Blue Dogs dig in as influential bloc in health care debate.

WASHINGTON -- In many ways, President Barack Obama's address to Congress on Wednesday was aimed at lawmakers like Georgia Reps. Jim Marshall and Sanford Bishop -- fiscally conservative Democrats who represent rural enclaves and small towns in ideologically moderate to conservative Southern districts.
Come again?
fiscally conservative
PLEASE!
Spare me another series of bloviations over the next two, or three, or four months about how your craven behavior is somehow about fiscal concerns.
IT ISN'T!
Anybody who's looked at the numbers knows that a robust public option is the best way (not having single-payer on the table) to bring costs down in the long-run and prevent health care from bankrupting the country.
Period!
And we all know it!
You're dithering because you want to aggrandize your ego.
You want to aggrandize your sense of power and entitlement.
You want to bank oodles of bribes from corporations.
You want to curry favor with insurance companies that you'll lobby for if you get thrown out of office.
So can it on the nonsense.
We've heard enough.
You're full of poop.
We all know it.
Quit dithering and vote!
