A blue dog democrate is someone with the same views as a democrat, they just ask that you explain to them how it's going to be paid for. My question is why do they have a category of democrate for this. Shouldn't all democrate's be this way? And can you please explain to me what he has done in the last year to fix the 8 years of failed policy? Please state the issue (war, economy, washington, whatever), and then explain to me what was failing, and how he has started to fix it. Don't worry if you end up staring at a blank page for a while... I am not sure anyone can do it. |
There's no such thing as a blank page on VGChartz. There's a Star Trek promo at the top of the screen right now.:)
Maybe back in the mid to late 90's the Blue Dog Democrats were about Fiscal responsibility (Only beacuse Democrats weren't in power in Congress), but I don't remember too many of them being vocal about the cost of the shit-storm war we're in now. The only reason why they're vocal about healthcare reform is because they're bankrolled by the Healthcare Industry. I work in the Corporate Finance area of one of the largest healthcare companies in America and I see the uptick in political contributions and they are by and large towards Conservative/Republican leaning politicians.
The main thing he's done is start the dialog/trend of reform & trasparency. I definitely didn't expect him to accomplish much in his first or second year as our President considering the bitterness of the right wing fools who refuse to compromise and the cowardess of the left wing fools who can't figure out what they stand for. But like I said, at least he's making an effort. And I definitely don't believe that what he's proposing for our war situation is realistic since we can't just keep throwing soldiers out there to "stamp out terror," but I do agree that healthcare reform is needed if we want to get back on track economically. He proposed healthcare reform for a reason and admitted that it isn't a Cure-All, but that it was a big step in the right direction. He's making sure the bailiout money that he authorized to the banks is being paid back and that there will be steep penalties if they aren't.
I could go on, but I have to get back to work and make sure these donations are sent out.
