There are four kinds of Democrats in Congress
A tiny minority are passionate progressives, who mostly try to do the right thing.
A substantial portion are conservatives, as evidenced by the Blue, or Bush, Dogs. They openly and enthusiastically support Bush policies.
In the leadership, we have Establishment types, who not only go along to get along, they go along because they want to, all the while trying to appear progressive, mouthing platitudes at the base while deceitfully planning to stab them in the back.
The rest are frightened, greedy idiots afraid of their own shadows, who do what they are told in order to keep their seats.
Blue Dogs, Establishment, and greedy idiots combine to betray the base and the country every chance they get.
