(53,467 posts)Several blue dogs, including Feinstein, were not supporting the filibuster reform Reid wanted. Guess her reelection race is coming up and she doesn't want to endanger that. It's deja vu all over again (my apologies to Yogi Berra), but these blue dog dems are just as destructive as the repugs. If you can't depend on people allegedly in your own party . . . WTF? It's not all Reid's fault. I just hope these sorry ass blue dog dems don't do this shit all over again like they did in '09 and '10 or we'll lose ground again in 2014. These blue dogs need to be exposed. They're more worried about keeping their job than turning the country around. And Feinstein is rich, what's she worried about her job for? Guess she likes the power and notoriety. And she's submitting an anti-assault weapon bill that she knows won't pass but won't back the full filibuster reform bill. God! It's all for attention and show.
