I love the guys at Democrats.com because they will not settle for half-baked, warmed over, faux bipartisan, so-far-toward-the-center-it’s-now-on-the-right bullshit being served up by the Blue Dogs and too many others.

Here’s the Dishonor Roll of Democrats who betrayed the people:

Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.).

Send the Democrats back to 1994
