DON'T FALL FOR THE BLUE DOG & PONY SHOW
There are no Blue Dog democrats.
There are democrats who occasionally vote with the GOP out of fear of losing their seat in Congress but there are NO Blue Dog democrats. If push comes to shove so-called Blue Dogs always vote with the democrats
Today the state-run media is reporting that the so-called Blue Dog democrats are threatening to bring down Obamacare.
The Hill reported:
Centrist Democrats are threatening to oppose their partys healthcare legislation unless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) accepts changes that make the bill more to their liking.
Seven Blue Dogs on the House Energy and Commerce Committee have banded together to draft amendments that theyll co-sponsor in the committee markup, which starts Thursday. Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.), the Blue Dogs point man on healthcare, says if those changes arent accepted, theyll vote down the bill.
If you believe this, I've got a profitable Detroit car company to sell you.
No doubt, this orchestrated Blue Dog and pony show was carefully orchestrated for (or with) the state-run media. They will next pretend that the so-called moderates actually forced changes to the Pelosi bill. It's just a Blue Dog and pony show.
The bill will still be a massive democratic power grab. Don't fall for it.

Your client has good taste.
Thank you. I think it has the potential for a good country music video. Like “You’re wanted by the Police, and My Wife Thinks You’re Dead”

parsy, who isn’t currently wanted by the police
The fact that this didn't happen shows that they aren't at all conservative, and that they support the commie Democrats whenever the chips are down.
AMEN!! NEVER TRUST ANY DEMOCRAT.....NEVER!
Well, I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn,
Went to find 'possum in the new-grown corn.
Old Blue treed and I went to see,
Blue had 'possum up a tall oak tree.
Mmm, boy I roast'd 'possum, nice and brown,
Sweet po-ta-toes, n' all a-round...
And I said "Here old Blue (here-boy)
You can have some too"
Now, Old Blue died and he died so hard,
Made a big dent in my back-yard.
Dug his grave with a silver spade,
Lowered him down with a link of chain.
Every link I did call his name...
Singing "Here
old...Blue-ue...
"Good dog you"
Now, when I get to heaven, first thing I'll do.
When I get to heaven, first thing I'm gonna do.
When I get to heaven first thing I'll do,
Pull out my horn and call old Blue...
I'll say, "Here Old Blue come-on dog"
"Good dog you."
I'll say, "Here Blue-e"
"I'm a coming there too"
"Down boy... good dog"
What a good song. My Old Blue Dog died Tuesday. Border collie. 16 years old. Lived with my ex-wife. Named Boogie. Good dog. She used to herd the kids up when they were younger.
parsy, who will miss Boogie. And Rudolph. Clancy, the stray bird. Leo, the hamster. First dog Rex, who used to get so tired in the woods I had to put him over my shoulder and carry him home.
Parsy, I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. They really are man’s best friend. Hope we get see them all again someday.

Here’s JT singing Old Blue at Telluride with Mark O’Connor and Jerry Douglas.
Great video. I have been downloading them like crazy. I am afraid they will stop it one day.
