"A blue dog, you know, is the opposite of a yellow dog. And a yellow dog was somebody who was willing to follow his party even when he knew it was wrong"
- Mike Thompson
About this Quote
This quote by Mike Thompson is describing the idea of political celebration commitment. A "yellow canine" is somebody who is blindly faithful to their political celebration, even when they understand that their celebration is wrong. This remains in contrast to a "blue pet", which is someone who is willing to go against their party when they know it is wrong. This quote is stressing the significance of being able to think for oneself and make choices based upon what is right, rather than just following the celebration line. It is a suggestion that we ought to not be afraid to defend what our company believe in, even if it implies breaking our own party. In the end, it is important to make decisions based upon what is right, rather than merely following the party line.
