Please, whoever witnessed Obamer’s birth in Kenya, please
come forward!

Very soon after being sworn in January 2005, Melancon joined the Blue Dog Democrats. He is a fairly conservative Democrat by national standards — in fact, a section of his campaign site, "Louisiana Values," detailed his opposition to gun control, abortion and same-sex marriage. He later said that the 2004 election campaign was the first time in his life that anyone had called him a liberal. (From Wiki)
Yeah? Well, maybe for a Dem he was somewhat conservative in his first couple of years(Lifetime 46 ACU Rating) but Monsieur Melancon’s ACU numbers took a nosedive in 2007 and 2008 with 36% and 12% respectively. When push comes to shove he will vote the Pelosi way.
I know nothing about him, I just posted the Wikipedia description that he is anti gun control, anti abortion, and anti same sex marriages. If that is incorrect or has changed, then so be it . I have no dog fighting here.
Communists lie. How many times does that need to pointed out? And yet congresscritters of both parties always seem so shocked when it happens to them. Don’t know why.
“255 - 178 is the current balance of power. 40 no votes from blue dogs = 215 - 218, IF republicans stick together, which is no guarantee, since there are rinos loose in the land”
1. If the Blue Dogs have no confidence in the leadership, how long is it before they cut a deal with Republicans to vote all the leadership out?
2. How long will it be before Obama hires David Rodham Gergen to teach him to appeal to the milquetoasts?
Gridlock is GOOD!
I hope that they don’t.
My friend our hope now rests in the hands of blue dogs.
I don’t care if they are democrats or republicans, if they are willing to stand with us for what is right, I am by their side.
Pelosi is no Dog Whisperer. She has a choke collar on them and is tugging frantically, but they are about to bite the hand that misleads them.

Blistering grassroots pressure appears to have forced Sen.
Majority Leader Harry Reid to seek some emergency relief by
announcing there would be no health care vote until after
the August recess.
But is it really good news?
Any delay is good, but Reid’s actions are little more than
political misdirection—a ploy to release some of the built
up pressure while the “dirty details” of ObamaCare can be
worked out and tidied up in the Senate Finance Committee.
Reid’s carefully calculated actions prove to me that we
are making a powerful—even historic impact! Imagine
the day after day deluge of petitions, faxes, phone
calls pummeling the Energy and Commerce committee—with
no end in sight!
Keith, we are overwhelming lawmakers.
With Obama breathing down his back demanding he get this done,
Reid had to do something to neutralize us. But that’s precisely
why we can’t fall for his “pressure release ploy.”
No, it’s paramount that we not allow Reid to silence us.
With ObamaCare now being worked on in the Senate Finance Committee,
I want to overwhelm them with a tsunami of protest from grassroots
Americans who refuse to allow the federal government to increase
their control over us by co-opting our health care system.
++ EMERGENCY Petition Delivery Wednesday!
Last week we directed petitions to multiple targets.
On Wednesday they will be delivered to the Senate Finance committee—
demonstrating to Reid and everyone else that
WE WILL NOT GO AWAY. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!
I’m asking ALL members of our team to help me rally an additional
50,000 citizen signers this weekend to help maximize our Wednesday
delivery by pushing us past the 300,000 mark!
Forward this message to 30-40 friends and family. Inform them
about Reid’s “pressure release ploy” and underscore to each the
importance of taking immediate action by signing our petition
and having a real voice in this unfolding and historic debate.

As the sordid details of ObamaCare leak out to the public it’s
becoming increasingly clear the true intent of this plan is to
exercise more control over the citizens of our nation.
Take immediate action with me by rallying your friends and family
today so that I can include them in our next delivery to Capitol
Hill this coming Wednesday!
Again, thank you in advance for your incredible support.

P.S: It’s the ObamaCare chart Democrats don’t want you to see.
In fact, they have outrageously refused Republicans to send it
out to their constituents! We have the chart, and we urge you
to take a close look. After review, we’re pretty certain you’ll
understand why Democrats don’t want it going out to the
American public!

Let the games begin...
agreed
keep calling and sending mail.
Get an address in that area and call, call .call
if the GOP had any brains they would be doing all they can with the blue dogs, make them feel welcome to the GOP etc.
The Dem party are full of bullies and even to their own.
The left radical loons just do not get it into the brainless sheep head that their agenda is that of a wacky one whioch no one wants except for a small handful of brainwashed students and aging hippies.
Nearly forgot also those elitist snobby idiots who live one way but want the rest to live differently.
For the left loons lurking.
Have you turned you A/C up to 80?
Have those in power on the left?
Have you been living in diverse areas like Dorchester MA or do you just say you like diversity?
Do you live in a ghetto where it is diverse?
Do you drive slowly to save energy?
Hope you don’t own a boat etc.
Hope you don’t live in a house bigger than 1200sq feet for a family of 5 .
I could go on with your hypocrisy but instead you will read this and then do the usual name calling instead of actually thinking about how hypocritical you lot are.
Stuck aren’t you becasue you don’t have a bumper sticker to address this
Keep calling indeed!
If the stuff about 40-45 no votes is true, that means they’ll quite a bit short.
He may not be much better but his chances of being elected in 2012 are a heck of a lot less than Obamas.
I’m with you, Biker Chick!!!
