Why?

Lockheed thanking a guy who brought them a ton of money bothers me a lot.

Like I said, Murtha was definitely not my favorite.

She has been a lot more to the left than I thought she would be. Especially on social issues.

He's no better than most Republicans.

Heaven forbid he not be a left wing fundamentalist.

So if you are far to the left you must be a "nutbag" or "fundamentalist"?

yeah, k, well since we want more left wing politicians, we hate bayh. Further, he just sets a lot of arbitrary, contrarian stances to bills just to seem "centrist"

He's a big time corporate shill. You can continue to support guys like him if you like Athomeboy.

I removed nutbag because it wasnt what I meant to say. By fundamentalist, I meant someone who is in lock step with the ideology of the far left. I've spent months complaining about the GOP trying to "purge" it self with anyone who isnt in lock step with the far right ideology. I think it's stupid to rejoice over some on your side retiring because they didnt completely agree with the far left ideology 100% of the time. I LOVE the fact that the democratic party is a more open umbrella than the GOP.

You'll love to see him join some lobbying group to make millions. Shows how much he truly cared about his constituents. How Palin-esque

FOr the record, I am not a huge fan of him either (I remember the story told on here about how much of a D-Bag he is). Just making the argument that sometimes it's better to have someone on your side, even if he isnt completely with you.

Greenwald:

How long will it be before Evan Bayh joins Dan Coats' lobbying firm? Maybe Bayh and Coats can switch jobs.

I wonder, having watched the last year, whether Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, and similar folks have done more to hurt the Democratic party than they would have had they been outright republicans saying 100% no on everything. We're in this funny zone right now where the people who benefit from no action on anything are the people who currently have all the money, and pretty much any change would wind up hurting them.

Who cares if he does? I see no problem with that.

 

Evan Bayh just proves that he's the piece of s*** so many people thought he was, by blaming gridlock as his reason for retiring. Instead of fighting to get things passed, he's just rolling over to obstructionism because of obstructionism.

Yeah, not really sorry to see that POS go.

The deadline to file to run for the Senate in Indiana is this Friday.

 

Thanks Evan. Really gives us a lot of time to recruit a top tier contender.

As long as he's looking out for himself, as always, then who cares.
