We need fewer Dicks

Yesterday, I pointed you to Joe Roberts. I noticed on his site this statement.

Neo-Cons like the $8+Trillion debt because they buy U.S. Bonds and collect interest. Neo-Con family values send children of working Americans to a war that boosts their defense contractor stock holdings. Neo-Cons ignore the Constitution and the law and encourage illegals to do the same. Neo-Con CEOs swill salaries of $100 Million plus, while cutting worker pay, benefits & retirement.

It's important to point out that Jeff Miller, the DeLaypublican Joe's running against received an F from the Drum Major Institute for his votes against middle class interests.

Also, it turns out there's confirmation of part of that statement. Cheney's money people think administration policies will make the dollar sink and inflation rise:

The Cheneys held another $1 million to $5 million in Vanguard Tax-Exempt Money Market fund (VMSXX, news, msgs), which is practically risk-free and could benefit from continued increases in short-term interest rates. And the couple had between $2 million and $10 million in Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities fund (VIPSX, news, msgs). The principal and interest payments of inflation-protected bonds rise along with consumer prices, making them good inflation hedges...The Cheneys also had between $10 million and $25 million in American Century International Bond (BEGBX, news, msgs). The fund buys mainly high-quality foreign bonds (predominantly in Europe) and rarely hedges against possible increases in the value of the dollar. Indeed, its prospectus limits dollar exposure to 25% of assets and the fund currently has only 6% of assets in dollars, according to an American Century spokesman.

We need more Joes and fewer Dicks.

I'm going to keep saying this until you start listening: It's up to us to push the 50 State Strategy. Show everyone that we're willing to fight.
