Thank goodness (for now) for the Blue Dog Democrats...they are speaking up in numbers on the proposed Health Care legislation that the Democratic leadership is trying to ram-rod through the house...
As the Democratic leaders worked feverishly to finalize details of the legislation for a planned Friday rollout, the Blue Dog Coalition sent a letter late Thursday night saying the bill "lacks a number of elements essential to preserving what works and fixing what is broken."

Yea, even the Blue Dogs agree with the need for a massive health care bill, which IMHO, will bankrupt the country...but if we are going to have to eat a sh1t sandwich, at least reduce the amount of sh!t in it...

According to Representative Allen Boyd of FLorida, a leader of the Blue Dogs:
"From a practical standpoint in terms of a timeline, a bill doesn't come into the House chamber until you got the votes to pass it, and I don't think they have the votes to pass it at this point. We've got to try to get to point where we're comfortable,"

Excuse me... I find your tone offensive MR.

I would argue that the percentage of Republicans that "get it" is about the same as the percentage of Democrats that "get it"...

about 25%

:coffee: as you were gentlemen

Possibly the very same politicians who don't feel they have a lock on their seats.
