There have been many diaries on the differences between W and (now) Senator Webb. These diaries usually point out the breadth of experience Sen. Webb has in foreign policy, military experience, and respect for the middle class. Quite a few has said that Senator Webb would make a significantly better president than 43, and have urged him to run for office.
So how is it, that for all of the praise for my beloved Virginia Senator, the difference between W and Webb has come down to one dollar?? That’s right - $1! Right now, in the YearlyKos auction, there is only a Washington separating W from Webb! In fact, President Little Boots (name blatantly stolen from TRex on FDL) is apparently worth more to Kossacks than my Senator! How can you allow the George W. Bush Naval Aviator Action Figure to sell for more than an autographed book by the former Secretary of the Navy? A book which was donated by the senator specifically for this auction?
We have several such discrepancies in the auction, and I hope your sense of fairness won’t allow them to continue!
- We have a collection of seven, original democratic presidential campaign buttonsthat range from William Jennings Bryant to Lyndon B. Johnson.
- If that isn’t compelling enough, we have memorabilia from the infamous 1968 Democratic Convention! These items survived riots to be offered to you!
- And, if you need a break from the slings and tear gas of politics, we have a pair of rare, antique decorative plates. These bucolic images will provide solace after a day of fighting for those few rights you have remaining.
Please remember, as you right these wrongs, your donations will go to this August’s YearlyKos Conventionin Chicago! autographed book by the former Secretary of the Navy
