Face it, Corporations run this country and control the Senate, House and White House.

I hope this whole mess is some trick for Obama to slam in the Bill he wants at some point with a public option but it is looking more and more like the Insurance Companies won and we lost.

The GOP have to be laughing their asses off at us at this point. So much for their fear of a Democratic controlled Senate!

felt like that after a couple of losses in the battle to separate from England, we'd be British right now.

10. The fact that industry lobbyists have been in and out of the WH since Feb...

...while single payer advocates have received only lip service makes things pretty clear.

Of course, we've had other big red flags ~ the continuing bailout of the banks; the continuing support of the military industrial complex, INCLUDING Blackwater thugs; the refusal to hold war criminals accountable. As somebody else dared to declare last week, Imperial America is alive and well ~ in spite of our silver-tongued change candidate.
