Senator Evan Bayh Announces His Retirement
Senator Evan Bayh announced he will not seek another term in office. The Democratic Senator from Indiana says he’s grown tired of the partisan atmosphere in Congress. David Catanese, political reporter at POLITICO talks about Bayh’s decision and what it means for Washington.
Bayh is a closet Republican and he wants to come out.Sen.Bayh,bye and don’t let the door hit on the way out.
I’m so glad to be an Indep. But to be fair, Bayh was covering for Obama a bit (granted a day late) when he was blaming bipartisan Gridlock for the hold up so many things. Now can we get real? For OVER a yr Obama had not only a majority in the senate…but the magic number 60 majoirty…and a 52 point lead in the house. And he still got nothing done..we just cant blame George Bush or the Republicans this time, Barack! If you couldn’t get things done with THAT on your side, you’re just plain weak
Evan Bayh didn’t inherit any balls from his father. I know his father and Evan is no Birch Bayh. The elder Bayh was not afraid of controversial issues like the lame Evan is!
What good is it to be an independent when they don’t have any power?
They’re all a bunch of crooks and greedy bastards in Congress!!
LeeandTree: You’re definitely telling the truth!! They’re all lame and worthless!!
bahamabrz: Dare we say it? Dare we say what needs to be done?
djlarrylarr: This shit will continue to happen as long as people are more concerned with having their big house, fancy car, and/or vacation. And the government knows this. As long as we’re “distracted” worrying about our material possessions, they’ll be able to do whatever they want.
110% correct shawnsbigtube. We’re fuct.
and banks and taking away our freedoms under the guise of protection from terrorism. Frankly by the polls taken 2-10-2-15 80% of congress and house is getting fired this year. This man choosing Euthanasia for his political office rather than making it bitter and painful at the end is probably allot smarter, you didn’t do you jobs and the American people are going to hold you accountable on election day for all the evil shit you have done.
Voter Anger or Attacks ? So you aren’t interested in doing your job 10% unemployment 2 trillion dollars in debit to china, Iran stampeding towards nuclear weapons, Bank Bail outs, millions losing their homes. It seems congress and our government is more interested in giving money to big corps
djlarrylarr, it might have been necessary to push them out by force but all options would be on the table in economic collapse those responsible would be considered failures and asked to step down or removed. the American people would have ripped those in congress and the house apart. Not that our way of life and ideals wouldn’t have returned we just would have made sure those perverting and twisting our way of life and constitution went bye-bye
djlarrylarr, This is exactly why they did the bail outs had the greed corruption and screw over the people machine screeched to grinding halt when, peoples bank accounts went empty their power got turned off and America couldn’t borrow anymore money, what do you think would have happened ? They would have been held truly accountable more than likely by millions of angry mobs. who would have given them new bracelets and 3 hots and cot.
djlarrylarr,the sad part is our government has already made executive orders and top secret plans to deal with the people overthrowing them in the face of economic collapse
Looks like my chance is missed I will hand down my revolutionary war musket to my son when is his time comes we have passed this musket down to the eldest starting at the independence of our country knowing one day it will be needed again to free our people. Freedom comes not at the tip of tongue but by the tip of gun.
Is better to not lost a election then lose one, and able to come back again next time when time is right. Is worth it, since you don’t lose face and still keep a lot of political funds tax free!
Mr. Bayh can now become a lobbyist (like his wife) and make tons of money. He’ll be much less tepid as a lobbyist as he has been a Senator.
A little more than a year ago, Bayh endorsed Obama, and now he’s abandoned the Obama ship. Just goes to tell you that even a senator can be a complete moron – like all you voters out there who voter for our Noble prize winning president.
I bet he got a big check from someone in the republican party to encourage early retirement. What a jackass.
Bayh is PURE POLITICS. He doesn’t want a “L” in his political past, and Coats would be the candidate to put one there for him. Bayh’s ambition has always been to run for President someday soon. Look for Bayh back in politics sometime soon–if not Senator, it will be Governor or somewhere.
When Bayh went from Governor to Senator a few years ago, I knew then that his ambitions were to be President. He is such a “Pretty Boy” POLITICIAN. He has Indiana fooled. He says what will get votes.
good comment leach
@del3226 What makes you think that? What proof do you have or even anything close to proof making your statement even in the ballpark of being the truth. It is people like you who like to start lies and misleadings. Speaking of lies and misleadings, maybe you should be a republican senator or congressman.
@paganboy
THe fucking key word in the statement was BET i BET not there is a conclusive study jackass. His race was a pretty much guaranteed win against his republican opponent. Seems a little strange that he drop out of a race he was going to win in time to fuck up everything by letting repubs in.
well said
