I would rather vote for Democrats who look out for the interests of average Americans rather than split the difference or even agree with Republicans even when it hurts middle and working class Americans like starting unnecessary wars, deregulating banks and Wall Street, and trade deals that gutted our manufacturing base those were Republican ideas that couldn't have been enacted without Blue Dog support. Blue Dogs even embrace right wing education reforms that want to break teachers unions and replace public schools with corporate run charter schools so Wall Street can siphon off some of our tax money meant for schools as profits.

Blue Dogs want your vote, but they want the money of big corporations and Wall Street banks more, first as campaign donations, then as big paychecks as lobbyists, CEO's, and do-nothing corporate board members when they leave office.

Blue Dogs should be honest about what they are: Republicans who don't have the stomach to suck up to the religious right, racists, and homophobes of that party's base, but do want to prove to the rich that they are more competent and reliable servants than the out of the closet Republicans.
