'Blue Dogs' Serve Blue Bloods...

[Hubert Flottz]

To the manor born democrats serve only the people with the big money. What you or I need to survive don't factor into their little greasy palmed way of doing business as usual in Washington. I hope the Unions stick to their guns and just say no to the Blue Dogs they next time they come begging for our votes and promising us that they will work for us instead of the rich and powerful who pull their puppet strings. At least we are getting a chance to see them for what they really are. Not a very good trade-off for getting sold out to the highest bidder on the health care issue, but that's probably all we are going to get from them.

The sticky fingered 'Glue Dogs' don't need campaign managers, they need pimps. Them Dogs Won't Hunt for anyone but the Blue Bloods.

The Blue Dogs are not with us, they are against us, on the things that matter most.

1. BLUE BLOOD

From Jennifer Bunner in the USA: I was wondering about the origin of the phrase blue blood.

Unlike so many other expressions, this one is well documented.

It’s a direct translation of the Spanish sangre azul. Many of the oldest and proudest families of Castile used to boast that they were pure bred, having no link with the Moors who had for so long controlled the country, or indeed any other group. As a mark of this, they pointed to their veins, which seemed bluer in colour than those of such foreigners. This was simply because their blue-tinted veins showed up more prominently in their lighter skin, but they took it to be a mark of their pure breeding.

So the phrase blue blood came to refer to the blood which flowed in the veins of the oldest and most aristocratic families. The phrase was taken over into English in the 1830s. By the time Anthony Trollope used it in The Duke's Children in 1880, it had become common: More...

2. Blue Dogs

Blue Dog Democrats

Snip...

Originally comprising just 23 members, mostly from Southern states, the Blue Dogs supported the Republicans' Contract with America, complained that the Clinton White House was too liberal and called for a balanced federal budget. Shortly thereafter, the coalition's co-founders, Tauzin and Louisiana Representative Jimmy Hayes, switched to the Republican Party. Blue Dog numbers expand and contract with every election, and new members are adorably referred to as Blue Pups. Nineteen Blue Pups have won seats in the past two elections. Two were defeated and a handful more retired. Read More...

3. Aha, you are finally catching on. Conservatives conserve the Elitist

Society. (A society in which the wealthy and businesses
rule.) It does not matter whether Conservative has a D or an R

For fun check out Blue Dog States.

4. We have really conserved in Iraq haven't we?

The "Blue Dogs" are republicans who can't get elected as republicans so they lie from the Get-Go about themselves. I believe they are worse than a person who openly admits that they are a repub. They fool to rule, just like George W Bush and the rest of the GOP.

6. There seem,s to be something that prevents the Pubs and the Dems from really working together

It might be a low odds thing...

Pubs on Individualistic Level..always yakking about something minutiae

The Dems...they always looking at the Whole

2 differing Levels

8. Blue Dogs = InfilTraitors

The Mole people...I wonder what all kinds of secrets Joe Lieberman is spilling to all them pubs he's running around in Afghanistan with right now?

All them Pubs on that trip and the only Dino with them is Joey. Harry lets Joe into all the dems meetings and forgives Joe for working for McCain last year and there's Joe and McCain and Graham(the three amigos)back stirring up more shit in the Middle East.



McCain and Lieberman on Afghanistan

America's favorite Senatorial song and dance team are back together on the Washington Post op-ed page today, using a sledgehammer to clobber a straw man--the idea of taking a "minimalist" strategy in Iraq, whatever that means.

They seem to think "minimalism" means a return to the Iraq war strategy that didn't work--the one prior to the Petraeus counterinsurgency and buy-the-tribes tactics, when we dashed about the country playing whack-a-mole with assorted terrorists (the military term of art for this is counterterrorism). And so, in the interest of clarity, let me allay their fears: no one is proposing that. No one. Which is why they couldn't find a single quotation to cite. About the only people who think that "minimalism" and "counterterrorism" are in the works are professional distorters like Michael Goldfarb, formerly McCain's designated blog-thug, now a Niagara of ignorance at the Weekly Standard.

11. My sister went to a "Town Hall Meeting" day before yesterday

and she about had to fight her way out of that place.(Bluefield WV, home of the dreaded Baldwin Felts detective agency of old) She said the crazy people outnumbered the sane by about three to one, counting the insurance company goons and the spaced out, gyrating, holy rollers. She said, "I didn't see any guns, but I saw wall to wall goons!" She was going to another town hall today in Beckley WV, where they expected a big union member turnout. She said congressman Nick Joe Rahall handled the crazies very well in that wild exchange at Bluefield. A big thunder storm finally ran the protesters off in Bluefield Monday.

Yep, the GOPers are mean as hell until someone stands up to them and gives them a dose of the same kind of crap they like to dish out. My little 5'4" sister will kick their Freeper asses before they know what hit 'em.(they ain't seen MEAN) And I'll bail her out! Feuding is again becoming part of everyday life here in West Bye Gawd!

9. Too poor to be on the internet looking for the truth?

Too poor to give a damn?
