I have one more thing-- two lists-- to say about last week's FISA vote and the betrayal by the New Dems and Blue Dogs (the Republican wing of the Democratic Party). Currently there are 51 New Dems in Congress, mostly corrupt garbage with a very few exceptions.The New Dems provided Ryan, Trumpanzee and McCarthy with the votes they needed to pass the Republican FISA bill. Without the treacherous Dems they couldn't have passed it because 45 Republicans bailed on them. Of the 51 New Dems these 35 voted with Ryan and the Republicans against the overwhelming majority of actual Democrats:
• Pete Aguilar (CA)• Ami Bera (CA)• Lisa Blunt (DE)• Anthony Brown (MD)• Julia Brownley (CA)• Cheri Bustos (IL)• Andre Carson (IN)• Jim Costa (CA)• Charlie Crist (FL)• Henry Cuellar (TX)• John Delaney (MD)• Val Demings (FL)• Bill Foster (IL)• Josh Gottheimer (NJ)• Jim Himes (CT)• Bill Keating (MA)• Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL)• Ann Kuster (NH)• Sean Patrick Maloney (NY)• Gregory Meeks (NY)• Seth Moulton (MA)• Stephanie Murphy (FL)• Don Norcross (NJ)• Tom O'Halleran (AZ)• Ed Perlmutter (CO)• Scott Peters (CA)• Mike Quigley (IL)• Kathleen Rice (NY)• Adam Schiff (CA)• Brad Schneider (IL)• David Scott (GA)• Terri Sewell (AL)• Kyrsten Sinema (AZ)• Norma Torres (CA)• Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL)
As of this week, these are the congressional candidates the New Dems are trying-- with copious help from the DCCC-- to get into Congress. Please use the list as a guide to who not to support or vote for, particularly not in primaries. Obviously, there are no progressive candidates on this list:
• Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-02)• Greg Stanton (AZ-09)• Dave Min (CA-45)• Harley Rouda (CA-48)• Hans Keirstead (CA-48)• Lauren Baer (FL-18)• Jason Crow (CO-06)• Paul Davis (KS-02)• Elissa Slotkin (MI-08)• Angie Craig (MN-02)• Dean Phillips (MN-03)• Dan McCready (NC-09)• Brad Ashford (NE-02)• Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11)• Max Rose (NY-11)• Anthony Brindisi (NY-22)• Mob-connected socialite Susie Lee (NV-03)• Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06)• Jana Lynne Sanchez (TX-06)• Jay Hulings (TX-23)• Ben McAdams (UT-04)• R.D. Huffstetler (VA-05)• Dan Kohl (WI-06)
