The missing Hillary! PUMAs in '08 were sufficient warning that the Blue Dog Democrats of last night were were nothing more than sucker bait. This was a particularly hard lesson, but some conservatives are so stubborn in the face of facts that only beating beaten to a pulp twice gets their attention.
If the myths of Blue Dog tractability and Newt Gingrich's viability have finally been laid to rest this year, then there are two less stumbling blocks in the way. Better late than never, I suppose.

My rep is a blue dog that voted against the bill. I’m still going to work to throw his @ss out of office next year.
To: LS
If there was a moderate dem who was pro-life, pro-gun, fiscally conservative, running agaist a true RINO, I’d still never vote for the dem. Every dem member either adds to their majority or allows them to have one.
Never, ever vote dem under any circumstance.

If Bush and the GOP hadn’t screwed up in 2006 there wouldn’t be any so called Blue Dogs
WE had a GOP President and a GOP congress and look how that turned out

Those that voted for them. If they have Democrat attached to their ticket, they are Left wingers.

Ain't the conservatives that are the problem --they didn't vote for these boobs in 2006 ---It was ordinary GOP voters that were poed at Bush and had NO IDEA how congress and the committee system works

With all “due” respect....Uncle....
I didn’t get the government I deserve, nor the one I voted for. I got the communist government that I voted AGAINST.
Get your facts straight and stuff that “always”.

Don’t kid yourself. A Republican House and Senate never even would have introduced such an abomination of a bill, and you damn well know it. STOP BLAMING BUSH.

I know too many people who hate the GOP and consider themselves conservative, and who believe(d) fervently in patriotic PUMAs and star-spangled Blue Dogs. Maybe I should have said that the problem is gullibles who desperately bought - and spread - the kind of shinola that made them feel all warm and fuzzy.

Absolutely right---but you know what? Jefferson "grew the government." Adams "grew the government." Jackson "grew the government." I cannot find ANY administration for ANY period of time (save two brief "panics" or depressions) where government spending substantially fell or the power of government relatively didn't increase. So that's also a red herring.
The simple fact is---and anyone who doesn't realize this now is a fool---a GOP House and Senate never ever would have introduced this abominable bill.

Yep. A RINO you can always threaten with losing a seat. A Dem will only respond to party, first, last, and always.

You’re right. Apologies. And I will blame Bush for introducing such junk as “prescription drug coverage” and high deficits that enabled the Dems to win. So you got that right.
