With Democratic "Friends" Like These...

Voting against health care reform, OK, whatever....

Voting against the stimulus... yeah, sure...

Saying you won't back Nancy Pelosi for speaker... if you think that's what you have to do in your district...

But claiming you voted for John McCain in 2008? Gimme a break.

1. I am beginning to believe these Blue Dogs are Republicans who

for whatever reason cannot run as Republicans so they
dressed up Donkey's clothes. The Party had better start
vetting their candidates.

We are now beginning to see a pattern which explains
why the Blue Dogs vote with Republicans on any significant
legislation.

2. I thought that has been obvious for a long time. And so long as they

are incumbents, they get the party support, and claim that truer Democrats "can't win" in their district or state, making for a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It never sinks in that people are electing them, as Democrats, because they don't want to vote for the Republican. If they are supporting a Democrat with Republican values, how much more might they support a Democrat with Democratic values? Seriously - Dennis Kucinich repeatedly reelected in OHIO?

3. And since the party will see losses on Nov. 2, I hope the losses are centered on the Blue Dogs.

They certainly deserve to lose.

4. Yes. I don't think it breaks the rules to say that if we must take some

losses, may they all be Blue Dogs.

7. Or they are neo-cons on a mission

To infiltrate and destroy the Democratic party.

In which case, they are doing pretty well.

5. This is tame compared to.......

to what this Democratic candidate says about President Obama

October 12, 2010 — As Obama’s ongoing mental collapse continues to accelerate, two additional reasons why he must be forced out now, by invoking section 4 of the 25th amendment, have occurred, in just the past three days. It should be clear: these latest actions are not just the mere financial policies of a medicated, chain smoking, temper tantrum throwing, paranoid narcissist; Obama is caught in a psychotic downward spiral, and it is becoming more and more obvious his rage fits include plans to take the country with him.
