My Blue Dog congresscritter sent me a calendar

[UTUSN]

Return address: Congress of the U. S. - not his name. His illegible initial as the postage.

I've e-mailed him at least twice with the Riot Act of his better quit with the "working across the aisle" and other even more obvious wingnut code words. Apparently all the critters care about is building their mailing lists regardless of what the input was. I will say that his predecessor was a good mainstream Dem who never sent me a calendar, not that my allegiance is bought.

1. Is it a blue dog shaming calendar at least?

[UTUSN]

4. Naw, even just his postage privileges reek of arrogance, increasing entitlement!1

2. At least yours is a Democrat.

You should see the shithead I have.

[UTUSN]

3. Well, the smallest of favors in a Red plague. Condolences.

5. Who identifies as a Blue Dog anymore?

I thought they'd all been put to sleep.

[UTUSN]

7. Their actions speak louder. Isn't the MANCHIN ilk defined as Blue Dog?

8. Replying to Raine #6

6. At least you get a calendar

mine's a Dem but he never sent me anything except emails about how "great" a job he's doing and asking for a donation.

9. He's new, is getting off on breaking in the perks.

10. The thing is that Blue Dog Democrats count towards the Democratic Party controlling

either the House or the Senate. There are places that would elect a Blue Dog Democrat but never a Progressive one. In that case I would prefer a Blue Dog Democrat who votes with the party most of the time as opposed to a Republican who would likely vote with the Democratic Party none of the time.

12. Yeh, that explains the chronic pain in my gut

11. That's more than the asshole republican who supposedly represents me has ever sent.

The most he ever did for me was cause massive embarrassment when he called President Obama a liar during his first State of the Union address.

13. Wicha, wicha, wicha

14. I would love a blue dog representative.

Or green, mauve or lavender.

Even a fucking cat if he or she were a member of the Democratic Party. But mine is a republican.

So from where I sit, respectfully, quit your whining.

15. Empathy,here
