How big are the two groups?

[juliej]

Let's see how long this last. And let's see how many of these guys are really pro life.

[Arm_Bears]

Let's see how many of them get spanked by Mistress Pelosi.

LOL!

Any man or woman who are members of the Anti-American party, are Anti-American.

"they fired the current Republican leadership. We have a narrow window of opportunity to prove we can do better.”

I have not heard any kind of plan. That is what really bothers me.

The good news is that I don't think they will be able to agree on anything, and if the Dems were able to block Repub agenda with Repubs having a far bigger majority than Dems, it should be more of the same congressional stonewalling with a slim Dem majority.

Blue dog Dems are the real old-school Democrats. This red dog likes 'em...WOOF!

[cicero's_son]

None.

You cannot be pro-life and support Nancy Pelosi for speaker.

They'll be bought off with promises of new roads (or something similar) in their districts. What we will hear now is "investments in infrastructure" to be paid for with tax increases on the "rich".

[The_Victor]

To democRATs, bipartisanship exists when Republicans agree to go along with them.

[wizr]

I once called myself a blue dog, or conservative democrat, before I found Rush and finally left The Left, a truly Rat infested party. I. too, hope these guys can pull off some common sense.

[OldFriend]

Hope none of them take seriously Pelosi's invitation to a picnic lunch at Ft. Marcy Park.

[“We have to tear down that aisle between Republicans and Democrats,” said Rep. Allen Boyd (D-Fla.). ]

WHich (as usual) would result in even more taxes, more graft, more morphing away from a republic into a democracy..

[ClaireSolt]

We are supposed to believe this? Years of obstructionism is their strategy to gain power and when they get it they claim to be bipartisan? That's not even credible. John Bolton was my test and they flunked.

[Izzy Dunne]

I have not heard any kind of plan.

[Arm_Bears]

Speaker Pelosi, tear down this wall.

[smonk]

I believe that there are enough blue dogs to render the dems majority in the house effectively useless if they consistently vote their convictions, and vote in a block..

[Moderate right-winger]

Always remember that "centrist" Democrats like Casey got elected in part through the help of extreme feminist groups like NARAL.

[alloysteel]

The Dem'crats may have brought their own Trojan Horse into the 110th Congress. They are already eying Pelosi's Posse suspiciously.
