Hi, I’m mkpowers, long time reader, first time poster here at SSP. My pet issue is the insanity of my representative, Dana Rohrabacher, a certifiable whack-job who’s been in power in this district for 20 years. His Democratic challenger, who unfortunately is going to lose, is Debbie Cook, the progressive mayor of Huntington Beach.
Unfortunately, my Congressman’s insanity reached new lows with an article coming from the website of the OC Weekly:
Rohrabacher went in drag to solve already solved RFK assassination?
More below the fold!
Rohrabacher is scary. He has claimed that global warming is the result of “dinosaur flatulence” and shilled for the Taliban in the early ’90s, blaming the “liberal media” for the bad rap the Taliban had.
But I thought he was just a partisan hack, and not certifiably insane:
According to a September 25, 2008, Pasadena Weekly article by Carl Kozlowski, Rohrabacher believes that the Los Angeles Police Department has for 40 years hidden the fact that Sirhan Sirhan, the lone man convicted of shooting Kennedy, worked as part of a “real conspiracy” of Arabs.
Buh? I’m not sure what else I can really write about this article other than quoting every paragraph and simply writing “buh?” to all of it, it is really that insane.
I would like to remind all the SSP readers that Rohrabacher has been re-elected nine times and is coming up on his tenth re-election campaign which he will likely win. I’m so sorry for anyone else that lives in this district.
A real black helicopter type. Hopefully a democratic gerrymander in 2012 can rid us of him.
Why am I hearing disappointment about Debbie Cook?
And will I have to yell at this just like I’m currently yelling at IN-Gov?
A couple of things, Debbie Cook is running strong and hard, if she wasn’t, Rohrabacher wouldn’t be as scared as he is. Actually showing up in the district and running mailings against her.
As for Democratic gerrymandering, he’s not going anywhere. In Californa, a seat that is Democratic, is made safe for Democrats and vise versa. He’ll be there until he decides to leave. Unless of course Debbie Cook gets the money that she needs. hint hint
This is actually a winable race, much more than half the ‘long shots’ that most people talk about. I’ve walked this district, he is not popular, not even with Republicans. I’ve so far encountered ONE woman who said she supported him.
The campaign has a large amount of voluteers and our goal is to knock on every door in the district before election day. It is possible, I just wish that the netroots would stop raving about Senate races in KS, OK and NE that we have maybe better than a snowballs chance in hell of winning short of a macaca moment, and focus on races against idiot Republicans that are beatable.
*It should be noted however that the Senators from KS and OK are fairly insane, but my point still stands! haha
She’s been the underdog in every race or cause she’s ever took on, and she’s a fighter that will prevail on Nov. 4.
She has continued to run TV ads across the district and has a volunteer base that’s second to none.
She is running a smart campaign. Rohrabacher did a poll in late September and is worried.
