You have heard me railing about these people for a decade and FINALLY an article about it. ........Wednesday afternoon, the DCCC was asking people to sign petitions against Boehners Wall Street giveaway in the omnibus appropriations bill. They carefully neglected to mention that the most vile provisions are being pushed by, among others, the Finance Chair of the DCCC, Wall Street shill Jim Himes (New Dem-CT) and by most of the Blue Dogs and New Dems left in Congress-- including the ones who were defeated and are just hanging around the lame duck looking for K Street jobs. Weve written about how Himes and his fellow Wall Street shills have been working on this since last year. The House passed it October 30, 2013 292-122, 70 slime bags from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party joining the GOP to vote for it back then, including not just the Blue Dogs and New Dems who always support the Republicans over working families, but House party leaders like Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Jim Clyburn (D-SC), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Joe Crowley (D-NY) and purported progressives like Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Nita Lowey (D-NY), Grace Meng (D-NY), Gwen Moore (D-WI) and Charlie Rangel (D-NY). The provision is the work of former Blue Dog Blanche Lincoln, currently considered one of the slimiest lobbyists in DC. (Before she was reinvented as Senator Blanche Lincoln she was a low-life Blue Dog congresswoman, Blanche Lambert, who managed to get into office by beating an incumbent trapped in a bank scandal.) Of course, the DCCC doesnt care where the names and contact info for their petition come from-- that stuff is commoditized and monetized and has intrinsic value-- but it is funny that the Wall Street whores who still hold so much sway at the DCCC are using a Blue Dog/New Dem initiative-- killing Wall Street derivatives regulation-- against the Republicans who partnered with the Blue Dogs and New Dems to sneak it into the omnibus. crooksandliars/2014/12/time-democrats-bid-adieu-blue-dogs
