Blue Dog Dems: You must hang together (with Barack) or else you will most assuredly hang separately
The Blue Dogs are holding health care reform hostage at this point. The votes are there!

To borrow from Ben Franklin, the Blue Dogs need to hang with the party because they will NOT get any votes from moderate Republicans in their districts.

Independents will look at them as weak and vote Republican if these spineless idiots can muster enough courage to push HCR over the goal line.

If they help the Republicans kill HCR they will definitely, and rightfully, hang. Their job is not to hold a seat in Congress indefinitely. Their job is not to sit on a fence as "moderates."

If they kill HCR, the Dems should hang them out to dry!

2. Sadly, my rep Scott Murphy, NY20 is a Blue Dog
NY20 is Gillibrand's former district.

I've sent him some scathing email ... no replies.

4. Blue Dogs! The MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WANT HEALTH CARE
Edited on Sun Feb-28-10 07:29 PM by RainDog
if you ever want to be anything other than a big mouth in your small-minded states, stop screwing the rest of the country because you're scared of some people in your state who are too stupid to KNOW THEY GOT A TAX CUT.

I mean, really. what the fuck.

These people who are griping about things being too liberal, blahblahblah don't even know what the words mean that they're saying.

If you screw over the liberals in your own state, you'll have a hard time finding anyone who wants to re-elect you because those idiots who oppose healthcare are going to vote for whomever Rush tells them too.

grow some cajones.
