Democrats are running ads against elected Blue Dogs and there are many youtube videos attacking them for holding up the public option as are some on MSNBC. To the democrat base the Blue Dogs are DINOs as we think on RINOs. Blue Dogs are what give dems their overwhelming majority but not overwhelming ability to pass anything Dem leadership wants As the public opinon drops Blue Dogs will run for cover.
And Obama will sign anything and call it a success but without republicans he has to unite Blue Dogs and Liberals. Blue Dogs already bit the bullet on both Stimulus and cap and trade, ironically liberals think they bit the bullet on those both too (giving up too much) leaving Obama with a challenge
Who has the Butter for my pop-corn ?
I forgot you, see #12
LOL = I have butter for your popcorn. Can you pass the salt...
To assume the blue dogs will go off the reservation is to discount a whole series of factors that none of us might be aware of and that is the power that George Soros wields over the Democratic Party.
The point of the original article on this thread was show the real and present danger to the republic by the power in the hands of George Soros who controls the purse strings of the Democratic Party, can deploy foot soldiers without end into the Townhalls, streets and precincts of America, and who can exercise enormous influence over what gets published on the Internet and in the conventional media. It is not just that George Soros and a few plutocrat chums of his will contribute their own money into the Democrat machine, it is that Soros has managed to take control over most of the 527s and has gained a chokehold around the party's purse. Finally, every blue dog knows that he is only a primary away from a George Soros financed opponent.
Before we count the blue dogs off the reservation, we might be better informed political scientists. We ought to understand that there is more at stake here than popcorn.
