The Blue Dog Democrats have reached new depths of infamy this week, as their role in delaying and ultimately eviscerating health care reform legislation has become clear. Without the stalling tactics of Blue Dogs in the House of Representatives earlier this year, Joseph Lieberman’s nasty neutering of reform in the Senate would not have been possible.
Mainstream progressive Democrats are joining liberal activists in nearing a full scale revolt against their own party’s leadership, demanding that the Blue Dogs’ destructive activities finally be brought under control.
U.S. Representative Maxine Waters spoke for many when she said of the Blue Dogs, “Now the chickens have come home to roost.”
You can show your participation in the progressive campaign to challenge the Blue Dog Democrats with progressive primary campaigns by placing the bumper sticker you see here on your car – with an evocative graphic blue dog and a simple, clear message: No Blue Dogs.
Love the sticker, but you need to change the picture. You have a bulldog or is it a bull terrier? Either way this is a breed that is tenacious and never gives up, the opposite of a blue dog dinocrat. A better picture would be a poodle with one of those ridiculous haircuts, this would be more accurate and I believe it would sell more stickers.
Thanks for the advice, Joe. You have an excellent point. A poodle alternative will probably soon be on the way.
