Conservative Democrats who call themselves Blue Dogs are really yellow-belly, sappy suckers who do not represent the majority of their constituents. They only care about themselves and getting re-elected. We need more progressives.

Conservative Democrats are the same as Republicans -- they vote to help make the rich richer and put average working Americans at a disadvantage. We need more progressives in congress.

[freakylocz14]

We need Ron Paul in the White House.

She's a real embarrassment for American government.

Stay away from Obama if you want to be reelected..."

Yeah. Look at how well doing the opposite of what the voters wanted worked for the Republicans in 2006 and 2008.

I mean, how can Blue dogs win with only 72% of the vote?

The millions in campaign funds sure couldn't be a factor.

[VirginianAmerican]

Obama is a sinking ship.

Blue Dogs want to be reelected next time.

Stay away from Obama if you want to be reelected...

The bottom line is that is idiocy for Waters to think everyone in the nation should think the way she does. Things are different in many parts of the country. My district is filled with Catholic, blue-collar voters. Any Congressman we have had was either a moderate Democrat or a Republican. An ultra-left candidate has about as much chance of winning as the Chicago Cubs do of winning the World Series.

whiteking, you dont know what you are talking about. speculation and the whim of the oil companies can change the price of a barrell at will, and they do. there is no reason for the price to go up when demand is down. no one is buying so there is a budget shortfall through decreased tax revenue across the nation. we have oil through a fluke find in oil city pennsylvania. stop loving your captor, thats stockholm syndrome. OPEC is a toothless diversionary tool of the oil industry

Nationlization of oil would make matters worse. The reason for high gas prices isn't the greed of CEOs, it's because taxes on oil are constantly getting raised. This country became great because of free enterprise. I will remind you a big reason we have oil is because companies were bold enough to take the risks and spend the money to explore potential oil wells. It's only fair they should reap the rewards. This isn't Venezuela, America isn't run at the whims of some socialist dictator.
