(6,994 posts)are all owned by the corporations. When are we as progressives going to get serious and start a true progressive political party?Until we do and move these Republicrats aside,we have no reason to complain.
This BS happen with the healthcare bill. It was not what we wanted ,or what Obama said he would fight for. But it was a subsidy for the health insurance companies and we accepted it and liked it even though it was nothing more than a "bragging rights" bill.
During the campaign Obama said "As long as I am President Social Security will not be cut".He did say all the "pork" in Medicare would be eliminated to save money, but now that he is elected he is just another corporate shill.
So aren't we growing tired of this BS.
Progressive Party Folks...we need to organize now
Just switching to an Independent changes nothing. We need a real progressive party and elect candidates that will kick ass. If things continue down the political path we on now, I really believe corporate politicians will push us all into a poverished nation and my grandchildren will not know about freedoms given to us by our founders.
