LOL! They will vote the radical leftist pelosi line.
There's always hope.
Hate to say it Mike, but here's what'll happen to you:
Pelosi will push you in the closet;
Let you out when she needs your vote;
Instruct you on how to vote;
Remove you from your committee position if you do differently then she wants.
She's already doing that, i.e. Jane Harmon.
This will go nowhere, dudes.
There is a party purge underway of any democrat to the left of Stalin by DailyKos, George Soros and MoveOn.Org.
"Even though I think it's total crap, I'll vote for it and pass it because that's what Nancy wants," Murtha told the Blue Dogs,
"We'll have a lot to say about what passes and what doesn't" when the 110th Congress convenes in January with Democrats in control for the first time in 12 years, said Ross, new communications director for the caucus.
...you'll say what Mama Pelosi tells you to say! Now go lie down, remove the circuitry from your head and let it rest. Then wait for further instructions.
If they want a larger role, and they are truly conservative, then there is a simple solution... Instead of voting for Nancy as Speaker, join with the GOP in voting for Pence.
The Dems don't have too many votes to spare. 6 crossovers would do it.
Now we'll see what these "conservative" Democrats are really made of.
I'm sure the more than 80% are quaking in their boots. It was easy to declare how pure and principled they were while the party was a minority. Let's see how things work when party loyalty comes first.
They'll use them like they use the black voters...just when they need them - otherwise they don't count for anything.
We'll see how much moxie these blue-dogs have!! They could team up with the Pubs and give Pelosi fits!!
Rotsa Ruck.
I really do think they will team up the GOP and get some stuff passed, just as happened during Reagan's tenure.
1. They can have one.
2. If they exist.
3. But first, they'll have to join the GOP.
Pinging you because our boy Collin Peterson is mentioned in the article.
Nothing to see here folks. Here's how it works...The "Blue-Dogs" vote against certain items like raising taxes, illegal alien amnesty etc. Thier votes are recorded and thier constituency is impressed! "Golly! Heath did what I hoped he would do! Heath's my man!" Heath (Shuler as an example) comes back to NC a hero! "I tried folks, I really did"! "YEAH HEATH!!!" "AT LEAST YOU TRIED!" "VOTE FOR HEATH AGAIN...AND AGAIN!!!" In the meantime the lib agenda gets through on the backs of SF/NY/MASS libs that were expected to vote against America. Get it!?
Now wouldn't be be sweet revenge if they all switched parties?
Kinda like the Gang of 14.
Oooooooo. If only they were serious! I'd love to watch this type of skirmish.
Soros would not be a happy puppy. He paid a lot of money for their "loyalty." LOL.
