    Don't forget Obama's a Blue Dog

    From attacking universal health plans to proposing to leave up to 50,000 troops in Iraq, from trying outlaw most late-term abortions to voting for FISA and gutting the Constitution, this is not a progressive that we're voting for.

    This is the problem with the Democrats and even so-called liberals. When push comes to shove, they'd rather shut their eyes and vote what the media tells them to.
