That’s what I was thinking.

These conservative Dems were promoted and recruited because they COULD win in conservative districts.

Put some libs on the ballot and the GOP will take the seats.

She also criticized White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for recruiting many of the House’s more conservative members when he headed the House Democrats’ campaign arm. Now, she said, “The chickens are coming home to roost.”

I read an article in the WSJ yesterday that said when push comes to shove, most of the those Blue Dogs end up voting with the Democrats, even on big ticket items. It will be interesting to see just what happens with Obamacare.

If Waters wants to run more liberal Dems against them, that's fine with me. It will make for an even MORE clear contrast, if some conservative Republicans run against them in 2010.

Her statement shows just how stupid this woman is. The Blue Dogs are from more right-leaning districts, for the most part. If you run a liberal Dem in those districts, you'll end up with a Republican rep.

Blue Dogs are those Democrats who can be somewhat conservative, compared to their more rabid colleagues. Those folks are called Yellow Dog Democrats, because it was always said they’d vote for a Yellow Dog, as long as it’s a Democrat.

She really is clueless, isn’t she? The only reason they were elected is because they ran as CONSERVATIVE Democrats. Go ahead Rats, run left-wing radicals in these districts next time and see what happens.

Is factual because her constituents keep electing her, they must not know enough to be embarrassed by this witless woman.

You see, you have to actually have a brain along with common sense and she has neither.

Stupid, certainly. But probably just as much a factor is the liberal grievance world bubble she's in is not populated by any rational people. She's a modern day Pauline Kael:

"I don't know anyone who voted for these more conservative House members" that Rahm Emanuel foisted on us, but “the chickens are coming home to roost” now.

Anyone that believes the Fuhrer and Congress cares about their health, they need a psychiatrist. It’s all about power and setting politicians up to determine who lives and who dies.

"It doesn’t have to make sense."

A point we should remember with leftists. Trying to apply logic to their actions is an exercise in futility.

The Dem “leadership” can’t stand it when congressmen represent the opinions of their constituents and not Nancy Pelosi’s. The only seat Pelosi could win in TX is already occupied by Sheila Jackson-Lee.

She may not have to worry, but they are remembering what happened in 1994.....over the same issue.

They are trying to claim they lost seats in '94 because they didn't get Hill's healthcare bill passed.

They are out of touch and liars!
