A Name For Our Pain

And it is… The Senate Blue Dog Group.

Formed by Senator Evan Bayh. These guys will absolutely be a pain in the assneck for the next four years. Lieberman bad.

So glad the Obama campaign didn’t choose him for vice president. We won Indiana anyway. And we didn’t have to deal with a running mate who took money from one of America’s biggest polluters.

    Apparently, Bayh has been watching CNN too much and continues to believe that this is a center-right country. Maybe we’d have been better off with him living in the Blair House. Obama could have asked him not to come out until instructed otherwise.

    Since when has any Republican not been a pain in the ass??

    Blue Dogs are the absolute worst. The only time anyone’s hand should extend across the aisle is to lob a grenade.

    Travis, I’m considered a liberal but you’re so far left of me it hurts. How in the heck do you manage to live in Alabama without going postal?

    I think regardless of geography, it’s pretty easy to know right from wrong.

    Obama cannot count on the support of at least 10 Senators on even slightly controversial (“liberal”) legislative measures or appointments.The Murkin “people” may be ‘center-left’ or even further left than that, if you leave labels off the measures they favor: Universal health-care, ending the wars, fixing the environment/climate, etc.But the political leaders, no matter the party, govern from the side of the CorpoRats, always, and inevitably. If the ‘people’ see any benefit from any legislation, it is purely an accidental, unintended side-effect of coddling and fellating the Corporations.With the BlueDawgs still in office in the Senate (Lincoln, the two Nelsons, Baucus, Landrieu, Carper, even Rockefeller, and Byrd, and especially Feinstein), the Obama regime will be lucky to get another Catholic conservative on the Court, to say nothing of a viable moderate/liberal vote…Optimism is a species of delusion akin to religious ‘faith.’ Both require the abandonment of reason, promise a pay-off ‘someday,’ and always have reasons why it didn’t work.
