The Republican "opposition" to Baucus's corporate welfare bill is as phony as a $3 bill.

The Republican "opposition" to Baucus's corporate welfare bill is as phony as a $3 bill.

It's a game that has been perfected by the corporate lobbyists, the GOP, and Baucus (without whom the GOP & Big Pharma would NEVER have passed Bush's Medicare Rx Drug "benefit" - - - - the fiasco that resulted in the unprecedented prescription drug price inflation of the last few years).

Why do we continue to allow these obstructionists to shape the debate, to shape the bills of OUR party, and transform "reform" into corporate welfare?

1. Because Democrats are chickenshits afraid of losing votes

It's unfortunate, but it's true. Hopefully, Obama will show more spine soon.

3. If they make intelligent moves and the country recovers from *, I will vote all the Dems back in.

They will need no corp. money or campaign money. I will vote all the Dems back in! No doubt they will win the votes of 70% of aware voters. The other 30% shouldn't be a concern, because as far as policy, they have no uncorrupted opinions.
