Great job Sharon...

Sadly, it just keeps getting worse and worse in this country of ours.

dayum, girl! this one ROCKS!

...oh, and i'm sure you're as disappointed in lampson and cuellar as i am. sad.

Faith Chatham said...

Good job Sharon. There have been fewer Democrats in office. Now we must be selective and elect decent Democrats with integrity to office or we'll see the list of corrupt Democrats grow. Merely getting anyone with the Democratic label won't cut it. How fat their bank accounts are cannot be the litmus test for a "viable candidate."

TXsharon said...

I agree, Faith! I am far from a win at all costs Democrat. I don't want any more corrupt Democrats hung around our necks. We need to all be vigilant in cleaning up this horrendous political mess and in accepting no less than impeccable ethics.

Very interesting post, and useful for activists. I hope to link to it very soon in one of my posts. Good work!

TXsharon said...

Anon 9:54: Thank you for that link. Too bad those people don't get something going on in their own bedrooms instead of worrying about what's going on in everyone else's. They might not be so twisted...

Great work, Sharon. I'm bookmarking for future reference.

Wow. Thank you, TXsharon. Your well-researched list gives me boatloads of ammunition in battling the insane right wing. Take care girl and keep up the awesome work. All the best, Libby Shaw
