Half Of The Blue Dogs Lost Their Seats........
who voted them out? Dems or Repugs? Did they lose because Dems crossed over to beat them?

1. Their worst attribute is that they misled us about our own majority.
So goodbye, now elect progressives among the cave people.

2. Here we go with the Blue Dog BS again, if they weren't

Blue Dogs to start with they wouldn't have been elected. My Congressman got voted out for one single reason he voted for the HCR bill. Grayson got voted out, how do you explain that?

6. Right. Blue dogs got replaced with Republicans & it will be a long time before a Dem
ever holds those seats again. Blue Dogs are Blue Dogs because they like to get reelected. Politicians dearly love to get reelected.

I'd much rather have a Blue Dog who votes with the party 75% of the time compared to a Republican who never does, and who counts in the Democratic column toward a majority.

If my rep was a Blue Dog I would vote for him in a heartbeat to keep out a Republican/Teabagger.

3. Maybe,
But it could be that voters couldn't vote for anyone on the ticket and just stayed home.

4. It just means that we never had the majority we thought we had.
