Time to start protesting the Blue Dogs--they're supposed to be LISTENING to us.
I'm sorry, this is getting ridiculous. The Republicans are supposed to be war mongering corporatists. Our side is supposed to listen to the people. Especially when two-thirds of them support liberal policies and voted the Democrats into a majority in both houses, overwhelmingly citing reasons like ending the Iraq war, and holding the administration accountable which have all fallen by the wayside.

In many cases these Blue Dogs are not just being too conservative for progressive tastes, but they are going against explicit campaign promises to their voters.

I'm sorry it's divisive, I'm not the one who made the choice to divide the party. Thank Rahm Emanuel, James Carville, Harold Ford, and their ilk for deciding to go to war with the progressive majority of the Democratic Party the day after the '06 elections.

Thank the Dems who've recruited and bankrolled wealthy conservatives to knock off progressives in key races.

WE CANNOT LET OUR PARTY BECOME OVERRUN BY NEOCONS THE WAY THE REPUBLICANS DID!

4. Here's how to do it
http://workingforuspac.org/

There are three core beliefs driving Working For Us PAC. First, lawmakers should represent the interests of the constituents they represent. Second, lawmakers, especially Democrats, should fight for the middle class. And third, those who don't should be replaced by lawmakers who will.
