JIM AND CHRIS' EXCELLENT ADVENTURE AMONG REACTIONARY DEMOCRATS: MEET BARON HILL

First of all, anyone named Baron should have probably been a Republican. And anyone with Baron Hill's positions on the issues of the day, is a Republican in spirit if not by party affiliation. Chris Cillizza and Jim VandeHei, their minds rapidly deteriorating from too many Mike Weaver "Democrats" and too much fried food, take us to Indiana's 9th congressional district today, where there is a rematch between reactionary former Congressman Baron Hill (D, kinda) and far more reactionary current Congressman Mike Sodrel (KKK).

In 2004, Hill lost his seat by 1,500 and still has no clue that it was because he offered no alternative to Republicans. He's using the same losing game-plan to try to re-capture the seat and may well be swept up in the anti-incumbent fever sweeping the land. The clueless duo from The Post are still buying into Hill's crap about conservative Democrats being ticked off. In order to make sure they understand that Hill is as reactionary as they want him to be, he's come out swinging and everything remotely connected to the party he purports to be part of. "Hill campaigns as a social conservative, opposed to abortion, gun control and gay marriage... The Hill strategy is to emphasize his faith and family values, and talk basketball as often as possible to show his distinctly Indiana upbringing." Sodrel calls him a liberal.

The DCCC loves Baron Hill. He's exactly Rahm Emanuel's kind of Big Business-friendly hack who goes along with the filthy corporate agenda that screws ordinary Americans day in and day out. Whatever idealism or core values he may have once possessed are long in the past and his positions on crucial issues have nothing whatsoever to do with the Democratic Party. Take a look at this disgraceful, pure Republican video at the very top of his website. When you get a request from the DCCC or any of their shills asking for your money, please remember that, for the most part, the donations DO NOT GO to anti-war candidates or to progressives or to populists. A check to the DCCC goes to electing creeps like Hill and to put Emanuel into a position of power over the congressional caucus. Forget the Baron Hills and other Republicans-in-Democratic clothing candidates and support real Democrats like Ned Lamont, Coleen Rowley, Jerry McNerney, Victoria Wulsin, Tony Trupiano, Jay Fawcett, Robert Rodriguez, John Hall... candidates who make us proud to be Democrats.
