Yes they did, kind of the price you pay when you abandon the fiscal responsibility train and hook your wagon to the Pelosi and Reid socialism express. Very few districts actually want someone that extreme so they paid the price for abandoning those principals.

It looks like the only ones getting "nailed" around here are boys by Republicans...

The internal shame these guys must feel is just sad to me...

Yes, but the thing is - they WEREN'T extrem. That rather puts lie to the claim that the Democrats moved to far to the left for them. They did not lose their seats because of the Democratic Party but because they only held those seats by virtue of being conservative Democrats and when the tide turned against the Dems this time around, those seats were easy pickings for the Republicans.

Not me. I just want to point my finger and laugh hysterically. Then maybe I'll feel a little sad.

No, they moved themselves to the far left and that's what got them voted out. If they had rtemained steadfast blue dogs they would still be employed. Why do you think the tide turned against the dems so quickly?

The Blue Dogs didn't move to the far left - they stuck to their positions - what are you talking about?

The Dems are worse when it comes to having sex with children...

Look at what Obama, Pelosi, and Reid have done in the last two years...They've not only successfully fuc*ed everyone under the age of 15, they've also fuc*ed millions of children that haven't even been born yet...
