The
CPUSA, aka democrats, won congress in 2006 when several Republican
seats went to democrats who campaigned to the right of the incumbent.
This year Republicans lost all three special elections, in
conservative bastions, to the same breed of cat. In case you joined me
in hoping these "Blue Dog" Democrats would serve to make Pelosi's
life miserable, forget it. I was right the first time - all elected Democrats are liars

Conservatives rationalized on May 13 when Republicans lost their third
consecutive special Congressional election, in the supposedly safe 1st
District of Mississippi. After all, they said, the victorious
Democratic candidate Travis Childers, sounded more conservative during
the campaign than his losing Republican candidate. He was a county
official, a good old boy who the voters figured would be an independent
conservative vote in the House as one of the Blue Dog Democrats.
But
once in Washington, he drank the Democratic leadership’s Kool Aid. In
the first 13 House roll calls contested along partisan lines after
Childers took his seat in Congress, he voted with the Democrats 12
times.
Childers fit right in with the Blue Dogs elected in
2006 to give Democrats control of the House after a dozen years of a
Republican majority. They won office by campaigning as independent
conservatives. But in the House starting in January 2007, they have
voted the Democratic line -- with no exceptions -- more than 80 percent
of the time. (Bob Novak continued)
