Nov 07 Let Sleeping Blue Dogs

The old quote is to "let sleeping dogs lie," which means that some folks are best left uninformed of what is going on about them. I'm wondering if this adage applies to the Blue Dogs in Congress.  Surely this should not be the case for those we elect to be ever-vigilant of our liberties and best interests, yet that seems to be the approach Democrat leadership in Washington is taking.  Not only have they broken their promises (surprise, surprise) to post bills publicly even a scant 72 hours before any vote, they have actively  surpressed information about it, keeping the Blue Dogs asleep and letting them lie about what is in the bill.  They hope to keep Congress and the American people asleep, too, while they foist this mountain of toxic waste upon us. 

So the questions become:  1) Is it better for the Blue Dogs, and any Democrat with a lick of common sense-- however dismaying the estimation of that small number may be-- to remain willfully ignorant and promote the lie than to actively invite the fierce retribution of SOTH (or maybe Sith) Pelosi AND, most likely, your constituents, OR 2) Is it better to hold your vote until you can explain the nasty reality of the bill to your constituents and thus defend your NO vote, and your seat?   Whatever Democrats decide, and we'll know shortly, it is in the interest of the nation at large to put this off as long as possible, until everyone, including Congress, the Democrat leadership and Obama himself, recognize that this thing should be shot, strangled, have a stake driven through its heart and buried double deep, face down.
