1) A BlueDog/DINO does not recognize the necessity of unions and will compromise the needs and concerns of workers for both regional and global commerce.

2) A BlueDog/DINO will blur the line in the sand in regards to a woman's absolute control of her reproductive rights.

3) A BlueDog/DINO will confuse the responsibilities of a democratic system with that of capitalism. That is, they buy into the notion that government should be run like a business. (And why no expectation that businesses should be run democratically?)

4) A BlueDog/DINO believes in the "pull oneself up by oneself bootstraps" mentality without recognizing or admitting that a capitalist society is a competitive society and, as in all competitions, there will be losers. The system itself ensures that there will be losers but, unlike a footrace, the losers aren't compelled to live ill-housed, ill-clothed, ill-fed, and/or just plain ill.
