Repeating the 90's - secret healthcare discussions allow the industry & MSM to misrepresent freely

I thought we had learned from that mistake. The first wave of scare tactic advertising is getting ready to unroll. Transparency in these discussions is paramount to passing a good plan. The Baucus panel should be on C-Span every day. What is it that they cannot express in front of American citizens?

4. No way, Jose. That's the ruse. The moderate right will be allowed for awhile before...

...the real, big $, far right-wing power that OWNS this country provides the next series of orchestrations (already underway) used to bring the flock back into demanding and supporting "Strong Leaders" (fascists) to protect them. There isn't a Left in mainstream American politics.

When we get a dem admin, it's always a corporatist, moderate right-wing version, strategically, repeatedly referred to as "liberal" as a means of disinformation via "perception management," and is merely the shadow govt's way of tossing a bone of sorts to The People ...it's basically illusory, w/o much substance, but since people, one, enjoy the 'game' of politics, and two, want to believe propaganda over reality, they cling to illusion despite the astonishing amount of evidence to the contrary.

3. They're afraid single-payer advocates might sneak in and disrupt the harmony

And we can't have that, can we?
