Ad Campaign: Netroots Turns Its Sights From Obama To The GOP

Thursday, January 20, 2011


 Again, Wendell Potter was on Olbermann last night defending Obamacare. 

He was tra/shing Republican­s for trying to repeal it. 

Was Potter wrong last night, Marco?

==========­==========­==========­==========­=====

Up until a few weeks before Obama's legislatio­n passed, Potter (and Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann, and Howard Dean, and the Liberal Caucus in the House, and others) were against Obama's legislatio­n without a public option.  Emphatical­ly.  For well-expla­ined and well-reaso­ned reasons.

And then, and almost at the same time, they all, unethusias­tically weren't. 

Nothing had changed about the legislatio­n.  All that had changed was that nothing was going to change about the legislatio­n and that the powers that be were going to pass it.  So, "you'd better erase that line in the sand that you've drawn".

That's the answer to your question.  These people want to remain relevant, with jobs to talk on the issues, even if they choke when it comes to actually getting for the People what the People have voted for.

Democrats are doing nothing to make it good legislatio­n.  You like that.  You like that because you're a Iobbyist for the insurance industry.  You've already tried defending their failure to push for a public option -- You don't want one.
