david price

David Price has a solid piece up at Huffington Post, decrying the fire sale of democracy triggered by Citizens United.

Thom Tillis is laughing his ass off already.

The potential for a Democratic primary in May between two old political allies is already fraying a friendship that reaches back decades. Miller has begun questioning whether Price is too cozy with corporations, and the Price camp has leaked a poll raising doubts about Miller's support.

As some of you know, I live in the 4th district. My representative is David Price. Due to the new redistricting map drawn up by the GOTEA, Rep. Brad Miller may be forced to run against Rep. Price in 2012. This article talks about how Brad Miller has been a champion of liberal causes and it makes me wonder who I would vote for if it came down to these two fine reps running against each other.

I am curious to hear your views on this issue.

UPDATE: The terrorists won.

Big vote today. All in favor of surrendering to Republican economic terrorists, please vote "aye."

I'm calling David Price and Kay Hagan today to tell them to vote against this monstrosity. Whether you're for or against, do your duty too. Make the calls.

Voting against extending tax breaks to multimillionaires is easy to explain, as Representative Louise Slaughter does below in exactly 118 words. On the other hand, justifying a vote for "the deal" takes more than 2000. Just to say it, I can see that going along with Republicans is anything but a lose-lose strategy. It's destroying the Democrat's political base, and it's destroying the U.S. economy. The House of Representatives didn't just blink in the face of this Republican shakedown, it totally caved.

David Price is a friend and a neighbor, so I hate like hell to criticize him. But whatever the short-term benefits of his new plan to beef up border security, it's pouring good money after bad policy with no hope whatsoever of addressing the underlying problem.

With the cartels fighting the Mexican government and amongst themselves for drug, alien and weapons trafficking routes, we have to prevent any threat of spill over violence and shut down illicit smuggling operations,” Price said in a statement.

Cartels are fighting the Mexican government and among themselves for one reason and one reason only: America's idiotic War on Drugs. Sorry, Mr. Price. You're playing a game of international whack-a-mole, with a thousand times more moles than whackers. No amount of taxpayer money for border patrols will make any difference whatsoever ... and you know it.
