Certainly, political party conventions are not the place to hear measured, thoughtful, two-way dialogue about the issues of the day.
But U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen (D–Appleton) apparently was channeling his inner two-year-old when he made this comment at the Democratic Party Convention in Stevens Point earlier this month: “They don’t belong in Washington, they don’t belong in our statehouses, they don’t belong in our local governments for centuries to come for what they’ve done to our country.” (Brought to you by The Appletonian.)
So are we to expect that Comrade Kagen will introduce a bill in the next Congress to arrest, try and imprison all Republicans? Or will he be satisfied with introducing a constitutional amendment to ban the Republican Party?
Kagen apparently is insufficiently intelligent or lacks enough sense to figure this out, so I’ll give him a piece of advice that costs much less than $3.899 per gallon: Democrats do not win elections in the Eighth Congressional District by getting out only the Democratic vote. For Kagen to win re-election, he will have to get Republican-leaning voters to vote for him. Kagen’s aforementioned burst of verbal diarrhea is not only unbecoming of a congressman, it is far beneath his constituents, at least half of whom are sympathetic toward the Republican Party.

Your claim that Dr. Kagen: “apparently is insufficiently intelligent or lacks enough sense to figure this out…” is beneath you, but more importantly misses the point of partisan politics. If you can’t be partisan at a party convention what is left? - Ann Coulter presents traitor of the month on Fox News?
Congressman Steve Kagen criticized the failed policies of republican domination and arrogance at the Wisconsin Democratic Convention.
People realize that gas was $1.47 a gallon when Bush took the reigns of government and started to spend his “political capital.” We had a surplus and we were at peace. All republicans did not bring these changes upon us. Those who did were more than misguided.
People of Wisconsin are listening to Dr. Kagen who is not wrong nor – “insufficiently intelligent,” nor did he display “verbal diarrhea” when he called for an end to the republican rule of arrogance.
