McIntyre drops last shred of "Blue Dog" image

Ever since his first election to Congress, Mike McIntyre has tried hard to convince the voters he was a "conservative" a "Blue Dog". He was successful, as long as the Democrats were not in power in Congress. But that all changed when the Democrats won the majority in 2006.

The first indication that his image was slipping was when he voted to make ultraliberal Nancy Pelosi the Speaker of the House. He has followed that with many votes with the liberals against the conservative principles of the voters in district 7.

He has finally shown his true colors by endorsing Obama for President and calling for the Democrat Party to "unify".

The story, as reported by WWAY TV3 generated the following comments:

I have voted for McIntyre every time since his second election. I have appreciated his support for the military and the Second Amendment.

His recent rantings against oil companies made me start to wonder if he was jumping on the nutjob left-wing bandwagon, and his announced support for Obama leaves little doubt in my mind. He wants a committee chairmanship, and will not get it without towing Pelosi's line.

Hopefully many others will send Mcintyre a goodbye message by NOT voting for him in November. It will take every one of us, because the entire Western half of District 7 is occupied by societal sponges with their hands out collecting TANF, food stamps, Medicaid, and every other program YOUR tax dollars fund.
