5. A blue dog is a card carrying DLC piece of shit.

Or a corporate "New Democrat". Put 'em to sleep.

6. Ah so Members of the Democrat Leadership Council

How do you define "New Democrat" (a term some 20 years old at this point)?

Would a "Pro-Business Democrat" be similar?

10. "Blue Dogs" are "Conservative Democrats" that usually vote with the Bushies.

2007 Blue Dog Contribution Boycott of the DCCC

In 2007 15 Blue Dog Coalition Members in safe seats refused to contribute party dues to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. An additional 16 Blue Dogs have not paid any money to the DCCC but were exempt from party-mandated contributions because they are top GOP targets for defeat in 2008. The stated reason for the party dues boycott are remarks made by Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) encouraging leaders of anti-war groups to field primary challenges to any Democrat who does not vote to end the Iraq War. Woolsey later stated that she was misunderstood but the Blue Dogs have continued with the Boycott. Donations to the DCCC or its Republican counterpart, the National Republican Congressional Committee, are an important source of funding for the party committees, yielding millions of dollars that can then be funneled back into close races.<6>

They're not housebroken, and they're shitting all over the floor of the House.

17. I like my Blue Dog -- John Barrow of GA -- better than the alternative.

[Ian David]

21. Have we set the bar THAT low? "The alternative sucks more" is now acceptable? n/t

[Virginia Dare]

18. What about our yellow elephants?...n/t

[Ian David]

22. Those are already spayed and neutered. It would be redundant. n/t

[onenote]

19. and by what magic do you expect to replace a blue dog with a progressive democrat?

And if that magic will work in blue dog districts, i suppose you can make it work in other red districts so that we have 435 progressive democrats in Congress.

[Ian David]

20. I didn't say they should be removed. Just spayed or neutered.

And that doesn't mean just the Blue Dogs in Congress. That also means the people who keep voting for them.
