House healthcare negotiations dissolved in acrimony on Friday, with Blue Dog Democrats saying they were “lied” to by their Democratic leaders.
The seven Blue Dogs on the Energy and Commerce Committee stormed out of a Friday meeting with their committee chairman, Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), saying Waxman had been negotiating in bad faith over a number of provisions Blue Dogs demanded be changed in the stalled healthcare bill.
“I’ve been lied to,” Blue Dog Coalition Co-Chairman Charlie Melancon (D-La.) said on Friday. “We have not had legitimate negotiations.
“Mr. Waxman has decided to sever discussions with the Blue Dogs who are trying to make this bill work for America,” Melancon said...

"Waxman simply does not have votes in committee and process should not be bypassed to bring the bill straight to floor,” Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.), the lead Blue Dog negotiator, said on Friday. “We are trying to save this bill and trying to save this party.”
Melancon said there would be 40-45 “solid no” votes from the 52-strong Blue Dogs, among other problems throughout the caucus.

This is the first time I’ve agreed with a dem: Yes, Nostrilitis Waxman is a big fat liar.
Oh yes... isn’t that such a wonderful thought?! LOL
Can you give us a zip zode range to use along with the number? I will be glad to call a few times.
We will all be 65 God willing. Just like his $250,000 0bama will lower the senior age to 50. 50 and 0bama decides how you proceed and just like his stimulus it went to the people who supported him so good luck getting that operation.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST THUG HELL-BENT ON ENFORCING HIS PLAN FOR TAKEOVER OF THIS COUNTRY ON EVERY LEVEL. FORGET HEATH CARE REFORM NEGOTIATIONS..FORGET OBAMA’S POLICIES ON ANY LEVEL. OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST AND WE ARE LOVERS OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. THE TWO WILL CLASH TIL THE DEATH OF ONE OF THEM. GET OBAMA AND HIS MINIONS OUT OF OFFICE ASAP...WE KNOW OUR ENEMY AND WE MUST HIT HIM HARD AND REMOVE HIM..PUT EVERYTHING ELSE ON HOLD..THIS WILL BE THE CHALLENGE OF OUR POLITICAL LIVES...OUR VERY LIVES.
Yup.
Oh, I thought it stands for dirtbag.

Murphy is a guaranteed “yes master” vote for anything Pelousy and Obomba throw his way.
Blue dog, my a**.
Circle the wagons and start shooting toward the center!
Yes, that's what they make "whips" for.
The blue doggies can talk a good game, but once they are taken to the back of the chamber and get poked in the chest a couple of times, and then promised to have a primary opponent next election, they obediently go back to the floor and vote with the rest of the RATs.
RATs can't vote their conscience because they don't own their vote.
I just got off the phone with Ike Skelton’s DC office. They profess not to know how my congressman will vote.
A followup question could be "If he votes YES, will he be covering himself, his family, and his employees (that's you) under the Governement plan he votes YES on?"
The funny thing is the dumb idiots don’t realize than when the dictator is installed, their services are no longer needed.
Congress’ days are numbered too if they keep ramming this crap through
