Health care reform! Hahahahahaha

[salinen]

No F'in way. On the other side of this we will have learned a few realities.

Reality 1: Our representatives are not "our" representatives. But we know who they do represent.
Reality 2: Centrist Democrats are Republicans.
Reality 3: If the lowly gun manufacturers can influence huge policy in Washington, why would we think that we could go up against HMO's, big pharma, lobbyists, and everyone else who benefits from denying decent affordable health care?
Reality 4: Capitalism is the religion of destruction. Inhuman and non-environmental. Profit is beyond any other virtue.
Reality 5: Fuck the Dems. The party of Kucinich and Saunders must be the new direction for real progression.
Reality 6: The republicans are seriously corrupt and should be considered enemies.
Reality 7: The republicans will continue to use violence as a political tool. It works. Paid operatives from the party with all the cash.
Reality 8: Get ready for a wave of people foreclosing on their health care. Too expensive.
Reality 9: The CEO's of HMO's will rake it in with gusto. This will benefit Farrarri & yacht dealerships.
Reality 10: SPACE FOR YOUR REALITY. PLEASE COMMENT.

Have a wonderful day!

1. Dennis Kucinich belongs to the Democratic Party. NT

[NashVegas]

2. And Bernie Is Sanders

And does the OP know their avatar looks like a green, downward phallus?

[salinen]

5. Yeah

But I don't have 3 nuts. Wait, lemme check.

[salinen]

4. The progressive wing

A true minority.

[Dawgs]

3. So, you've quit because a few Dems are influenced by corporations.

I feel sorry for you.

The 50 or so progressives in the Senate, and 200+ progressives in the House will continue to fight.

[salinen]

6. You find 50 progressive Senators

and 200+ in the house? You are as optimistic as I am pessimistic.

[salguine]

11. Are you joking!? "A Few"? I can name maybe five that AREN'T influenced by

corporations. And incidentally, it's not influence—it's outright ownership.

I wish to God we DID have 250 genuine progressives in Congress.

7. First one today. Congrats.

I'll toss it on the pile of ten thousand other angry, empty rants.

[salinen]

10. O.K. I'm angry

we'll see about the empty part later.

[lunatica]

8. Turn Beck off and back away from your TV

I know how you feel, but at the end of the day it's better to fight the good fight and lose than fight the evil one and win. Little comfort I know, but the day will come when the giants will fail out of hubris and bloat and we need to keep fighting till it does. Human history has always been about this, and in hind sight our side has been winning slowly.

9. Thanks

We must wait until they self destruct. I'm depressed all over again.

[Echo In Light]

12. Even when the inevitable can no longer be danced around, there'll still be those applauding wildly

[lunatica]

15. A wise man once said to me

If you think little things don't make a difference you've never been in bed with a mosquito buzzing around.

Just remember we're on the right side. Obama didn't become President because they let him. Remember that. We count.
