Scott, David (Blue Dog, DLC, and bad voting record)

Taylor, Gene (Blue Doh and bad voting record)

Here is how I got these lists. I went to a place where voting record is determined and scored. These guys were all very close to being Republican. In fact, so was Murtha. I took Murtha out of the list of DiNOs because of his recent conversion away from the Dark Side. All of the Representatives here have a worse voting record than Lieberman. Half of the Senators here have a worse record than Lieberman. The other half have nearly as bad a record.

It is very interesting that the corporatist DLC is so close to running with the fascist Republicans. It is also interesting that the Blue Dog Democrats (who have come out to say they are conservatives) all vote nearly like Republicans, too.

So, if you want to make a term like "DiNO," then these are the guys.
