Blue Dogs are more dangerous

The conventional wisdom is that the "blue dog" democrats, conservative democrats in conservative districts read the writing on the wall Tuesday and somehow discerned that supporting the Obamaunist socialist agenda is a job killer..... for them.

Here in Ohio were have clowns like Steve Driehaus and Zach Space. The WSJ had this to say about a VA rep....
There's freshman Rep. Tom Perriello, who, buoyed by the big Obama turnout, won Virginia's fifth congressional district by a scant 727 votes. Today, Mr. Perriello's farming and manufacturing area sports the state's highest unemployment rate. The Democrat suffered a furious backlash over his vote for a cap-and-trade bill that will further crush local manufacturing and was then walloped at a series of health-care town halls.


I've got an alternative view that's a lot more ominous. These clowns already know they're toast and that makes them dangerous. Because if you are a liberal, what do you have to lose at this point? Your basically going to be winding down your congressional career in another 13 months and then you'll be gone. So why not approve all of the liberal wish list agenda?

Guys like Driehaus only got into office because of the exceptionally high turn out of young & black voters in his district looking to elect Obama. They're not going to show up to vote for him in 2010.

Do you really think Perriello is concerned about his congressional future?

I don't think so.

Look for these clowns to show up big for Lollapelosi and co. this weekend.

Pelosi will get her bill passed. I agree that there are some bluedogs who now have a death wish. The best thing we can hope for right now is exactly 218 votes, a squeaker to demonstrate that this is not a mandated plan. Then let it fester in joint congress committee for three months. That would be enough time for the bill to die of natural causes.

The big question is, how much more American debt will Pelosi have to give away to buy that 218th vote from Driehaus?

The fact that they have to work so freaking hard to get this passed should be a sign that the people do not really want this. Further proof that this is about what politicians want, not what the people want.

Even if just 60% of the people wanted this it would sail through. But less that 40% do. And that will fall once the final bill is public. Most people like their health care. What reason on earth would we have for reducing the quality of care for our kids under a govt controlled plan? Especially when we damn well know the quality of care will go down for most people they claim will get better care.

F**k the democrats! I don't care if they call me a selfish republican. They will do it anyway. They are the one's who are being selfish with this power grab from their own voters.

I hope they whole freaking bill goes down in flames. 99% of Obama voters would be better off if it did. They are just too obtuse to realize it.

I share Anonymous' opinion (10:35 post). But he must realize that the term 'obtuse' will have to be defined for the liberal readers before they can be properly insulted by it.
