Report: Sandra Fluke Mulls Run for Henry Waxman's Seat

Sandra Fluke, the birth-control activist who helped Democrats launch their "Republican war on women" theme in the 2012 elections, is reported to be considering a run for the seat being vacated by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA). Waxman announced his retirement after 20 terms in the U.S. House on Thursday morning.

Fluke, who reports her profession as "Social Justice Attorney," is from Los Angeles. The field of potential Democratic candidates is already filling quickly with state and local politicians who have bided their time for four decades, waiting for Waxman to leave an opening. But Fluke's national profile could draw big donors.

Alice Walson, political reporter for local public radio station KPCC, tweeted Thursday that Fluke was "strongly considering" a run. Under California's new "jungle primary" system, she would be competing with a long list of Democrats, plus any Republicans or independent candidates who decided to join the political fray....

I could really use a job, been out of work for awhile, just doing independent contracting for a company I used to work for, it would be nice to have an actual job and Texas is beautiful but I won’t route for the spurs or rockets :)

Fun Fact. Wax man’s district is the most rich district in the USA.

He is the rep for the 1%.

Let’s see ....going from a man whose face qualifies as instant birth control to a woman who wants everybody else to pay for her birth control? Seems like a one issue congressional district.

She wants to keep government out of her bedroom,
but wants it to pay for everything that
goes on in there.

She would be a worthy successor to Waxman. Her career would be as distinguished as Waxman’s.

Fluke doesn’t have a chance against Bloomfield (I) — ran against Waxman in 2012. Very capable and has the support of the coastal cities — Redondo, Manhatten, Hermosa, Pacific Palisades, SM(?).

I’d put up a yard sign for Bloomfield if I hadn’t gotten a window broken in 2012 over a low level City Planning Commissioner fellow (a Repub) I supported. He won but I lost repair money.

How would she have the time to run with all the birth control she needs?

Well...I suppose that she’ll be very busy in the Congressional Cloak Room. Will they refer to her as Congresswoman Choo-Choo?

I can just see it now.

I grew up in Chino.

Isn't that where CIM is? I was at CSP Solano (Vacaville) for 23 years.

President Reagan was famous for keeping a huge jar of jelly beans nearby.

Congressslut Fluke will have a jar full of rubbers and morning-after pills nearby?

and who’s shocked to see her entering politics?

Will Madeline Kahn’s “I’m Tired” from Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles” be Miss Fluke’s campaign theme song?

Fluke is after Waxman’s seat? Is there no one this slut won’t do?

I hope that bimbo slut does run. That will give us a chance to take that seat away from the Dems.
