Dem Congressman Calls Blue Dogs "Braindead"

Apparently this is what some people think about Gene Taylor.

A key House liberal suggested Thursday that party moderates who've pushed for changes in health care legislation are "brain dead" and out for insurance company campaign donations.

Moderate Blue Dog Democrats "just want to cause trouble," said Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., who heads the health subcommittee on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.

"They're for the most part, I hate to say, brain dead, but they're just looking to raise money from insurance companies and promote a right-wing agenda that is not really very useful in this whole process," Stark told reporters on a conference call.

Right, Gene Taylor loves insurance companies. I'm sure people believe that. It could be, just maybe, that most Americans oppose this health care plan. Most Republicans, yes. Most independents, yes. Many Democrats, including some like Gene Taylor. For liberals, you must be either "brain dead" or profiting from insurance companies if you oppose them. That shows how out of the mainstream they are.
