Tell the Democratic Leadership Council to dump Ford and replace him with a chair who respects women and supports reproductive freedoms. Ford is also a Wall Street bankster and I don't think that is appropriate for Democratic leadership either.

And he is also opposed to marriage equality for gays and lesbians.

Jeez, Harry, don't you think you have enough confidence problems from being such a doormat in the US Senate?

Nope.

Ford is a bankster.

Ford opposes a woman's right to hold dominion over her own body.

Ford opposes marriage equality based on "tradition" (the same "tradition" that would see him enslaved now).

Ford is a loser, DINO

Reid should worry about his own upcoming race, from what I've read in the Washington Post, he's running behind. If he's looking for blame, look no further than Obama, Paterson and Schumer, they all have had a say in this.

I for one will never vote for Gillibrand, she should pack her bags and go back upstate and take care of her kids.

This is exactly what is wrong with our political system, the candidate to run for office is chosen by either the democratic party or the republican party. Harold Ford should run against Kirsten Gillibrand and let the voters decide. If you can't get the backing of a party run as an independent. Give people a choice and let the best candidate win. We are being spoon feed our candidates and it is time we elect people that will work for the people and not either political party.

[Pie7]

I concur!

[Artemis34]

He's a DINO.
