It’s quite well known around here that, aside from Gayle Ruzicka’s phone tree list, Jim Matheson is afraid of voters and reporters – and that Allyson Heyrand will do whatever she can to Jim away from any public event where she doesn’t control at least 95% of his movement and words.
It’s a little sad and pathetic – and, ironically enough, this candy-ass, sissy behavior is one of the main negative hits as why Republicans in Utah wont vote Democrat – because they think we’re all a bunch of sissies. Insert rueful laughter here.
Utah Health Care Reform, (a group probably already targeted by the Utah Democratic Party for membership blacklisting, complaining about and their famous ‘behind the back whispering’ for not closing their eyes, holding their noses and just swallowing the Matheson Camp BS in silence) is taking matters into their own intelligent, good looking and civic minded hands.
Dear friends, please help us get the word out about the big event coming up on Monday, August 31st.
You can download and print these flyers on your own home printer, send them to a service like fedex office or staples, or just email them to people you think would like to have the information.
We have created a drop.io account for the files, you can access it by clicking here – http://drop.io/uthealth and the guest access password is – reform
Please check back soon as we will be adding a flyer which has been translated into Spanish.
Take a moment to give their site a once over – I think you’ll be impressed. Print off a few thousand fliers (on recycled paper), pass them out and help remind Jim Matheson what a representative is supposed to do – meet with constituents.
Would you be shitting all over Matheson if you had been elected chair?
What a dick u r!
Yes, I would. I’d obviously do it differently, but, yes, I would.
Go along to get along – selling out my ideals, ethics and values for political expediency is something I would never do.
Every time Jim votes to send American jobs to other countries –
Every time Jim votes to drill holes and dig mines in our parks –
Every time Jim votes to favor private industry over the working American –
Every time Jim votes to stop health care reform with GOP lies –
Every time Jim goes on Fox News –
Every time Jim votes to favor Wal-Mart over the Union worker –
Every time Jim praises things like Torture, warentless wiretapping, the Patriot Act, Iraq – the status quo –
Someone ought to be there to point out that, in these many ways, Jim’s spinelessness IS NOT an example of Democratic Values.
Someone ought to be there to point out that avoiding difficult issues, doing the right thing, standing on principle, being a leader and not a perpetual candidate afraid of his own platform IS NOT how every Democrat behaves.
Someone ought to be there to help buffer the blows that Jim’s CYA voting record have slammed into the working families of Utah.
Someone ought to be there to show that Jim’s being a chickenshit isn’t an example of more than, say, about 60% of the party – including little skid marks like you, “John”.
On the other hand, if you’ve ever caught my Radio Program, you’d know that I do celebrate Jim’s work on keeping waste out of our state, cleaning up the waste we’ve already been stuck with, veteran’s issues, issues on service members – when Jim does something right – I am one of the first, and loudest, to use it as an example of why Dems are so much better than any other party – when they’re strong.
I want a Democratic congressman in Utah that I can be proud of most of the time, not a DINO congressman that would make the words – “he’s our only federal Dem,” – the reason I should sit down, shut up and sell my soul to keep everyone happy.
So would I “shit on” Jim if I’d gotten elected? Yeah, I would – in a different way, certainly, but yes, in order to keep true to my ideals and values, I would keep the pressure on him, and his staff, when he ran to the right.
Oh, and “John,” I’d use full words and sentences, too. You ought to try it sometime.
John, disagreeing with a Congressman over a certain issue, or even a handful of issues does not equate to “shitting on.” At least not in my world, where we live in a democratic republic.
In addition, if the public desire is strong enough (I don’t know if it is in this case… but IF it is) then what is wrong about pressuring your elected official to sit down and meet with you?
