There's no trust in this relationship

Slate's Timothy Noah is saying liberals should be worried about the status of health care reform because of the so-called "Conservative Democrats".  They should call them Con-Dems, because all they do is get in the way.


 Representative Bart Stupak (D-Michigan)
 "Mr. Stupak is prepared to block passage of the health care overhaul." - NY Times

By the way, do you know the etymology of the word scumbag

"scumbag [ˈskʌmˌbæg]
Slang an offensive or despicable person
[perhaps from earlier US sense: condom, from US slang scum semen + bag]" - Collins English Dictionary

Example:
"After his younger son committed suicide in 2000, using the congressman’s gun, Mr. Stupak soon resumed his predawn commute to Washington and his solid voting record with the National Rifle Association."- NY Times
