Political Games - Where the fuck’s the reset button?

Booman Tribune makes a good point: he doesn’t know anybody who wants to vote for Bob Casey. I don’t either.

Does anybody from PA know anyone who wants to vote for Bob Casey? Oh, and the Booman’s right on one other count:

Rick Santorum is one of the most loathsome politicians in America. He is also the least popular Senator in America in his home state. He is vile terrible person. Defeating Santorum should not only be one of our greatest priorities this year, but working toward that goal should be a joy…it should be fun and exciting.

Bob Casey as an opponent ruins that chance. Pennacchio and Sandals are all that is standing in the way of a showdown between Casey and Santorum. Casey won’t even debate them.

Casey should drop out of the fucking race. All he is accomplishing with his anti-gay rights, anti-science, anti-choice candidacy is to piss off Democrats and Democratic activists.

We need to send a message to Chuck Schumer that we don’t want to ever see a candidate like Bob Casey recruited again. Schumer clears the field for Casey and then has the unmitigated gall to get indignant about abortion rights in the Alito hearings. Watching that display of gross hypocrisy literally turned my stomach. I had to eat a saltine cracker to absorb some of the bile that aroused in me. If I could of slapped Schumer through the television set, I would have.

Goddamn Casey endorsed Alito. Did you notice that, Schumer? Your fucking boy stepped all over your message. What a goddamn clown you are to think Bob Casey was the right choice for Pennsylvania.

Yes, I’ve decided to be a little more active as the primary approaches. Casey is obviously a wanker, and I think that PA Dems need to support Chuck Pennacchio [sorry Alan Sandals… but there can be only one!] for our Senate nominee. Besides being a “better liberal”, he’s got one other thing: consistency. Chuck has laid out a consistent ideology and a series of issues and where he stands on them. He’s got a clear message, and he’s sticking to his guns. Bob, on the other hand… is kind of an idiot. His support of Alito is based entirely off the anti-choice thing, completely ignoring every other stance Alito has [worker’s rights, for example, which Alito is TERRIBLE on] that conflicts with him. I think John at AmericaBlog articulates it better:

Will I continue to support Casey over Santorum? Define “support.” Would I vote for Casey if I lived in Pennsylvania? Yes. Will I pull out all stops to help Casey? Unlikely.

What Mr. Casey needs to learn is that the game isn’t decided simply by saying “the Santorum-haters have nobody else to support, ha ha ha.” We can still be dispirited by your candidacy, and sit back and not help very much, and write lots of bad things about you on a regular basis because you often kind of make us sick. That will affect your fundraising, your media, and your get-out-the-vote. And if you don’t think any of that matters, then you don’t deserve to be a Senator.

If Casey beats Santorum, yes that helps the Democrats take over the Senate. But a Senator Casey will be another Lieberman, screwing us every time he gets up to vote. And that’s something we’ll tolerate only so long. Mr. Casey might want to watch what Joe Lieberman goes through this spring as we all support his Democratic opponent in the primary. Casey could be next.
