A 'Blue Dog' is generally a Southern Democrat, who tends to straddle the fence on a lot of issues and leans heavily on the ideas of fiscal conservatism. Ironically, the last 8 years of absolute fiscal irreponsibility was totally acceptable to the GOP and said Blue Dogs until all of a sudden power changed hands in November.
The Republican stance on government is generally, "Government can't do anything competently! Just elect us, and we'll show you exactly why!" :P
I have a huge freaking Teabagger rally happening in my county on September 5th. I understand about 10,000 people are expected to be in attendance. Meanwhile, my little group of Democrats will be holding a press conference across the road from their rally point and trying to counter the stupidmisinformation with doctors and other speakers for the local press.
