Bill Enyart. Jerry Costello was a cloying, unprincipled anti-ideologue, but Enyart makes him look positively useful in comparison.

Enyart seems to feel he must appeal to the lowest-common-denominator white trash around here as a counterbalance to the Negroes in East Saint Louis and Cahokia. I hope he gets primaried by a black man someday.

Why do we still use this word? Its not racist by any means, but not exactly pleasant.

Well OK

To reply to your topic, 95% of politicians are sell-outs and are bought and payed for by lobbyists and powerful organizations. Its not exactly surprising that they'll pretend to care about certain groups of people.

Enyart's opponent is best known for throwing tantrums on the House floor, and you're saying he appeals to the lowest common denominator?

I'm dying.

I know.

My problem with Enyart isn't just that he panders, but that he panders to white conservadems who are inessential to carrying the district.

I don't know Meursault it mostly comes across as trying to be controversial and edgy, which is kind of obnoxious.

Why don't you run against him in the Democratic Primary next time? If he's so out of touch you may be able to give him a run for his money. You can attract the Negro vote.

Not for me. My corrupt ideologue of an ex-Congressman is making another run after getting sent to the unemployment line.

He's from southern Illinois. That's commonspeak there.

Yes. I survived Frank Guinta.

Apparently he's now whining about how Romney and he lost NH because of "mass voter fraud".

Hopefully one of the negroes runs against Bost. They won't even have to primary Enyart now!
