Eleven Dems, all Blue Dogs, voted against bill to extend unemployment benefits today
How many Blue Dogs support the extension of all the Bush tax cuts? Most, if not all, I expect. Deficits don't matter when it comes to tax cuts, they pay for themselves, you know. The Blue Dogs believe this insanely ridiculous lie--just like Republicans. And, several of them were defeated in November. Good riddance, I say!

1. I hope all those motherfuckers
were voted out in November. If not, somebody in their home districts should be taking notes in order to get them OUT in the next election.

16. Do people in this country see how Republicans feel about them?
Only 21 voted yes. And these are the clowns they've now put in charge of the house. Fools
