This afternoon, the Democratic Blue Dog Coalition announced their endorsement of Don Cravins, Jr. for Congress. Blue Dog Coalition Co-Chair Mike Ross, (D-AR) stated:

"It is clear that Don Cravins shares our commitment to restoring fiscal discipline and commonsense to the federal government, and we are proud to offer him our endorsement today."

I'm glad to see Rep. Ross using the term fiscal discipline rather than fiscal conservative. The Democrats are the party of fiscal discipline ... after all, Democrats believe in paying as you go, whereas the Republicans (believers of fiscal conservativism) want to starve government of the funds necessary to fund programs like Social Security, Medicare, and SCHIP, so that we have run deficits to fund them ... like we have for the past 8 years.

Today - July 31st - is also Don Cravins, Jr's birthday. His 36th. If you can, send $36 to help him celebrate in the upper left corner, or here.
