Where oh where are the Blue Dog pollsters? (Update)
In my opinion, something is not right with the media in relationship to the Healthcare Reform bill that is sucking the oxygen out of America.
Long story short, I am hearing the *Blue Dog Democrats are the bad guys, the obstructionist of the bill if you will, and they have been named and identified. Well and good but what I am not hearing or seeing are poll results from their individual states. I am not hearing the poll percentage of how many citizens of the obstructionist’s state favor Pres. Obama or how many are on welfare with no medical insurance or how many have died with no insurance or even how many of them do or do not agree with the decision of their Blue Dog Congressman to not vote for the Healthcare Bill, etc. Nothing! Nothing regarding the mood of the identified obstructionist’s individual strengths nor weaknesses amongst his constituents regarding his stance on the Healthcare Reform bill. Where oh where are the pollsters??
I can not be clearer as to what I am not hearing. I want to hear what the Blue Dog’s constituents are hearing. It can not be the same thing I am hearing. What are the editorials and Op-ed pieces written in their local newspapers reporting? If this information were available, I may agree with the Blue Dog obstructionist the bill should not be supported but I can not make that decision without hearing the other side from the villagers themselves of that Blue Dog‘s state via a comprehensive and reliable poll. Do they have their lanterns and pitchforks out? If so, for whom? Do they know what their representative is doing? Do they care?? I wonder as I wander.
- (Blue Dog #1) Sid?
-Yes?
-This is Blue Dog #1 and I want to tell you that you have asked me to make a hell of a sacrifice. My career is on the line.
-What do you mean (You pitiful little bastard)?
- What do I mean? I mean you have asked me not to vote for the Healthcare Bill and my people are getting very angry with me, I tell you!
-Well, what can they do about it?
-They can not re-elect me, that’s what they can do about it!
-Is that all that’s bothering you (You crazy ass)?
-How will I manage without a job?
-How no fear, Blue Dog #1 because we are making plans to have all of you Blue Dogs go to either Alaska or South Carolina to be in the local and state politics there. We take care of our own. You can argue amongst yourselves which state you want to go to.
-What about Texas?
-Sure! We can put Texas in the mix.
-Then what about Washington, D.C.?
-Washington, D.C. is out. (Don’t push your luck, you dipstick! If you clowns come back here to Washington we may see the first lynching of a white man in the history of the city!)
-As long as you are aware of the risk we are taking, that’s find. I gotta go now to call Blue Dog #2 to tell him the good news.
-Tell him and the rest of the Blue Dogs we got their backs (You miserable scumbag)! Bye. (Just talking to you makes me want to vomit!)
As always,

P.S. While writing this blog I saw the Rachel Maddow Show wherein she corrected some “mis-speaks” uttered by Pat Buchanan on an earlier show.
