Republicans & Blue Dogs Are OK With Helping Banksters But Balk At Helping Homeowners
From DownWithTyranny:

"As Rush Limbaugh and his devotees in the Grand Obstructionist Party-- newest on the list is Indiana's most extremist kook, Mike Pence-- stick pins in Obama dolls and pray that he fail, the President's job approval rating with real Americans has continues to skyrocket. At the same time that Republican disarray and their circular firing squad is confirming in the minds of most Americans that they were right to cast them out of government, the Republicans-- along with corporate shills like Ellen Tauscher and their treacherous Blue Dog allies-- are seeking to further undermine social cohesion for narrow partisan gain. When I woke this morning, CNN was broadcasting some chilling new statistics: one in five mortgages are underwater. That represents 8.3 million homes. Obama and most congressional Democrats are moving quickly to staunch the flow of blood. But reactionaries-- more concerned with the vile banksters and Wall Street speculators who brought on this crisis than with their own constituents or even the nation-- are threatening to obstruct and filibuster every step of the way. Remember when there was talk of right-wing Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh being Obama's VP nominee? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123612545277023901.html]Now Bayh is positioning himself as a proto-Republican in the battle against working families."

Blue Dogs are not "moderates" folks....they're dyed in the wool reactionaries.
