Sounds like the "Blue Dogs" are the best government that money can buy. Not exactly. Most of the contributions listed here went to the campaign committees of the two houses of congress. The one representative I know something about, Sheila Jackson Lee, who, I think is from the Houston area, is probably a progressive/liberal on most healthcare issues. I've never seen her listed as a Blue Dog. In fact, her most visible caucus activity is with the African American caucus. Complicated. As "they" say.
