don't think Blue dog Democrats should be acting in any way to usurp other Democrats leverage with the hatched out deals with red state Republicans. Other Democrats should put them on notice. The President should veto anything they hatch out without passing the middleclass taxcuts now and letting the other tax cuts expire period! We should not accept any back door agreements. Let the taxcuts expire and then work on a dam deal! I think people will be extremely mad if the President let these ass holes get away with backdoor deals. He is in control and needs to keep them inline.

We in North Carolina has a Democratic Senator name Kay Hagan. We can challenge her in a Democratic Primary and bring her down. If she thinks she got problems with right wing Republicans, she will definately have problems with Democrats that support her. That is her decision. That should go for any other Blue Dog Democrat. I would definately campaign against Kay Hagan and get rid of her. The Democrats in North Carolina is already damaged from being in the bed of corporations. We just need to find better candidates that don't sell out the party.
