The Washington office just said they would pass the info on. The Murfreesboro office took my name, address, etc. I asked if they had received a lot of calls and she said yes. I call/email Gordon on all the big votes, and he NEVER votes conservatively. I don't think he gives a darn what Tennesseans think. It is so frustrating. I can't wait to vote against him! He actually has a republican opponent this time, so this election should not be another cake walk for him. He sends me his emails all the time. I am really sick of the "This is why I voted the opposite way than what you wanted" emails. The man has no shame! Bart Gordon’s Washington office and his Murfreesboro office yesterday.

I think that it is perfectly acceptable from others in the state of these dead dog democrats to call them, even if they are NOT in their district, per se. Have at it, Red State Activists! P.S. Tennesseans - you might also want to call your schizophrenic senator (Alexander) and voice your displeasure at his support for Judge Empathy - er - Sotamayor, especially given her views on the Second Amendment. Good luck getting through, though.

If universal coverage goes thru, I'm going to lose that money anyways. Might as well spend it now and tell the government, "what money ?" when they come asking for more to bail themselves out of government healthcare.

In which case they are not really Judases, as Mr. Erickson writes: just typical Democrats. Remember that Democrats are first loyal to their ideology stating that America is a fat, greedy, unfair, uncaring, racist, and even genocidal country, which is so broken that only radical measures can fix it, and which deserves all the hatred of the rest of the world for leeching wealth away from it. They believe we have to be taught a lesson, and the lesson is starting with the War On Business: the demonization of insurance companies and doctors is not unlike the Russian Communist demonization of independent and (therefore) prosperous farmers known as kulaks. Things did not end well for the kulaks! Things will not go that far here with doctors and insurance companies, but we see that small businesses are already targeted in various ways for a good whipping. Other groups will get their comeuppance soon enough! And will Blue Dogs stand on conservative principles to stop any of this? No: they have not done so yet! They have rolled over and played dead. They are NOT conservatives and cannot be trusted to be anything other than Democrats!

Sadly, it probably did not take too much arm twisting by the White House (Rahm Emanuel, et.al.) and the House leadership. The logo for these guys should be an in the flipping hamburger that is to be served to the highest bidder. The DNC is usually the winner for these types. Hopefully their districts are informed enough to oust these "fiscal conservatives." Grrr!
