progressives like Dennis Kucinich, Alan Grayson, Bernie Sanders?

Or say how FDR was a better president than Reagan and the Reagan Revolution has been a disaster for America?

Or that the conservative program of lower taxes for the wealthy and corporations, privatizing government functions (but still funding them with taxpayer dollars), and deregulating Wall Street have been a disaster for working and middle class Americans?

Most of us have had the misfortune of knowing people like Blue Dog politicians in real life: they can be very pleasant and accommodating to those they do business with and even competitors. Then when they get home, beat the shit out of their wife and kids, take the money the kids made mowing lawns and grandma's family jewels, and use that money to wine and dine clients at work.
