W00t! FDL leading the way once again.
Oh, my.
Next Week: FDL probe orbits Jupiter, finds life!
well, maybe that’s taking it a little far
We heard all the promises in the 2008 election buildup. There is nothing left but apologies and appeasement. They are still talking about compromise in Washington. How much more compromising? Public option was a compromise from single payer. Obama makes the pharmaceuticals a PARTNER! Most have paid fines for CRIMINAL FRAUD! Until they are brought to their knees real health care reform is a pipe dream. They and the insurers have the most to lose. Other than the American people. We have such lame voices opposing them it is pitiful. Screaming and stupidity works for them. At least try a little screaming for our benefit! With Congress, the RNC and the DNC being bribed by the health care industry, we are F’d.
P.S. Please passthis on to Brunner and Fisher
Don’t you people get it…There will be no Gov’t run public option for you folks to live off…
