Is it time to draw a line in the sand?
We have a large majority in the House and 60 votes in the Senate. If we can't pass health care reform, it is nobody's fault but our own.

Should there not be a consequence if they don't do their job that we sent their asses up there to do? Can they continue to play their silly ass "blue dog" games and expect to get our support? Personally, they will not get my vote if they cannot grow a backbone and pretty soon. I am sick of their cowardice and bullshit.

2. My rep is a blue dog...
..and, I didn't vote for him. I don't vote for Republicans, regardless of what they call themselves.

3. I drew the line in the sand a long time ago. In primaries I ALWAYS
support the dem (or green) who is running against the blue dog. They only get my vote if they are the last one standing against the repub, and then it is grudging.

4. We just have to make sure the BD's aren't in the room when the vote takes place
They can whine and pule all they want - but in the end if they can't vote they are irrelevant

5. Agree. Those who continue to support these DINOs are not helping anything except
the continuation of repuke rule.

Those large majorities in Congress are working wonders, aren't they?

Personally, I will not vote for any so-called Democrat unless they act and vote like a real Democrat.

Currently, I am theoretically represented by three Dems (Schwartz, Casey and Spectre) in PA. None has ever and will never get my vote because they are only marginally better than the repukes that used to "represent" me. Certainly not worth supporting.

Until the non-Dems suffer consequences for their actions, they will continue to serve their corporate masters instead of the people who voted them into office. There is only one, obvious solution - do not vote them into office.
