Evan Bayh; Taxes are For Killing People
…..and Blowing Stuff Up
Writing about Evan Bayh’s complete lack of principle is like shooting a whale in a thimble – it is far to easy, he doesn’t even try very hard anymore. He seems to know that he is seen as a weasel on both sides of the political divide and is happy to have fun with it.

Tamyra D’Ippolito; Primary Challenge for Evan Bayh
Tamyra d’Ippolito is currently gathering the 4,500 signatures she needs for a primary run against Senator Evan Bayh (Wellpoint-Indiana)
D’ippolito is running to the left of Bayh (not difficult) attacking his performance especially on health care reform and consistently refers to him as a Blue Dog.
Technically speaking the Blue Dogs are a specific group in the US House of Representatives, the equivalent in the senate are the Conservadems. If I recall correctly Bayh may have coined this name himself on one of his frequent ego trips during Obama’s first couple of months as President. I see no reason not to use this terminology against him. Blue Dog sounds almost heroic, certainly when put up against the weasely sounding Conservadem tag.
I would like to see Bayh toppled as our senator not so much for his stand on particular issues but rather his lack of a stand on the issues. Bayh’s grandstanding is always politically motivated, always about positioning himself.
I really do wish Tamyra luck but cannot in all honesty see her toppling the Bayh political machine.
