Ed Fallon Displays Agricultural Expertise

Despite being a city slicker from Sherman Hill, Ed Fallon displayed his agricultural expertise last week when he reaped what he sowed with Al Gore’s endorsement of Leonard Boswell. To paraphrase what Fallon said about the former Vice President, Gore can’t support Fallon, won’t support Fallon and thinks Democratic primary voters in the 3rd District shouldn’t support Fallon either. Fallon notoriously betrayed the Democratic Party and stabbed Gore in the back and is now facing the consequences of his actions. This endorsement came the same day as a KCCI poll came out that showed Boswell thumping Fallon by nearly 25 points. Even if every undecided voter broke for Fallon, Boswell would still win 52-48. In addition, national publications such as the Hotline and Real Clear Politics are counting Fallon out.
Iowa named a county after Nathaniel Greene, a Revolutionary War General who presided over the trial and execution of John Andre, Benedict Arnold’s accomplice. It’s doubtful though whether the state will grant any such honor to Leonard Boswell when he presides over the death knell of a modern day Benedict Arnold’s political career on June 3rd but Boswell will be deserving of it.

ROTFL–so now Fallon is a threat to the Republic like Benedict Arnold.
Aren’t the members of Congress supposed to uphold the constitution?
I have this crazy idea that the president shouldn’t be able to suspend habeas corpus or order American citizens to be wiretapped without a warrant, but Leonard Boswell apparently feels differently.
I love how you keep ignoring Boswell’s long record of voting against the majority of House Democrats, with the majority of House Republicans, on many issues of national importance. Who is the traitor to our party again?

The Democratic Party is the real traitor for supporting the invasion of Iraq, the invasion of Afghanistan, the invasion of Kosovo and the invasion of Haiti. Ed Fallon has been the one loyal to the cause of peace throughout. End war, vote Fallon.

[…] overly negative towards Ed Fallon during the primary. In particular, a post that compared Fallon to Benedict Arnold for his endorsement of Ralph Nader in 2000. In retrospect, Fallon clearly learned his lesson from […]
