I am very disappointed to see this site. It is not obvious that the real problem with the Democratic party is that they don’t have a good QB! I think it is time that we grant Heath a second chance in Washington as QB of the Democratic Party. Forget Pelosi! Heath for Speaker of the House!
(I wonder if he will show up on the first day of Congress or if he will “hold out” for a better deal like he did last time he came to DC.)
Keep up the good work! Love the comments!

I came to this site b/c of the S.I. story on Shuler and the mention of this site. I found the ads quite funny, but even more humorous was the explosion of angry comments that are posted on here. Do we all catch the sarcasm in these ads or are we too dimwitted to see a joke? I see this as a “p.c.” generation too busy with their heads up their butts to be able to take a joke.
The creator of this site, Jason Woodmansee, said in S.I. “The site is one hundred percent a joke. You really hope people make their decisions based on something more important than the stuff I’m doing.” With that in mind I hope we can all simmer down and not throw this guy under the bus b/c he has created some funny fake ads. Take a joke, that’s what makes this country great.

typical chickenhawk site.
Shuler OB record in Wash was mostly due to the incredibly inept and injury prone offensive line doing nothing in front him.
ya know–kinda like bush’s

Dear Josh Cantrell,
I am a former American soldier (served in Desert Storm) that you whine about paying the ultimate price. Guess what? Soldiers defend their country and sometimes they are called on to pay the ultimate price; that is their job and their duty.
I know some present-day soldiers who think you and your tired drivel about “sacrifice” and “paying the ultimate price” is just that; mindless drivel. Every soldier who signs up for service knows that he or she may be called to serve and defend with honor idiots like yourself who have led an insulated life and consider their existence to be the pursuit of comfort. Do you wail so when any police officer is killed in the line of duty by some meth-addicted criminal? Do you cry and beat your fists in frustration when some brave firefighter runs into a burning building, only to never return? They are soldiers and they know their duty; do you know yours as a citizen? I wonder.
I am not obsessed with Bill Clinton. The man is a non-entity as far as I am concerned. But for you to sit there and say there were no WMDs or any link to international terror is pure whimsy. We have found WMDs since 2003, Saddam used them in the past and he is on tape as saying that all he is doing is waiting for your vaunted UN inspectors to leave before ramping up production. No one ever claimed there were links to Saddam and 9-11 even though there were. What was claimed, and of this there is no doubt, is that there were serious links between Saddam’s regime and Islamic terrorist organizations. Or have you forgotten the training grounds with aircraft fuselage, Abu Nidal living at the Baghdad Hilton, Saddam’s dual-purpose equipment or his bounty payments to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers…to name just a few.
You, sir, are welcome to your tired, effiminate view of the world and your hysterical, and endless, bashing of this administration. I do not expect people like you to burden yourself with facts. After all, why bother with facts or history when you can rant about GWB’s father (whom, let us not forget, Saddam tried to assassinate) and pretend that Mesopatamia was the garden spot of the world until the big, bad Americans showed up. Just a bunch of peaceful Arabs/Muslims who are being abused by the relentless American juggernaut.
Plese go back to school…any school, even Playskool. And while you are there, perhaps read a book or two.
Perhaps that is a bad idea…I have a feelign that you would be drawn to the latest Noam Chomsky or Frank Rich masterpiece; better that you just remain a useless idiot for now.
Best regards,
Sam Haldi

Good grief, this is satire, some of you are wrapped WAY too tight – especially you Bush-hating lefties. Lighten up!
On a more serious note, as a UT grad I appreciate what Heath Shuler did at UT and I wish he had seen more success in the NFL. I don’t think he’s a bad guy at all. As a Vol and a staunch conservative however, I am extremely disappointed that Heath sets out to convince the people of the 11th District that he’s a conservative – in a party that is almost uniformly liberal. No matter where you come down on the issues, it’s breathtakingly disingenuous to say you’re a conservative and a democrat. The few conservatives to be found in the “pary of tolerance” (i.e. Zell Miller) have now been summarily excommunicated. Even true moderates like Senator Lieberman have been kicked out of the so-called “big tent.” I think most people of the 11th District are smart enough to know that there is no place for a true conservative in the Democrat party. For Heath to say that he can be a conservative and a Democrat makes him stupendously naive or dishonest. I lean towards naive – after all, he is a fellow Vol.

Shuler, on hunt for funds in D.C., stays focused
WASHINGTON — Democrat Heath Shuler stayed on message Tuesday as he began making the rounds in Washington for money and support in his bid to unseat GOP Rep. Charles Taylor.
Shuler said he’s running because Taylor, an eight-term incumbent, isn’t doing a good job representing the 11th Congressional District.
“Jobs, health care and education — those are the three areas where he has failed,” Shuler said.
Taylor disputes that and says his position as a member of the House Appropriations Committee positions him to send money home for needed projects.
Shuler, in a race that political handicappers say is one to watch, is telling congressional Democrats and their supporters that he has the skills and drive to represent the district.
He has led Taylor in fundraising, but last week the Brevard Republican pumped $850,000 in loans and personal money into his campaign.
On the hunt for money, Shuler spent much of Tuesday trapshooting at a fundraiser sponsored by Rep. Mike Thompson, a moderate California Democrat. Dave Butz, a former Washington NFL player, dropped by the event to visit with Shuler, a former Washington quarterback.
A real estate developer and a Swain County native, Shuler also has scheduled several press interviews and stops at the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee and congressional offices.
He and 33 other Democratic candidates tonight will attend a party fundraiser in their honor.
Shuler was fuzzy on any appointments he has planned with special interest groups. But he said the money he collects during his visit here won’t make him beholden to his party or to interest groups.
“I think all the members of Congress should pay tribute and loyalty to one group of people, and that’s their constituents,” Shuler said. “Whether you get support, whether you get funding from different labor groups or corporations, it really comes down to when you cast that vote what is right for the people of your district, what is right for the American people.”
Shuler said he doesn’t like having to ask for campaign money and is not in the race for gain or glory. “I had my 15 minutes of fame,” he said referring to his NFL days and his stint as a University of Tennessee football star.
The National Republican Congressional Committee, which once tried to recruit Shuler as a GOP candidate, blasted his two-day trip to Washington and tried to label him a liberal, despite little difference between him and Taylor on most social issues.
Shuler laughed off the NRCC attack, especially the liberal tag.
“The NRCC actually asked me to run for office once before (in Tennessee). I think it’s a lot of sour grapes,” Shuler said.
In particular, Shuler identifies with the conservative-to-moderate Blue Dog Democrats, who have embraced him because he supports federal spending restraint and limits on the money that congressional lawmakers send home to their districts for special projects.
Blue Dog Coalition member John Tanner, D-Tenn., said Shuler is part of a crop of business-oriented Democrats who stand a chance of winning over voters in conservative areas.
“There’s a trend — it might be a small trend — of people looking to moderate people interested in solutions rather than tilting at political windmills,” Tanner said.
Tanner pitched in with former North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt in August to help Shuler at a fundraiser in Asheville. Hunt stepped in again on Monday with a fundraiser for Shuler in Raleigh.
Heath Shuler, right, and Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., encourage other members of their group while shooting a round at the Prince George’s County Trap and Skeet Center in Glendale, Md., on Tuesday. Shuler, a former Washington quarterback, is running for the 11th Congressional District seat in North Carolina as a Democrat.

The creator of this site should be dragged down to Swain County and left bleeding and broken in the tunnel at the end of “the road to nowhere”. Heath was the raw steel which was ready to be molded into an integral part of a well oiled and tuned football machine. Norv and the punky redskins fans failed in doing their part to create a great team, and Shuler paid the price for their incompetence. What kind of idiot thinks you can just pile millions into a great QB, receiver, and running back and then out squirts a great offense? I am sure that WHEN Heath takes office, we will finally have a great representative of the true southern Democrat. I would be truly shocked and amazed if he does not serve Americans better than 99% of those elected. At least on this trip to Washington, he won’t be hamstrung by an idiot coach, fairweather fans, and a line that cant block.
