When we tossed out all the Blue Dogs, we gave the Republicans unending "investigative" Congressional power.

Perfect example for me. Alabama Blue Dog Rep. Bobby Bright. Wouldn't throw Democrats a bone - never voted Democratic on any important policy or Obama proposal. Not one bone!

What's the difference then if a Republican took his place?

Well, seeing his replacement on the Benghazi Committee. Really brings it home! Martha "Why Are You Laughing?" Roby.

If we had turned out for those Blue Dogs, we'd be in a different world today.

Another realization that to have the power, you have to get elected.
