And there goes Markos under the bus.
Markos was this really wonderful guy here when he criticized Obama for not pushing harder on HCR. Now when Markos takes Kucinich to the carpet, Markos is called a tool, a corporatist and a shill for the insurance companies. Can these people be any more transparent here.

It's like when the Republicans latched on to Zell Miller. They've found one Democrat that will vote with them to kill reform and now they try to stomp on anyone who exposes the harm that will come from Kucinich's actions.

1. I am trying my best not to go" huh"? ...The very same people, the very same

who kneecap Obama, Rahm, any Democrat who agrees with the President.. most Democrats in general.. the ones who "scream" that you are trying to shut them up, if you confront them.. the very same ones, who are now attacking anyone who criticizes Kuch.

The very same ones who accuse any supporter of the President of being a "bot"..


Start passing out the mirrors .. honestly.. just pass out the mirrors.

8. It's incredible! Something we've been saying
and thinking for the last two days and it's been said right up there on tv by someone who actually cares about getting the best done for the People..and for all the Nation to hear.

It's a big reality check.

9. If anyone's a tool it's DK. His 'no' vote adds his name to
the part-of-the-problem crowd. I don't care how he slices and dices it, but if he were truly principled, he'd refuse taxpayer funded health insurance and pension plans to lead by example.

I don't think he's done that, has he? I guess he's only principled when he's not affected by it.

DK is part of the health care system problem and his 'no' vote proves it. I think he's a lot like Nader, backed by the same money interests as the once esteemed Nader, in order to chip away at the power of the Democrats in office.

I hope DK is voted out of office and a true progressive Democrat replaces him.

12. I'll be consistent - I think Kos is mostly a tool.
Sometimes, he's a useful one. But most of the time, he's about as useful as a wrench when you need a fire extinguisher.

14. He may be a tool but
he was the right one at the right time last night when he called dennis a little prick it was like hammer hits nail.

He should have added that he's a liar and a hypocrite too.

15. No doubt.
I just want to be consistent. This doesn't suddenly make Kos a good guy.

18. I was annoyed at Markos & Ed for being so overbearing on this issue
Now that they've decided that we need to pass this bill, suddenly they're not folk heroes any more.
