Blue Dogs' Fundraising Plummets »
Posted By jovial 3 weeks, 1 day ago in Political News
Think tank study finds blue dog funding has dried up, with only right wing groups still funding them. Efforts to punish bluedog Democrats by witholding funding are working big-time. Not only are bloggers and progressives witholding support from Democrats who have spoken out against public option or single payer, but PACs are holding back.

"It's official. The Blue Dog's fundraising slowdown was not just a symptom of the dog days of summer. Newly released public disclosure forms indicate that over September, the coalition's PAC took in its smallest monthly total yet this year."-

We shouldn't forget that the recent "blue dog" election "successes" were a result of Rahm Emanuel eliminating local anti-war candidates and that both the "blue dogs" and the "New Democrats" (mentioned in the article) are creations/allies of the misnamed zionist organization called the "Democratic Leadership Organization". All of them should be retired from our political scene.

I've noticed recently that Heath Shuler, my congressman here in NC, is keeping a slightly lower profile in his "blue dog" activities. While he's making some of his constituency here happy, the majority are not happy with him at all. He was elected as a Democrat, not as a Democrat with an agenda to undermine his contemporaries. His first term was a good one, but since being reelected last year, he's gone off on his own, and his opposition in the voting public is pretty strong. I don't know if a Republican will replace him or if another Democrat will challenge him, but I doubt he'll see a 3rd term here.

Personally, he lost my vote the moment I learned he was a part of the "family"....I'll vote for a Republican before I vote for him again..let alone write a check to support his reelection campaign.
