Jim Cooper of Tennessee claims to be a blue dog also, but his record screams LIBERAL!
Same for Pelosi's boy toy and Murtha's protoge, the detestable Patrick Murphy (PA).
Interesting, though, how beneficial he thinks the label is to his chances of re-election. He seems to have reasoned that his constituents want fiscal conservatism.
It’s too bad Republicans in Congress also seemed to think that the label of “Party of Fiscal Conservatism” was more important than actually governing that way. The last couple elections might have gone a bit differently.
