==111th Congress==
Blue Dogs like to consider themselves moderate or conservative that are independent of their liberal leadership. Their website states, “particularly active on fiscal issues, relentlessly pursuing a balanced budget and then protecting that achievement from politically popular ‘raids’ on the budget.” However, they increasingly vote with [[Nancy Pelosi]] on key fiscal policies, which is supposed to be their strong point. The [[Heritage Foundation]] and [[Human Events]] have compiled a list of the 16 top issues before the 111th Congress and scored the Blue Dogs on their votes. <ref>[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=32898&s=rcmc Blue Dog Dems Report Card Human Events, July 29, 2009]</ref> What they found was that the Blue Dog Coalition has voted in lockstep with ultra liberal Rep. [[Steny Hoyer]] 78% of the time.

==Block funding of [[Planned Parenthood]]==
The 2009 measure offered by Republican Mike Pence to stop taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions failed and funding was kept in place. Only 12 Blue Dogs voted with conservatives to remove funding. <ref>[http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll643.xml#Y%23Y FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 643 House.gov]</ref>
