The 7 House Democrats who voted no…

Got that? Seven. Why weren’t there at least 49 “Blue Dog” Democrats voting against this bailout?

The last newsworthy note on their site was from Sept 28, 2008.

I think they were force fed the KoolAid…

Got that? Seven. Why weren’t there at least 49 “Blue Dog” Democrats voting against this bailout?

After all…

Welcome to the Blue Dog Coalition website!

The fiscally conservative Democratic Blue Dog Coalition was formed in 1995 with the goal of representing the center of the House of Representatives and appealing to the mainstream values of the American public. The Blue Dogs are dedicated to a core set of beliefs that transcend partisan politics, including a deep commitment to the financial stability and national security of the United States. Currently there are 49 members of the Blue Dog Coalition.

Minnick represents my district. He’s not perfect, but he just picked up my vote in two years (the same one he didn’t get last November).

Careful, Cosmo…that may be EXACTLY why he voted against the bailout.

Minnick is a first-term Congressman who won a seat away from a Republican. Part of Pelosi’s plan is to strengthen and build on the Democratic Socialists majority. If Minnick had voted for the bailout, he would have lost the seat to a republican in 2008. His vote against it was a ruse. Please don’t be fooled.

As far as I’m concerned, Arlen Specter is Public Enemy Enema #1.

What he did, by running away from conservative principles, and partaking in the liberal excesses, was really crappy. No one should believe anything this man says anymore…he’s full of it!

The Dems just proved that … again.

When will the GOP get past the “all-is-nice-with-sugar-on-top” extra-high road they seem to always take.
This is politics, not your grandma’s birthday party.

It’s ironic that he may lose his primary race to a hard right Republican in the primary, and for having saved the party.

Silver lining watch:
A look inside the numbers shows the problem for Specter may be even more significant. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Republican voters in the state are less likely to vote for Specter. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, just 27% are more likely to support the long-time incumbent while 48% are less likely to do so

Thanks! That’s a good V-Day present.

mikeeg -

need to convince the little woman about the need for a gun before they pass laws not allowing me to own one

they won’t simply ban guns they will take guns and/or make ammo so utterly expensive you won’t be able to afford to buy any. The plan is to take all guns and outlaw all ammo that isn’t encoded. You will be required to turn in them or face jail and/or that little re-education camp near you and under rex-84 they have a bunch of them around the country….

Tell me why we had to hurry this up? Obama is not signing it until after the holiday?

Because Barry has to perpetuate his pubescent boy crush on Lincoln by signing his historical legislation on Presidents’ Day. What could possible be more important?
