Being chosen by the Blue Dogs to run point on health care practically guarantees one’s role won’t be to make health care happen, but to stop it.
Cooper is a moron.

oooh, hot Blue Dog on Blue Dog action !

Why is it that states the Blue Dogs hail from have the worst health stats in the country?

Isn’t this like Al Capone congratulating Bugs Moran?

ROFLMAO!

Well at least we know for one fleeting second Mike Ross has acknowledged he’s aware of the fact and helping make sure someone goes bankrupt every thirty seconds.

And we know Cooper can change that subject in a nano second.

First he brags about holding up healthcare, now he is getting his friend to lie for him about how great he is on healthcare has Mike Ross realized that our polls typically don’t cover people without land lines like the young.
I’m thinking if Mike Ross is running from the position that he used to brag about the real polling numbers must be better than we think.
I am open to other suggestions.

OT. How many little blue pills are in Jim DeMint’s suitcase?

Cooper apparently is one of those conservatives who can perform emergency gallbladder surgery or triple bypass surgery to avoid going to the hospital and be charged for a portion of the final bill. Wow! How impressive! Spit.

Because nobody’s fought harder in Congress than you have for better health care for all of our people.

Whats Next Michelle Bachmann is going to claim she is for gun control laws?

I bet the Blue Dogs and Rahm seeing the polls are now going to try and take credit for whatever ends up passing.

Funny not to long ago they were set on bragging about killing healthcare. Not they want to take credit for it.

Heaven help he should do something for America, yeeea he tells everyone what a patriot he is wraps the flag all around his shoulders mmmm yea real American (eye roll)

How did that ad buy in Arkansas work out? Was there any feedback?

Is being a political prick a pre-existing condition?

Correction 5522, $274,232

Well, she did admit recently while yelling on the floor of the House that the government needs to keep it’s hands off her body, which was her way of saying, “I support abortion rights! The government has no right to tell me or anyone else what we women can and cannot do with our bodies!”. See?

IMHO Republicans are less of an obstruction than are Blue Dogs.

Blue Dogs are Republicans with a D, they just have a slightly smaller helping of crazy on their plates. They are, however, ready to go back for seconds it they need to in order to please the Republicans with an R.

One of the things I enjoy most about Mike Ross is this:

Looks like that commercial property sale might get expensive…

Ross and Cooper’s grossly distorting their records, now that ought to be a story real reporters could sink their teeth into.

With digital media, their mutually supportive lies would be easy to document. So why would they commit such easily documented frauds on their electorate and the general public? For money, sex, committee chairmanships, freedom from preliminary electoral contests, sex, clean diapers for their sexual escapades (assuming they have any or need them)? How bad do the lies have to be before the MSM admits they are not “contrasting opinions”, but lies?

The answers would interest the readers of any blog or general newspaper, especially those tens of millions desperate for better and more cost-effective insurance and health care. Have we any takers?

All these blue dogs should be primaried. The worst that would happen is a republic who has the balls to call himself one would get elected.

I don’t get the drive to keep the blue dogs either. If they vote like Republicans, we gain nothing on policy. At least if it was a Republican voting that way, the Republicans would get some blame for that bad policy instead of calling it a Democratic failure. Kind of reminds me of how the democrats are being blamed for the weaknesses of the stimulus package when the worst of it was not progressive policy.

Unconsciounable
