Part of the reason why that whole Blue State/Red State thing is entirely backward.
The left side of the spectrum is Red, the right is Blue. Same thing with the pH scale which goes from acidic Left to Conservative base.
A "blue dog" is a Dem that's more like a Pubbie. But the Dems are "blue"??
Go figger.

Yes, all is not rosy in Libertarian Land today. They did succeed in turning control of Congress to their friends but they lost their two battles over legalizing dope.
This is such nonsense. These guys were recruited for their ability to appear moderate. When push comes to shove, they will follow the money--and that comes from Emily's List, NARAL and the Unions.
So newspapers like cowboys as long as they have a (D) by their name?

Except that it is the current ranking minority members who will take over chairmanships of committees in January. These ranking members are the most left wing members of the DemocRAT delegation in the House. Even if theses freshman congressmen are "blue dog DemocRATS", they will be voting for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker of the House.
But putting a former Andover cheerleader from Connecticut in cowboy boots is enough, right?
I mean, it worked for Bush.
They didn't leave, the party left them.
Once they've taken their first dollar from Hill's war chest, they all will be as liberal as Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.
Yeah, al-globaloverheating-gore used to be anti-abort too. Give these guys time.
Actually more like gun-shy than pro-gun.
Old Sarah Brady is positively damp tonight thinking of the possibilities
You know that as soon as they get to Washington they're going to be right in there with the Beltway elite, a disgusting, snobbish remote elite which is unable and unwilling to deal with the problems the government faces.

Boob Casey is NOT anti-abortion.....and how anyone on God's green earth knows what he stands for is beyond me...the idiot never opened his mouth through the whole campaign....sorry, but I don't think I can stomach this a**hole for 6 YEARS!!!
So, maybe there's hope among the Blue Dogs too.

Could some of you spare time to go to Kristinn's Gold Star Families in Iraq thread...

I'm with you, Ivan. They are frauds who ran to the right of RINOs, bought and paid for by George Soros. (Guess who was Bobby Casey's biggest contributor?) When they get to D.C., they WILL vote just like Nancy Pelosi and Teddy Kennedy tell them to vote. Do you remember that freshman congresswoman from around Philly that the Democrats, one on each side, escorted up the aisle to cast her vote for Clinton's big tax increase? She was reluctant to vote for it because she had promised her constituents that if they elected her, she was a Democrat who would NEVER vote to raise their taxes. Turned her into a one-timer, but she obeyed orders just like all good Democrats do.
So if the majority of this country is anti-abortion, why do you suppose so many pro-choice candidates one, hmm?
