The bottom line is it is never a good thing when both houses of Congress and the White House are dominated by the same party.

Blue Dog Democrats and the healthcare bill?

You mean you think this is any different than when they complained the stimulus was too expensive until they lopped off a whopping 6%?

The whole point is that the people are speaking out and Congress can ignore them at their own peril. That usually is enough to make them stand against the president.

That's where the anger comes in.

It would appear that 'some' politicos see the perilous path they are treading and fear for there future jobs.

After the stimulous, the cash for clunkers, and now the public display of disapproval they should think twice.
