Howard Dean On Tax Deal: 'A Short-Term Washington Fix' Filled With Easy Promises

Sunday, December 12, 2010


I think you're confused. To begin with, you said "Actually, if you look at the voting records of Blue Dogs, they really are not RINOs". You mean DINOs. That's a small point, but it brings us to this: "Actually, if you look at the voting records of Blue Dogs, they really are not RINOs. I think Nelson has the worst with 60-some percent ... wait a minute ... okay, I checked. Lincoln voted with her Party 83.1%, Nelson was 67.7%, Landrieu 92.1%, Bayh 71.5%, Conrad 92.2% ... these are all considered Blue Dogs yet their voting records reflect a super majority (two-third­s) in voting for Democrat legislatio­n." Where are you "checking" their records? What votes are you talking about? How many years? On what votes? There are far fewer votes to assess of senators than congressme­n, and that's particular­ly true for the past 4 years. Very little has made it to the floor of the Senate. Then we're dealing with legislatio­n that is allowed to get to the floor because it will pass, already majorly compromise­d by Democrats to be Republican­-like, so, of course, Blanche Lincoln, et al, will be counted as "voted with her party" a high percentage of the time. The game has already been rigged. Do you know what the DLC is and who is in it?
