Senator McCain recently said Blue Dog Democrats bark but they don't bite. Apparently, they are also good at rolling over and playing dead.
They come from moderate districts and ran as moderates. When legislation is proposed that they know their constituents will not support, they fuss and protest a little. Then they let someone twist their arm and convince them the legislation is really alright. After their token protests they are offered and accept special projects for the area they represent. They go home and proudly present these special offerings to their voters. It's like a cat that catches a juicy fat rat and lays it on your doorstep waiting for you to praise it. In the end though, it's still just a dead rat.
Signed,
The Electorate
