts here may be mostly pro-Hillary, but all of my focus and the little $$ I can toss into it is focused on getting that republican jackass John Culberson out of office and James Cargas, the only Democrat running in my US congressional district into that spot. Sadly, it's not looking good.. but I'm trying like hell. Neither of my 2 miserable Senators are up this year either.

I'm really hoping this wave is sustainable and develops into it's own Tea party type of movement (but for smart people). I'd LOVE to see this turn into big Democratic challenges to Republican seats, and progressive Democratic challenges to Blue dogs (much like the freaks in the Tea Party waged challenges and pushed moderate Repubs out for their agenda, but for PROGRESSIVE issues).
