It will be a long, long time before voters in battleground districts and states trust Democratic candidates. And why would quality centrists run when national leaders are going to treat them like shock troops?

[DuncanWaring]

Pro-life Democrats?

Right up there with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

[AmishDude]

Democrats lie. If a Democrat tries to campaign as anything but a Marxist, he needs to be called out as a “stupaker”.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

There are liberal Christians, Jews, and Muslims, but when the rubber hits the road, they are always liberals first. Do you think America has learned something today?

[DarthVader]

The Blue Dog deception is now over.

[Enterprise]

FReepers have been on target for the most part in their distrust of the blue dogs. While it was encouraging for a while to see Stupak publicly pretend he had ethics, the heart just couldn’t beat faster until he voted. Blue dog, pro life - just the same old rat diarrhea.

[clintonh8r]

Inside every blue dog beats the heart of a yellow RAT. Are you listening, Florida-2?

[MarkLevinFan]

I think I remember someone saying there was no such thing as a Blue Dog Democrat.

[Guyin4Os]

“Blue Dog Democrats” = Democrats who campaign like conservatives, talk like conservatives, pretend to be conservatives ... until they turn blue in the face... and then do what the Democrat party bosses tell them to do, vote how the Democrat Party bosses tell them to vote and then go back home to claim they represented their voters well.

[Kandy Atz]

I know there are bad Republicans in politics, but why anyone would trust someone with a “D” after their name is beyond comprehension. I wouldn’t trust the Pope if he ran as a Democrat!

After a 100 years of progressive tyranny, you would think voters might wake up. No matter how hard they campaign as a “centrist” or “Conservative” or “blue dog”, they will always cave to the prevailing socialist winds in DC.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"It will be a long, long time before voters in battleground districts and states trust Democratic candidates."

Between redistricting following the census and amnesty, the Democrat thugs are smugly smiling at such cries of indignation.

Here’s the lesson;

If I have a choice between a pro-life dem and a pro-choice repub, I’ll take the repub every time. Never, ever elect a dem. That one pro-choice repub will have no effect in a sea of repubs, but every dem adds to the dem majority and allows people like Pelosi/Reid to rule the roost.

Zell Miller was the last of the true Blue Dogs.

“And why would quality centrists run when national leaders are going to treat them like shock troops?”

Well first of all, I don’t know if there’s such a creature as a quality centrist - care to point one out? But if there were, they should become independent of the ‘national leaders’, and truly wield power to rep their district.

Also TERM LIMITS - 5 in the House and 2 in the Senate...and THAT’S IT citizen leader back to your business, er uh, gubmint consulting...er uh, lawyer job...

[chichipow]

Moderate Democrats.

Blue Dog Democrats.

We can’t keep the RINO’s in line, why should we actually think a Dem would be better?

[Brad from Tennessee]

The difference between the sociopaths in prison and the ones that comprise Congress is the convicts don't have law degrees.

"It will be a long, long time before voters in battleground districts and states trust Democratic candidates. And why would quality centrists run when national leaders are going to treat them like shock troops? "

No doubt you mean well with your statement, but I live on this board and have been seeing same for the past year...yet, the democrats keep on winning.

I think I'm making the mistake of believing that the posters here on FR and the Tea party folks are "ALL" of America...but, unfortunately, that is not true.

The forefathers were great, they fought and died to give us this great country, and we have now squandered it to a bunch of snot-nosed 60's ex-hippies hell-bent on adopting "Deutshland uber alles" as our National Anthem.

As for "slavery"...that debt is paid in full. The civil rights marches were always punctuated with strains of "We Shall Overcome"...well, they have; they have gotten things their way and it only took 50 years or so for America to crumble into little pieces instead of a unified nation.

But it's not going to be a "long long time" before voters will trust democrats again...they'll win in November. Debacles like the healthcare vote will discourage and dishearten conservatives and they will say, "What's the use"...democrats will cheat their way into power anyway.

Then there are people like Glen Beck who are so busy telling us to bury our money, buy gold, and dig fallout shelters that he has scared half the population to death. He has added greatly to the feeling that we are being "taken over", with his only excuse being that he is a "recovering alcoholic"...which is getting pretty old and lame.

He may be right, but his discouraging messages are not helping anything.

Is ANYTHING going to come from the GOP to make us proud again? Is any one of them going to stand up and take the lead and bust up this gang of Chicago hoodlums who are running the country? Where is Elliot Ness when you need him?

Or should be do and "Atlas" and just shrug? Everyone quit their jobs and sign up on the government dole. We need to do it now before their foothold gets any stronger and they have time to "organize" any further.

Impeachment is out...democrat majority in Congress won't let that happen...two democrat presidents in a row getting impeached would damage them greatly.

Good luck with SCOTUS doing anything, it's stacked with liberals too...soon to be even moreso.

There's not much left, unless someone finds the birth certificate.

[BreitbartSentMe]

We need to start referring to them as “Dirty-dog democrats” instead of blue-dog democrats. See if we can make that name stick...

[PMAS]

There are no Blue Dog Democrats or Pro Life Democrats, stop depending on them to save us from this mess.
They are part of the problem.

[Republic of Texas]

There are no moderate Democrats, any more than there are moderate Muslims.

Heath Shuler (D-NC) is from the 11th Congressional District,
and stood by his NO vote on the Health Care bill. I am neither a Dem or Republican, but I credit Shuler for making a stand against abortion. Like it or not, he stood with his constituents.
I understand that Virginia Fox, Larry Kissell, and Mike McIntyre also voted No! My thanks to them.
