Blue Dogs Bite
2009-03-05 14:30:00 So question, what is more danger9us, the bullet or the ballot.   I contend the latter.  Mrs. Pelosi seems to think the opposite.   Mrs. Pelosi was set to give District of Columbia residents representation in the House, albeit simply unconstitutional.  Chad Pergram and Mosheh Oinounou, Fox New : The House Democratic leadership Tuesday decided to delay a plan to grant a seat in the House to the District of Columbia. Since it is not a state, Washington, D.C., does not get a vote in Congress. The Senate approved a similar bill to give the District voting representation. And approval in the House seemed all but assured. But an amendment attached to the Senate version of the legislation by Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., created problems in the House. Mrs. Pelosi contends that giving D.C. residents voting representation in Congress is imporant, enough so to violate the Constitution.  Yet denying D.C. residents their Second Amendment rights is more important to M...

?Blue Dogs? Tuck Tail
2009-01-30 13:20:00 Wednesday, the 111th Congress burdened future generations of Americans with the passage of an embarrassingly non-stimulative “stimulus” bill. The final tally was a strictly partisan 244 yeas to 188 nays. Not a single Republican voted in favor of this behemouth, thankfully. More telling, however, is the way in which the supposedly moderate and fiscally ...

Which Is It? Blue Dogs or Red Dogs?
2008-05-10 03:02:00 It’s time to draw a line in the sand. There are forty-seven members of the Blue Dog Democrats, and we need to know which ones support the U.S. troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and which ones agree with Rep. John Tanner that they are nothing more than deficit-enhancing debris. This is what ...

FISA Fight: When Blue Dogs lie
2008-03-20 23:32:00 It’s bad enough when a Democrat abandons the party to do something like support Bush and the Protect AT&T Act, but it’s really bad when he lies to his constituents about his vote and the legislation. To wit, an e-mail from Rep. Jim Cooper to Kossack jnhobbs. Here’s the full text of the e-mail: Dear [jnhobbs]: Thank you ...

Blue Dogs
2007-11-30 01:47:00 Remind me the next time I get a dog to find one in blue.My dogs are white and their hair shows up everywhere. I was removing dark socks from the dryer and found them covered with white hair. I have a navy blue bedspread that should really be considered navy and white. Whenever I wear a black shirt my dogs try to jump on me and spread some of their white-hair-doggie-love.Do you think I would be charged with animal cruelty if I dyed them blue?

Blue Dogs Diss the DCCC
2007-10-25 02:18:00 by not paying their actual dues.From The Politico:A large group of ?Blue Dog? Democrats has refused to give money to the party?s campaign committee so far this cycle, underscoring simmering tension inside the Caucus and concerns about the caustic language of at least one anti-war Democrat. According to a review of Federal Election Commission records, 15 Blue Dogs have given no money to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as of Sept. 30, despite heavy pressure from party leaders. Rep. Sanford D. Bishop Jr. (D-Ga.), one of the 15, said he had donated on Oct. 1, but his staff would not say how much the congressman gave to the DCCC.An additional 16 Blue Dogs have not given any cash but were exempt from party-mandated contributions because they are top GOP targets for defeat in 2008, party officials said. ...Members of the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of 47 moderate-to-conservative House Democrats, point out that they often represent tough, hard-to-hold swing districts that co...

Blue Dogs
2007-03-14 17:44:00 MyDD is up in arms over, “Blue Dog Saboteurs,” Matt Stoller is mad because these Blue Dog democrats will not support the plan that Mrs. Pelosi uttely can not explain.  Stoller is off his medications calling the Blue Dogs’ lack of support sabotage. For something to be sabotaged, it first must operative.  The Pelosi/Murtha plan can not be sabotaged because it was still born.  A plan that can not be explained, and Mrs. Pelosi is totally incapable of explaining her “plan” can not be said to be operative.

2007-03-08 02:41:00 The Blue Dog Democrats, a coalition of moderate and conservative Democrats that has grown to 43 members in the 110th Congress has begun yielding a large amount of power within the Democratic majority, but despite the conventional wisdom, they have become strong defenders of the Speaker.The Blue Dogs are ideologically much farther to the right than Speaker Pelosi, they have become some of the strongest opponents of the President's Iraq policy and of reckless spending, which seems to have grown under Bush.The Blue Dogs see their coalition as important, as they have earned nine new members from the 2006 election;Mike Arcuri (D-New York)Joe Donnolley (D-Indiana)Brad Ellsworth (D-Indiana)Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York)Baron Hill (D-Indiana)Tim Mahoney (D-Florida)Patrick Murphy (D-Pennsylvania)Heath Shuler (D-North Carolina)Charlie Wilson (D-Ohio)Of the nine new members, only Murphy in Pennsylvania represents a district won by Kerry.
