Man, that picture sure looks familiar.
He’s an embarrassment to the whole Chicago area. As was his father.
I’m not sure this is a good time for Party infighting. There’s very little Dan Lipinksi can do right now to harm abortion rights, so why focus attention on him? Don’t we have more important matters to attend to?
Glad to see Emily’s List, PP and others calling DCCC’s bluff.
They aren’t going to Blackball these groups.
I wouldn’t call those groups “progressive”, they’re quite mainstream.
Stop calling groups like EMILY’s List, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and NARAL Pro-Choice America, anti-abortion they are pro-choice in fact it is in the name of NARAL.
Pelosi is not going to be happy. She does not want Democratic voters to have a choice in congressional primaries. She only wants her bought-and-paid-for incumbents re-elected.
Can’t have any more AOCs!
It is Pelosi’s Incumbent Protection Racket.
The endorsements could also put the powerful liberal groups on a collision course with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is forcing its vendors to sign a loyalty pledge that bars them from working for primary opponents of any sitting House Democratic members.
Thanks, Nancy!
If the DCCC wants to die on the hill of Dan Lipinski, they will die a dismal and unmourned death.
Give it up, DCCC. You are going to lose this badly, and you’re going to piss off too many people we need in 2020. If you’re going to defend a candidate, pick one that’s worth it and one that is not basically a RW Republican.
For whatever this is worth, when confronting idiots like this guy, ask what moral authority he relies on for his “anti-abortion” stance. If you’re lucky, he’ll say “the bible”. If so, you’re home free. Not only is there nothing whatsoever in the bible that protects life, it’s quite the opposite. The invisible man in the sky described in the bible is a genocidal maniac that couldn’t be less “pro-life”. Not only did this monstrous invention of man’s fevered imagination flood/drown the entire planet, it also randomly murdered all the first-born males in Egypt, had Samarian women (with child) butchered along with their fetuses and infants, and dozens of other incidents of wanton human slaughter. For more lunacy found in “the bible”, please refer to “The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible”. Praise! Glory! Amen.

Will you PLEASE stop posting pics of Ivanka and Jared!
It’s time the Party takes the stance that control of reproduction is a basic human right, and those who oppose this right are as evil as slavers, since they seek to enslave women for breeding. Why do we still have supporters of slavery in our Party?
Even before I opened up the article, I knew it was about Lipinski. First elected in 2004, he doesn’t seem to have much trouble being re-elected. Having said that, he narrowly defeated Newman last time so maybe his constituents are getting tired of him. There appears to be some softness in his support.
ETA: @whit have no idea. Why don’t you ask Lipinski’s constituents cause they don’t seem to have a problem with him.
Sometimes I think the Dems are pushing for a third party.
Just googled and his district is quite interesting though. Not as white as I presumed. Hispanics’ conservative lean on social issues should be a warning sign to Dems.
It’s never a “good time for Party infighting”. But it still has to happen.
He reps DuPage county. White and conservative. With a name like Lipinski, I suspect he’s Catholic. Not the hill to die on Dems. We have bigger battles
I thought it was junior and Eric.
To be clear, I do have a problem with Lipinski but, having said that, he isn’t my Rep. The people of his district have the right to choose whoever they see fit to represent them until it becomes clear that he no longer represents them. (See Gohmert, Louie).
Most of the district is southwest side and adjacent suburbs. It does bleed into DuPage but only a small part of the district.
