Would it be more accurate to call DLC & Blue Dogs Democrats just plain corrupt instead?

It is really dishonest to say they are ''moderate'' or ''pragmatic'' when in reality, they are serving their corporate donors and future corporate employers rather than the wishes of their constituents.

This has been made most obvious in polls of voters in blue dogs' states and districts about the public option in health care reform:

Even voters who reside in more conservative districts are not retarded or prefer being raped by insurance companies to having access to something like Medicare as an alternative.

In fact, one CBS poll found that even Republican voters favor a public option.

Even in places where people have drunken the conservative KoolAid and think they don't want a public option, once they had it given to them, they would probably cling to as tenaciously as the teabaggers cling to Medicare, even as they decry ''socialized medicine.''

Giving people a real public option would yield long term dividends for the Democrats.

For Blue Dogs & DLCers to blame their constituents for wanting bad or no reform is a lie. Their reason for dragging their feet is they would rather lift their skirt for the insurance and pharmaceutical companies to collect the cash they leave on the dresser. Then when they leave Congress, they hope to get upgraded to mistress (lobbyist) or wife (CEO or board member).

So would it be more accurate to call DLC & Blue Dogs Democrats just plain corrupt instead?

By their definition, they go against what their platform believes, for money. That is the definition of "corrupted."

Straight from the DLC's, I mean "New Democrats'" website.

even while DU was defending him as the "not DLC" primary candidate.

talk show hosts telling us that all it takes is for Obama to take them in the backroom and tell them they better pass the bill or else.


These lying,thieving,hypocrites know what they are doing,what about us telling them. Some of us are telling them and they are telling us they don't give a damn what WE THE PEOPLE say or think so,its time for them to go.
