Surprise! Blue Dogs running for Cover!
Blue Dog: “Start Over on Health Care Reform”
More and more conservative Democrats are running for cover in regards to the health-care debate. Some ‘blue dogs‘ are now openly expressing to the media that the Democrats should start over completely in regards to health-care… Wow, what a change from a week ago when those who were attending town hall meetings were nothing more than Insurance company operatives.
An excerpt from CNN explains below…
PERRY, Florida (CNN) – Acknowledging his amazement at the crowds gathered to debate health care at his town halls, Rep. Allen Boyd, D-Florida, faced three large gatherings on Monday with many questioners voicing skepticism about the proposals being debated in Washington.
“Never have I had this attendance … that is a good thing,” Boyd said as he started his third event of the day.
Boyd, in his seventh term, represents a conservative area in northern Florida. A fiscal conservative, he is part of the group of House Democrats known as the Blue Dogs.
At the first event of the day in Cross City, he held up a copy of the bill passed by the Energy and Commerce Committee and embraced by the congressional leadership.
“I cannot support this bill in the version it is in now,” he said. “We can do better. We can make it better.”
Hmmm… I guess those crazy right wingers who don’t represent the ‘true’ American population (According to Rep. Spector and other Liberals) might have something to do with this…
It seems the winds of change are in the air.
