As the Obama Administration and Democrats wrangled over healthcare overhaul efforts during the first half of the year, the Democratic Party’s Blue Dog political action committee was receiving more than half of its $1.1 million in campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical, healthcare and health insurance industries, according to watchdog organizations.
The amount outstrips contributions to other congressional political action committees during the same period, according to an analysis by the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit watchdog organization. The Blue Dogs, a group of fiscally conservative lawmakers that includes Georgia Rep. Sanford Bishop of Albany, successfully delayed the votes on healthcare overhaul proposals until the fall.
