When I think "blue-dog" Huey Long comes to mind, but maybe I'm being cruel in my assessment.

Yeah, that's the other thing: better dead than red, we used to say. The Dems were the Commie pinkos. (Now they're the marriage-agenda pinkos of a different shade.)

We'll see how "pro-gun" they are the first time a new gun bill comes up for a vote.

"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."
Hmmmmm sounds like the Republicans since 2000.
We lost the race because we lost our souls. Duke Cunningham is in the clink, Mark Foley is trying to cornhole 16 year old BOYS The GOP is spending money faster than it can be printed and creating big government programs a la FDR and the stench of graft is everywhere.
We have met the enemy and it is us. Maybe we can be CONSERVATIVES again.........strong message follows

We will see how long before being anti-abortion becomes "a personal matter, one I'm not will to impose on others." It always happens.
Why the heck did they become Democrats if they oppose the ideas of their leadership and platform? Answer: because they are dressed up opportunists.

Awww! Is he part bluetick or is there some other kind of blue dog?

"Meet the Blue Dogs: pro-gun, anti-abortion - and Democrat
And completely irrelevant.
By succumbing to the pandering of the radicals who really run the Democratic party, and squandering in the voting booth what little conservative values they may possess on a group of idiots and left-wing revolutionaries, just to make a point, they have ultimately just proven that even they stand for nothing.
"Their" party will drop them like a hot rock now that the Socialists have seized control.
God help us all.

You're right, as usual. Thanks for the post.

Perfect description.

"Boob Casey is NOT anti-abortion"
Well the state of PA deserves him. They voted from him. I hope all the Catholics that voted for him are happy with their choice.

Very true. The start out at state level from pro-life districts and are pro-life, get endorsed by Right to Life, etc.
After a few cycles, they've sold their souls, lose the endorsements of such groups, but still claim to have them.
That's what happened w/ my new State Sen.

Their arrival on Capitol Hill will be one of the first early tests of the leadership skills of Nancy Pelosi who, as House Speaker, will have to forge a coalition in a party that has profound philosophical disparities.Suuure. She'll have plenty of time for this in between trips to the hairdresser, nail salon & plastic surgeon. Right now, she's looking up the definitions of the following words: profound, philosophical, and disparities, just so she'll be ready for the next big press conference.
To: MadIvan
Ivan is right, all of them lying sacks of Donkey Sh!t. An excellent way to put it.
This especially galled me...
James Webb....a social conservative...
What a bald, fscking lie. In his victory speech, he was droning on about an "inclusive society"...code for the legitimization of homosexuality. Considering his books, maybe we shouldn't have been surprised about him.
To: MadIvan
In Indiana, a state overwhelmingly won by President Bush in 2004, three Republicans in the House of Representatives lost seats. All faced conservative Democrats. The article was certainly wrong with this statement. While I can't speak about 2 or the 3, Barron Hill is no conservative Democrat. Barron Hill is in the mold of Lee Hamilton. He speaks one way and votes another. As liberal and phony as the come.
To: MadIvan
Well, there are Zell Miller and Orson Scott Card. Alas, I suspect the 'blue dogs' just sent to Congress will prove all too willing to kow-tow to the San Francisco wing of the party.
Your proposed tactics for dealing with them are, of course, correct. I just hope W doesn't have so much of his dad in him that he isn't up to it.

"I don't beleive it for a minute."
Neither do I, but it was excellent public relations.
On the bright side, a number of Democrat Congressmen unseated scandal-tainted Republicans in marginal or Republican-voting districts. They will have a hard time surviving in 2008 even if the overall political environment is neutral.
