I have long held that we are better off with a majority that includes Blue Dogs than . . . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . being a minority and not controlling committees.

I am no longer so comfortable in that thinking.

We have held a Congressional majority since 2006. We got to set the agenda.

There was not one official minute of testimony about stolen elections.

There was not one official minute of testimony about oil meetings.

There was not one official minute of testimony about why we went to war in Iraq.

There was not one official minute of testimony about war crimes by the leadership.

There was not one official minute of testimony about many things that actually, really, honestly MATTER.

We now hold all three branches and STILL we get nothing for our majority.





The repubicans have provided a Ph.D. level education of how to lead from the back of the parade. Maybe we're better biting the bullet now, casting off the Blue Dogs, and working to get real Democrats elected.

Or maybe not. I have this very strong "fuck 'em" streak of real antipathy toward the Blue Dogs who have, in actual fact, fucked US at every chance.
