Aw, poor babies:
Centrist Democrats have had “no communication” with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi since the start of the 112th Congress, one of the leaders of the Blue Dog Coalition said Monday.
Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), who challenged Pelosi for the leadership spot, said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “there’s been really no communication whatsoever” between his group and the California Democrat. “We still have not had the connection between the Blue Dog members and the leadership.”
Gee, after Blue Dogs helped hold health care reform hostage and ran (largely unsuccessfully) against President Obama in the last midterm, why would the Democratic Party leadership want to listen to their whining?
Oh, because Blue Dogs represent most of America, according to Shuler:
“I think the Blue Dogs represent 80 percent of America. You look at the political structure on both sides — they only represent 10 percent on each side of the American people. Blue Dogs represent 80 percent of America.”
Yeah, that's why Americans voted them out of office in the last midterm. Sheesh.
