BUT they bloviated the nation to death before they were put in their place by the Blue Dog Democrats.
Hope for the nation rests with the Republicans and Blue Dogs
Is it too early to send Thank You cards to all of the Blue Dog Dems? Just wondering.
Yep, too early.
It’s tea time.
Anyone involved with signing this bill into law should be forced into Obamacare for themselves and their families. Anything less is absolutely outrageous.
I got the water on to boil!
The Blue Dogs are about as reliable as the authenticity of questions at a Hussein press conference. I would not trust the fate of our rights to this group. As with every other politician, the price is right. And when their asking price for their votes has been granted, watch out.
And the hope I have is for the healthcare co-op.
Health Care Co-Ops, D.C.'s Latest Buzz, Have Ups, Downs
I work for one. We are innovative, provide fantastic care, and do it for lots less money.
The only real disadvantage is the start up cost.
They will give in after getting some concessions for their districts or states and vote through an even more bloated bill. That is how these things work. With majorities in both the house and senate, they will pass something, no matter how bad, just to say they did health care. Count on it.
Hopefully our side and a few of these blue dogs can at least hold down the runaway spending. I’m not a fan of more government regulation, but they also need to do something about the preexisting condition problem so everyone who wants to buy insurance can.
Every dog has its day—today its the blue dogs.
I sure hope tea parties are celebrated nationwide this recess. Nothing clears the mind more than mad constituents taking over the reps meetings spouting facts — In every Congressional district in the country.
Get in his face with all your friends, neighbors and anyone else at a Town Hall meeeting. Call his office and say you oppose Obamacare and ask him when is the next TownHall meeting.
Town Hall meetinsg may be the best way to wake up these communists.
If history is any lesson, all of these guys are going to vote for this at some point in the future. I'll be more than happy to eat crow on this, but if Zell Miller were there (Hannities favorite Dem) even he would vote yes.
Bingo! Folks - the Blue Dogs are scared of one thing - The Nov 2010 elections.
If I were a Blue Dog I would be so ashamed that the boy sun king ali-Hussein was my Dem party leader with Benito Pelosi.
Don't thank them until ObamaCare is dead. It's currently critically wounded, but still alive.
I don’t buy this supposed Blue Dog opposition...friction...or whatever it is. I think it’s a contrivance...stale Washington theater. A setup for “compromise.” Compromise is just a government-sanctioned euphemism for the installment plan. Me? I think of it more like small doses of arsenic. No matter what, we’re doomed.
