Heath Shuler: Nancy Pelosi ignoring Blue Dogs
By JENNIFER EPSTEIN | 2/7/11 9:17 AM EST

Centrist Democrats have had “no communication” with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi since the start of the 112th Congress, one of the leaders of the Blue Dog Coalition said Monday.

Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), who challenged Pelosi for the leadership spot, said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “there’s been really no communication whatsoever” between his group and the California Democrat. “We still have not had the connection between the Blue Dog members and the leadership.”

**SNIP**

“We’re not about the ideologues of either political party. We’re talking about how we can bring our country back to the middle where we need to be and start with compromise,” Schuler said. “I think the Blue Dogs represent 80 percent of America. You look at the political structure on both sides — they only represent 10 percent on each side of the American people. Blue Dogs represent 80 percent of America.”

“I think the Blue Dogs represent 80 percent of America."

Adding zeros to everything may have gotten us in the trouble we're in now.

No Heath. You are looking for headlines again.
You voted against Obamacare the first time and now you voted against the repeal.

You are Nancy’s poodle

Heath’s QB rating in the pros was a dismal 54.3.

At least he is consistent in politics with his pro passing record.

The problem for all of us is that Blue Dogs don't ignore Pelosi! They do just what she says!

They are dumb Yellow Dogs.

Heath throws yet another ‘Pick-6.

I wonder if his daughter is still as mesmerized with Pelosi Galore as he claimed she was when Pelosi took the Speaker’s gavel in 2007.

There is no such thing as a moderate democRAT. They are ALL hard-core leftist. It’s like calling themselves a moderate NAZI or moderate Communist.

Instead of crying about it, Heath and others like him need to start a "Democratic American" party, where liberals who draw the line at marxism can go. By staying in their party, dominated by Nancy and Harry and Obama, they support marxism. No way around it.

They can't join the Republicans, they are too liberal. But the Democrats have become a soviet style power grabbing authoritarian movement. The only way to save the Democrat party is to break away from it. Do it, Heath!

Nancy went to the hospital to visit Giffords, who is a Blue Dog. Doesn't that count?
