8. Or more descriptively "CORPORATISTS"!
Edited on Fri Jul-24-09 02:20 PM by cascadiance
That's what both the Republicans and these Blue Dogs are, and it is that coalition of *corporatists* that are screwing over America in favor of their "corporate person" constituents!

We need to take out the money representation in politics and put back people representation! Health care IS the issue to mobilize most of the people to start the battle that will still be needing to be fought even if we can get some reasonable health care legislation (or perhaps insufficient health care legislation) through the congress.

The health care legislation efforts and the difficulty we've faced against ANTI-People representation DINOs and Republicans should be used as the campaign rallying cry for the ultimate need and goal of putting in place public campaign financing to get rid of the institutionalized bribery system we have in place now and all of the criminals that have been empowered and put in place by this mafia-style mess.
