Do you trust your "Blue Dog" to make the right decision re: healthcare bill?
I am a citizen in Congressman Brad Ellsworth's district in Indiana, one of the so-called "Blue Dogs." I have read on his official website that he will not support any bill that allows for federal funding for abortions. I am praying to God that he will keep his word. I have some reason to hope as he voted "no" to the Destroy America's Energy and Security Act, I mean, American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (wouldn't officially calling it Cap and Trade have been easier? Anyway, I digress.)
Is there anyone else out there in Ellsworth's district who would care to share if you think we can trust him to vote this one down? And for anyone else in a "Blue Dog" district, do you trust your representative to make the right choice?
With regards to MY congressmen, notice that I said I have some reason for hope. That's different than saying I trust him at this point. I do, however, agree with your point.
I am in Jason Altmire's district and he is a so-called blue dog. I think he looks more like a Pelosi poodle. Altmire has had a big hand in writing this mess and deserves much of the blame when the treasury is bankrupt.
Blue dog my arse.

I'm not in Ellsworth's district, but if you actually trust a blue dog democrat, you've got issues.
I don't trust ANY of 'em, R or D or I.
Is that "issues" -- or "tissues" -- as in weeping for a nation betrayed across the board by our own "leaders"?

Blue Dogs replaced some mangy dogs in Congress, neither can be trusted blindly.
