WASHINGTON (AP) - 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.

A spokeswoman for the Blue Dog caucus did not immediately respond to an e-mail request for comment.

Nice goin, Pete.  BTW--this is the same assclown who left a voicemail on a Iraq vet's voicemail calling him a phony soldier, etc...

HI,

Beck made a great point tonight.  The democrat party whe used to know does not exist anymore.  The party has been hijacked by radicals, extremists, revolutionaries etc.  They hve basically taken over the party and many democrats have not figured it out just yet.  I think many have however which is why independents are not the largest group.

regards,
