Reps. Kissell and Shuler Show Their True Colors

Reps. Larry Kissell and Heath Shuler of North Carolina showed their true colors, and it sure as hell wasn’t blue. These two lap dogs jumped into Pelosi’s purse when the votes to repeal Obamacare came up today. Sure, they voted against this monstrosity last year, when they weren’t needed. It was a cynical attempt to persuade their conservative constituents, that they were independent of their lords and masters in the leadership. And they gambled correctly.

Heath Shuler ran against the queen of mean for the party’s leadership. He lost miserably. Now, he’s trying to get back into Nancy’s good graces. Kissell on the other hand took a different approach. He became the regional whip. In other words he is the Sheriff of Nottingham in the southeast.

They say that a leopard can’t change his spots; well a blue dog just changed his colors.
