Small Tent Democrats
Once more, we see that a certain class of Democrat sees too many Democrats as a bad thing. Maybe if we just had more Dems hit the sticks talking about arugula prices as a proxy for farm policy? Naturally, I'm with NuDonk on this one.

Nick Lampson is one of Matt's 'Bush dog' democrats.
Considering whom he replaced, you would Dems like Matt would be a bit more appreciative. Consider that his voting indicates a liberal view in several areas, including the environment, public health, workers rights, minority rights & Affirmative Action, and education.
It looks pretty silly to label a Dem a "Bush dog" (a Bush voter) but then ask for help profiling their voting records.
I have no problem with posting a list of Dems who voted a certain way on a particular and encouraging people to write them, but this goes beyond that. It's confusing *your* interests (as an outsider) with those who elected the representative, for one.
There are some areas in which a progressive will not win, but a moderate Democrat can. Being able to distinguish a Thurmond or a Ralph Hall from a Nick Lampson isn't that hard.
Consider that on the other side, they're painting Lampson as a liberal.
