[theophilus]

admit he is a Blue Dog Dem?

1. .........

2. Here's a riddle for you to consider:

What is the real difference between a Blue Dog Dem and a Republican?

(Answer will show up at 10Pm California time.)

[Zywiec]

6. If you talk like a Republican,

think like a Republican, and vote like a Republican, why are you a Democrat?

[MissDeeds]

10. Yep

Good question.

[truedelphi]

15. Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner.

My answer was slightly lengthier. As someone who admires brevity I will let your answer be the answer.

3. Of course not -

only opponants to his recent antics will. His supporters will continue to claim he is a liberal progressive, which is about as real as the republicans claim that he's a socialist.

4. I'm sure using the term "antics" will inspire many...

to rush this thread and explain their position. After all your subject line is not insulting at all. :eyes:

[Occam Bandage]

5. "Blue Dog Dem" means nothing but "member of the Blue Dog Coalition," which is limited to the House.

Perhaps you mean, "admit he is a moderate Democrat," which isn't that much of an admission.

[MineralMan]

7. Antics?

No, we won't "admit" that. He's never even been in the House of Representatives. A little research and a little more thought would make a better OP. Unrecommended.

9. the other thing is

I seriously doubt there is anyone at DU who thinks the Tax deal is perfect or could be called a "supporter" of it. On the other hand the Senate tried to pass the perfect deal a Saturday or two ago, and they didn't have the votes to do it. Too much binary thinking and too much willingness to ignore reality.

14. They didn't need to pass anything.

They didn't need to pass anything. All they needed to do was to let the Bush tax cuts expire.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

8. Absolutely!! You thought he was liberal? Nothing in his record

demonstrates that. I'm still baffled at why so many people fell for wingnut rhetoric...

11. Will they...

Resent UI for 13 months, will they resent the college tax credits, etc...,

[spanone]

12. books will be written on how both parties have fucked over Obama in his first 2 years imho

they have allowed little if anything get accomplished and may repeal the one victory he had hcr.

[theophilus]

13. That is a funny use of the word "victory", imo.
