How do we make peace with Blue Dogs without giving them their way?

[neverforget]

56. I don't know. Here's my Dem Congressman on the Fiscal Cliff Bill:

Congressman Kurt Schrader (D-OR) tonight released the following statement after passage of a deal to avert the "fiscal cliff" in the House of Representatives:

"This is yet another short-term, Band-Aid solution that has become prevalent in Washington as of late," Rep. Schrader said. "It neither tackles the largest drivers of our deficits, nor lays a framework to say we will do so in the future. I remain staunchly committed to passing a big, bold deficit reduction and jobs package that puts everything on the table, including revenue, spending cuts and entitlement reforms, puts our nation back on a fiscally sound trajectory and promotes growth and certainty for our businesses."

Ooohhh. Entitlement Reforms! Oh and businesses must have certainty! RW talking point from a Democrat. He also loves Simpson Bowles

And to think I was in Congressman Blumenauer's district until now

I really don't like this guy.
