Here is video last night of Sean Hannity talking with Sen. John McCain about the Democrats' Health Care Bill. McCain warns that he believes the so-called "Blue Dog Democrats" will cave in to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and help pass a bill in the House. He said they often "bark, but they don't bite." McCain said he and virtually all Republicans do not want any government takeover of health care. . . . . (Watch Video)

Headline should be: McCain to Hannity: .......
This is rich coming from the GOP’s self-described maverick who actually does vote with the other side. Watch how McCain votes on amnesty and cap and trade, two issues on which he and Obama agree.
I’d say there is no question this is going to get through. There will be concessions and deals.
All of this at the expense of our health and the well being of our country.
Of course they’ll cave. Remember that old ad for RCA which showed Victor the dog listening to a Victrola and was titled, “The Sound of His Master’s Voice?” The Victrola in this case is Pelosi.
I wouldn’t call it “caving.” I think the whole thing is BS. They’re not holding out on principle. They’re holding out for deals.
IMO - all Hannity’s positive contributions go down the toilet every time he has McCain on his program. My choice - don’t listen to Hannity any more which I am not exercising.

John please go away. Just go away>
Mr. Gang of 14 should know.
Given their voting record, I have little doubt that the majority of BlueDogs will likely cave in. Likewise, the same could be said for some of the RINO’s, to include McCain once this legislation or issue is taken up in the Senate.
Hannity also has too many creepy Dems on.
Keep calling.
You nailed it!
for insights on political caving, ask an expert...
People are SO gullible. These “blue dogs” go out in front of the camera with a few harumphs, and folks assume they are seriously concerned about the budget. News flash-—they aren’t. Have you seen the budget lately? It’s politics. They are a bloc of votes, and I am sure they have their price. That is how politicians have been operating since antiquity.
YES, something we all know. BUT please, McCain talking about politicians CAVING!!!!!BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The Blue Dogs are actually the most dangerous Democrats of all. The Blue Dogs are working to help pass BHO ruinous domestic policy agenda. True, they are working to water down and modify some of his proposals but their intent is to make them more palatable and saleable to their constituents thus improving their re-election chances. The Blue Dog Democrats are NOT consevatives. There are two basic divisions with the Democrat Party: The Blue Dogs, which represent primarily rural and suburban areas are primarily Clinton Democrats. The urban base of the Democrat Party are BHO Democrats. They are much more radical and left wing and basically out and out socialists who want much bigger government and higher taxes.
The Blue Dogs, much like the Rino Republicans are basically enablers and accomplices of BHO.
Our best chances of taking back Congress is defeating the Blue Dog Democrats. There are 49 congressional districts carried by John McCain that have Democrat congressmen. This is where you will find most of the Blue Dogs. The voters in these districts lean conservative. So here is the low hanging fruit which we should try to recapture in next year’s midterm elections.
Quite frankly I don’t think the birth certificate issue is going to stop BHO. We have a much better shot at stopping BHO by retaking the Congress by targetting the Blue Dogs.
Is he talking about blue dogs, or Lindsey Graham?
“The Blue Dogs, much like the Rino Republicans are basically enablers and accomplices of BHO.”
Totally agree, the stink of the Blue Dog Democrats and RINOs is the same.
