The Daily Kos diary made the rec list - something that has happened 3-4 times since 2006 when I began writing there. 273 recommended it, 146 shared it. The vote in the poll was:
"I'd like my Representative to advocate for Michele Bachmann's removal from the House Intelligence Committee. Agree 98% 708 votes Disagree 1% 9 votes 717 votes" At Truthout, 2,300 "liked," 178 tweeted, 148 shared. http://truth-out.org/news/item/10653-former-us-officials-call-for-bachmann-to-be-replaced-on-intelligence-committee At Huffington Post, 1,032 recommended, 185 shared. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-naiman/former-us-officials-call-_b_1728771.html The masses get this. There's a limit to how many people we can engage on what kind of waiver the President should have on the latest round of Iran sanctions. But the masses understand Bachmann in a visceral way. She is the Mean Girl, the Fourth Heather, the Slobodan Milosevic of Minnesota, who rides to political power by bullying the weak and the marginalized. They want her to be punished. They want her off the Intelligence Committee. Not to press our advantage on this is to leave money on the table... -- Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org [email protected] _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
