Pelosi and Blue Dog Dems Not on Speaking Terms…
Heartache.
(The Hill) — There’s been “no communication” this Congress between House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and members of the centrist Blue Dog Coalition, one of its top members said Monday.
Rep. Heath Shuler (N.C.), who challenged Pelosi for the job of Democratic leader in the 112th Congress, suggested that Blue Dog Democrats feel shut out from the leadership in the House.
“There has really been no communication whatsoever,” Shuler told MSNBC. “We still do not have any connection between the Blue Dogs and leadership.”
In perhaps the ultimate rebuke to the Democratic leader, Shuler said Blue Dog Democrats often have more in common ideologically with former President Ronald Reagan than with Pelosi. What would have been Reagan’s 100th birthday prompted remembrances over the weekend.

What Shuler doesn’t realize is being on non speaking terms with Pelosi is a good thing.
she shouldn’t feel bad…. no one likes communists….
except maybe other communists…
Welcome to the world under the bus.
They’ll be back in no time voting with her against R reforms, investigation of corruption, and they will protect Zero at all costs–as they have already.
These days, being a Den means being a Communist, one way or another.
The so-called Blue Dog Democrats are a fraud. When push came to shove they went along and voted for healthcare and every thing their more communist fellow Democrats voted for. Any real conservative who thinks the Blue Dogs are conservatives is a fool. They are more like “Moderate Communists.” To hell with the phonies.
The message seems quite clear, if the the blue dogs don’t tow the line of the liberal lefts agenda then they get ignored or even marginalized. Of course that is a monumental mistake, if it is what it appears to be. These blue dogs still have the vote in congress just like the left does.
The trauma of the November vote is no doubt weighing heavily in the halls of the capital among Democrats after January 5th.
It is time for these blue dogs to go back and ask their constituencies whether they should consider moving over to the Republican side, after all there is a mass exodus of Democratic legislatures moving away from the tax and spend liberal democrats all across the Southern States.
Reagan sure has been getting slammed a lot lately. First Obama loves him, and now the Blue Dogs? Someone said it best, to them the only good conservative is a dead conservative.
I guess they got tired of her barking orders at them or they’ve come to their senses and really do care about America?
IF.. they really care about America, they could change parties. (Want to bet on that happening?)
She looks like she’s gonna puke.
Just for the record if your going to make statements make correct ones-it makes all Conservatives look stupid & dilutes our message when you make these inaccurate sweeping statements. NOT all Blue Dogs did vote for Obamacare- as a matter of fact not one single Senator or Congressman from the State of AL did & half of them are or were at time Democrats.
That’s one damn ugly bitch!
