Rep. Ross: 'Blue Dogs' Can't Back Health Care Bills
Listen Now [5 min 28 sec]
All Things Considered, July 18, 2009 · As President Obama's health plan hits resistance in Congress, the key may be the "Blue Dog" Democrats in the House. Guy Raz speaks with one of the leading Blue Dogs, Rep. Mike Ross of Arkansas, about his recent statement: "We cannot support the current bill."
Ross said the Blue Dogs' health care task force would need to see more protections for small businesses and rural health care providers before he could sign on.

Oh, don’t you worry, Obama will be there with rusty scissors to “fix” those Blue Dogs, the “Fix” is in as they say.
Looks for a lot of the Blue dogs to vote yes as they walk into the chambers of congress with a slight limp and their tails between their legs.
Look for sudden donations to their re-election campaigns. And then...viola!...they’re onboard.
I don’t like “the current bill” language. That indicates that with some changes, they might support something. We don’t need ANY of it, in any form.
Remember, they are “exempt” from the law......
Call and encourage them to stand their ground, THANK THEM...the left is pulling out all they have to get the public (non informed ones) to put heat on the blue dogs to vote yes....we can not just let them hang out there even if we do not agree with all their votes, on this we can support them!!!
The Blue Dogs will all be singing soprano after Dr. O snips their balls. The WH crowd plays rough, hopefully many will be up for the challenge.
The so called blue dogs are just lining up for their take. Taxpayers dollars will be doled out to them in whatever amounts are necessary to secure their vote.
FOLLOWING is list of the BLUE DOGS and THEIR PHONE NBRS....Phone calling on this is more effective than emailing.

Just remember - the blue dogs are the old time politicians that either have not been a target of Chicago Gangland Politics or still think Obama would not resort to it.
Once his machinery gets into place sending the blue dogs what their opposition research has turned up on each blue dog, The unions and Acorn have not been given Obama’s OK to harrass them.
When he stands up at a news conference and says “Mark my words this isn’t over it will go through, he isn’t playing pied piper to his media mice, he was putting his party members in place. Remember he has been bringing over all of the Democrats in Republican clothing and wining and dining them. What did he promise Snow etc?
That's a pretty weak show of dissent.
Under what Constitutional provision does Congress have the right to pass any kind of health care bill, much less the current one?
All Dogs and Schmucks in Congress better wake up and smell anger simmering and about to erupt all over the country. The message is “you’re toast” come 2010.
Here’s an example of the rage on just the BC; think about the rage brewing on this DeathCare. OMG!

Share with your entire address list and ask them to pass it on as well. Cover the Internet with the sight of courageous Americans fighting back against tyranny.
God Bless America and God Bless our Troops. God will judge those that trample on our Constitution and those out to destroy our country for their own power, greed, and ego. America is waking up and the rage is growing. Hussein, his henchmen, and Congress have Awakened a Sleeping Tiger.
Our congress critter,Mike Thompson in Calif 1st dist claims to be a “blue dog” and he is fully on board with this as he was with Cap and TAX. Instead of blue dog I say he is a LAP DOG. A Pelosi Poodle
All elected officials are prostitutes. O just needs to figure out their price.
With apologies to the very few good guys out there.
Blue dog is just a term for somebody in a vulnerable district that claim to be independent occasionally, but votes with Pelosi anyway.
The trumpeting of alleged independence in the press is what matters. The actual vote will be very silent.
We have one of those in my district. We usually read front page stories about Gabby Giffords installing low water toilets in orphanages and giving apples to old people on the street, but our local red rag gave no flourishes to her vote for cap and tax.
I imagine something will be offered to him and the other Blue Dogs, to work something out, just so this thing passes. He has already indicated a willingness to pass it, if certain conditions are met. Then it will be taken back later after this monstrosity passes.
Hi Goodness, where did you get that info? I want to do a 3 way contact, phone, email and fax.
Came in an email via the local 9-12 project here in Salem, OR
Didn’t he hear the Kenyan say we are making a list and taking names. Did he receive his dead fish from Rahm yet?
