You know, that list reminded me of my encounter with Heath Shuler, Blue Dog Democrat from North Carolina, in the hallway of the Cannon office building a couple of days after the 9/12 DC march. It started with my comment, “You’re not going to let Nancy Pelosi lead you around by the nose on this health care bill, are you?” It was a 5 minute conversation that seemed to catch him offguard and make him uncomfortable. He made an effort to marginalize and cast some suspicion on the Tea Party people. “What group are you with?”, he asked as he scrutinized my “Don’t Tread on Me” lapel pin. My last image is of him running away from the conversation when I stood my ground. And as we made our last comments, of him standing halfway in the elevator door with the door repeatedly trying to close and hitting him in the back and reopening. Maybe that conversation played a small part in his “No” vote after all.
The fact is that several if not most of these SOB’s could and should be turned out by voters back in their districts. Send a couple of dollars to their opponents and publicize how these smelly jackasses are Nancy Botoxi lovin’ pests.
