“Blue Dogs”....yeah right, there are no conservative democrats in the House...if they were, they wouldn’t be democrats....

Blue Dog is just a beneficial term for them come election time.

This is good news. There are no vacuums in politics. This defeat will bleed over into other political battles.

[a real Sheila]

I do not understand this sentence-

The Blue Dogs, a group of supposedly conservative Dems who have usually marched to Speaker Pelosi’s drum, were fearful that the National Rifle Association would “score” — i.e., use the vote to determine its annual rating of gun-friendly (and unfriendly) members the vote on the rule to bring the matter to the House floor.

I want Eleanor Holmes Norton’s vote NEVER to count on the floor!!

The patently unconstitutional bill to give the District of Columbia a voting representative in the House of Representatives was pulled off the House calendar because -- according to one House Republican leadership source -- they feared that the so-called Blue Dog Democrats would not support it.

....the ban on implementing the "Fairness Doctrine " was attached to this bill by Sen. Jim DeMint...there I fixed it.

[dr_who]

Democrats don’t believe in democracy. They believe in subterfuge.

[icwhatudo]

If the shootdown of the fairness doctrine was an amendment to this bill then.......

[Darkwolf377]

After the euphoria of the election and the inauguration and the stimulus has worn off, the dems slowly start to realize they have a president who has nothing else but asking for more and more money to toss at every problem.

Thus, whether blue or otherwise, they start resembling dogs running around after their own tails, having no idea what to do now that they have the power to do just about anything.
