Bad Health Care Bill + Compromise = CRAP
There. I said it. Got it out of my system. Am so sick of lame HC reforms and anything to do with Insurance Companies. This should not be about Insurance Companies. This should be ABOUT PEOPLE!

4. Democratic President and majority in both houses = NO FUCKING EXCUSE to not have REAL reform
Unless some of them aren't actually Democrats. It's time to demand resignation from these useless pieces of shit, or charge them with fraud, since they were elected under false pretenses.

Fuck the Republicans. Fuck blaming the Republicans. They're in the minority, so what they think should not fucking matter. The failure isn't Bitch McChinless or John Boner. The failure is the people who claim to be on our side and got in office with our votes, and our financial contributions, and then betrayed us.

It's time to call them on their fucking bullshit. We, the people will accept AT A BARE MINUMUM, no less than a true public option that is open to EVERYONE. Single Payer would be preferable in every way, but if you insist on allowing the criminal insurance industry to stay in business, then let them compete for it.

NO CORPORATE MANDATE WILL BE TOLERATED. :grr:

6. If this is the BEST the Democrats can do.....
it is because it is the best the Democrats WANT to do.
THIS is a completely DEMOCRATIC Bill.
It WILL contain what The Democrats WANT it to contain.

In 2008, The American People gave the Democrats:
The White House
The Senate
The House
AND a STRONG Mandate for CHANGE.

Dropping the Public Option is open admission that the Democratic Party no longer represents the Middle/Working Class of America, that Nader was indeed RIGHT about the Democratic Party.
It IS that simple.
Lieberman is no longer an excuse.
"Obstructionist Republicans" are no longer an excuse.

The responsibility for the betrayal of the Middle/Working Class lies squarely on the shoulders of the Democratic Party Leadership.


LESS than 35% of ALL Americans support Mandates without a Public Option.
Good luck selling this piece of shit to the American People.

"By their works you will know them."
