Ya’ll had best be hoping there are some blue dog democrats, because a few more elections like the last few and the GOP is going to lose all the good parking spaces in DC.

Seriously, there are conservative democrats. As a another freeper pointed out to me a few weeks ago, there are less than what I thought, but there are still some out there. As a party, the GOP’s only hope is that BO and the Dems screw stuff up so bad that the voters throw the whole bunch out. And, when your best hope is that the other team screws up, that is not a good position to be in.

parsy, a conservative democrat

Exactly. All the so-called blue dogs will do is agree on some wussy compromise. Later, since the Entitlement is already in effect, congress will simply fix that little wussy compromise.

Roughly one-third of the Blue Dog Democrats are sincere and have the guts to buck the party line on a select few issues, such as Heath Schuler (NC) on illegal immigration or Colin Peterson (MN) on fiscal responsibility. Another third wear the Blue Dog figleaf to cloak their own ultraliberalism. The remaining third ebb and flow between the two camps.

There is no such thing as a conservative Democrat. Period. Just smoke and mirrors. If someone chooses to join todays RATS he/she hates this country and all it used to stand for.

This opposition was just to provide press coverage for those more conservative democrats so they can sound tough to their people back home. Most all of their quotes refer to the bill as the “current bill.” The controlling word is current. Change it a little and they will vote for it under the cover of their opposition.

If they really oppose it . . .let them say they oppose “any bill.”

“There are no Blue Dog Democrats.”

True. All Democrats are scu&bag socialist swine, without esception.

(Liberal Democrats consider Republicans and/or Conservatives evil. So, the favor is returned, above.)

Bingo - See my tagline. Plus, the Blue Lapdogs give the dims the majority which allows Nanny to be speaker. The sooner they are put down in an election, the better.

The real decisions about ObamaCare will happen in the Senate Finance Committee, and that won’t happen until later this Fall.

Perhaps you are not old enough ( or the writer isn’t), it has happened in the past. Sam Nunn was notorious for getting his way from them Yankee boys. I don’t care WHY they vote it down as long as they do. We win battles and it builds to winning the war

Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.), the Blue Dogs’ point man on healthcare, says if those changes aren’t accepted, they’ll vote down the bill.

Don't trust this liberal SOB from my state, nor our our two-faced senators Mark (I inherited my daddy's job) Pryor, or Blanche (blank-stare) Lincoln. Ptui!

[3niner]

Good point. If all the "blue dogs" were really what they claim to be, we wouldn't have Pelosi as the Speaker. The blue dogs could have simply nominated one of their own, gotten all of the GOP votes, and elected a blue dog as Speaker.

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!
