--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know the Blue Dogs agenda: NO MORE GOVERNMENT DEBT. Enough. Is Obama trying to bury the country in debt? Mark my words, if this nutty debt laden budget is passed, we are going to see hyperinflation that will make the past 6 months of economic mess seem like a vacation. Does anyone understand economics?

Hmmmm you sound just like &quot;I know where Bin Laden is and I can get him... John McCant Another Retardican blowhard&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>The GOP wing of the Democratic Party cannot be trusted.  It helped enable almost 30 years of Reaganomics, which corrupted and bankrupted America.

Bearing in mind that the best humor is based in truth, here’s an accounting joke that explains everything:

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The GOP’s balance sheet for America has two sides, with liabilities on the left, and assets on the right.  The problem is that on the left, there’s nothing right, while on the right, there’s nothing left.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

As they say in Iraq, the GOP and these Blue Dogs still don’t know “Shiite from Shinola.”

My progressive views appear in &lt;em&gt;&quot;The Bush League of Nations: The Coalition of the Unwilling, the Bullied and the Bribed – the GOP’s War on Iraq and America,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; by James A. Swanson (2008, CreateSpace Publishing, 448 pages).

You can now download for FREE the entire $25.95 book at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bushleagueofnations.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.bushleagueofnations.com&lt;/a&gt;.

I ask for nothing in return, except that you consider using my book as a resource to help restore and build America. Perhaps, if you are so inclined, you will also pass along the good word. I&#039;d appreciate that.

		<description>I want to encourage all democrats to remember that blue dogs are also part of this big tent and that most of the time, the run with the stream. Not only that, being a democrat means accepting differences within the party. Otherwise, we would be no better than the republicans.

Think about it.

And don&#039;t forget that Evan Bayh has won landslides in a very, very red state and his support of Obama, half-hearted though it was, did indeed help to put our man Obama over the top in the Hoosier state.

Obama has succeeded in building the most diverse and most powerful democratic coalition since FDR. If we want to keep it, then the last thing we need is infighting or the urge to purge.

Think about it.</description>

		<description>I think that Representatives and Senators should have to wear the logos of their largest ten political contributors on the front of their suit jackets. Just like the drivers in Nascar do for their sponsors. That way, when they step up to derail useful legislation, the voters could draw the proper conclusions as to their REAL loyalties and motives.</description>

		<description>CSH Says:
to represent his constituents,
That’s exactly what he’s doing.

No, as a resident of Indiana I take exception to your flawed statement. He is not representing the citizens, he is working for the corporate interests that have squeezed all the money they can from this state.

Nobody thought we would elect Obama, but we did. Some think we will not get rid of Bayh. We will remember his words and deeds at election time. He was elected by the people and we can send Evan to the unemployment line if this stupidity continues.</description>

		<description>The movie was &quot;Duck Soup&quot; and you can see it on youtube.
Part 8, the first 2-3 minutes, is the stage production of &quot;All God&#039;s Chillen&#039;s Got Guns&quot; musical. Actually, it&#039;s more relevant to the prior administrations as the plot is all about &quot;Freedonia&#039;s mismanagement by the prior administration, plus, the country is broke so who is going to bail them out?</description>

		<description>This reminds me of Groucho Marx&#039;s singing the political song,
&quot;If They&#039;re for it, I&#039;m Against It!&quot; 

I can&#039;t recall the particular movie, but it&#039;s the one where the Marx&#039;s Brothers are liberating the country of &quot;Freedonia&quot;. Groucho is against some political &quot;upstarts&quot; so he starts a war. There were lots of great songs in the movie like, &quot;We Got Guns, They Got Guns, All God&#039;s Children Got Guns&quot;,and, &quot;To War, To War&quot;.

Maybe this blue dog group is just some sort of comic relief...</description>

		<description>Of course Bayh has an agenda.

		<description>I&#039;m not quite sure what Bayh means by the interest of &quot;businesses.&quot;

Every day of the week I go to work and try to figure out how to convince Vendor-1 to wait on getting paid while the businesses I work for pay Vendor-2.

republican policies have destroyed the unionized American industrial base, that created the American middle class, that &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IS/was&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; the great American consumer society. That is gone, though the memory and habits still linger.

As for the businesses I work for? It&#039;s a toss-up as to how long they will remain open without foot-traffic walking into the showroom and plunking down some cash for the stuff they sell.</description>

Hank,
Why defile Cindy Sheehan with your linking to her congressional web site. You come here and bash the progressive movement. You are low. Scum. Pathetic. a cretin.

In short...
... A TROLL!

		<description>Since they have no agenda yet are obviously pushing one and it is remarkably similar to the Republicans it is safe to assume they are owned by the same people.

You know, the ones who think their &#039;constituency&#039; sit in board rooms.</description>
