Democrats for Values Blog

Bill Gluba is an experienced Democrat, lives and worked for his state and his District all his life. He is a dedicated Democrat that has successfully help thousands of people get out poverty through the policies he has implemented as a state legislator. There is of course one thing that is a negative in the eyes of the Democratic Leadership. He is pro-life and takes his religion seriously. If he were in a "red" state and not a battleground state such as Iowa, that really wouldn't matter either, but it's not. Bill was trying to continue to serve the residents of Iowa in the US Congress, just like he has done for the last 30 years, but because of his "right wing" stances, he was shunned from the DCCC and never giving a fair go in the primary.

Now who's going up against the Republican in November, a Democratic candidate who's only real claim to fame is he is the only Pro-Choice Candidate running for the district, Democrat or Republican. Good for him, way crystallize everything the Democratic Party stands for, the party that is Pro-Choice. Why don't we just call it the Pro-Choice Party. It has more relevance anyway. This is just a travesty that should not have been allowed to happen. Bill has much more experience winning elections hands down and in the contest such as this one, wouldn't it be obvious to back the person with not only the most experience, but the one with a boarder overall base of support?

Apparently not to the DCCC.
