1. It is heartbreaking to think about the healthcare bill we could have had
if the bluedogs had been muzzled. :grr:

They aren't supporting their constituents.

They aren't supporting our party.

They aren't supporting our party's priorities.

Why the hell are we wasting party resources getting them elected and giving them seats? What good have a majority if we can't even accomplish something as universally supported and agreeable as access to health care?

They manufactured a dissent that did not really exist, cooperating with republicans in doing so, solely to support corporate masters to undermine real progress. :grr:

What will our majority accomplish that will counterweight the damage of that? What will they do to make the blue dogs valuable to the party?

We would have been much better off fighting with a slightly smaller, bravery, more unified party.
