I created the ‘Pervert’ series because Iowa’s two Senators have betrayed the people they claim to represent.

Grassley is perverting our judiciary by giving cover to those within his party who would sell out our country in their lust for power and control.

(Feinstein’s recent rebuttal of Grassley and his Judiciary committee illuminates Grassley’s partisan zealotry:

www.feinstein.senate.gov/...).

Key quote from Feinstein’s rebuttal: “This Committee should dedicate its resources and attention to getting to the bottom of exactly what Russia did during the 2016 election and who was involved – not attacking voluntary sources and the nation’s leading law enforcement agencies.”

BAM.

And Joni Ernst because she just voted for a one trillion dollar deficit as part of the Republican budget, and she’s bankrolled to a significant extent by the Koch Brothers.

Democrats are too often spineless milquetoasts when it comes to messaging. DWS runs an unimaginative, centrist organization (i.e. bland, boring), when DNC should be more aggressive in pointing out differences between Democrat & Republican tickets across the board. She might as well be paid by the RNC.

This is the kind of ad the DNC should be running now, and hammering it hard:

(maybe Susan Sarandon narrates?)

“We’re Democrats.

In the past eight years, under President Obama’s leadership, we’ve brought the American economy back. (Images of GM/Ford workers) We’ve added new jobs to the economy for the past 76 months, and in 2010 alone, we created more jobs than Bush did during his entire administration.

The Bush Administration. That was a disaster, wasn’t it? (Image of Bush on flight deck with Mission Accomplished banner, Katrina) The economy was in shambles, we were mired in two wars, and people worldwide thought that the United States had lost its way.

Despite rabid opposition from Republicans from the first day of his administration, (McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Ted Cruz filibuster) President Obama has still managed to enact health care reform, pass an equal pay for women act, bring Osama bin Laden to justice, (Boehner crying) and fix the mess the Republicans left behind. (Boarded up suburban home) And we didn’t have to trample civil rights or scapegoat our fellow Americans to get it done. (Westboro/Klan/anti-trans protesters)

We’re Democrats. We got you out of the last Republican disaster (images of foreclosures, bank meltdown, layoffs, Iraq).

We’ll keep you from the next one too (Trump with Sarah Palin).

Swamp the Swamp

We the people need to figure out an effective counter-strategy to Republican obstruction and filibuster. In short, we need to swamp the swamp! Sen. Mitch McConnell is facing re-election in 2014, what if he found it impossible to get any fundraising done because his phone lines were jammed, his inbox full and his political infrastructure overwhelmed by legitimate (legal) inquiries, comments or requests. Imagine if every politician needed to think twice about obstructing a routine judicial appointment because they knew the people's response would hit them in the pocketbook. Ideas? Suggestions?
