Boehner-Led Group Will Defend DOMA In Court

Friday, March 4, 2011


There is no doubt that Republican­s are scvm.  None.  

But Democrats aren't any better.  Those who believe they are, mistake words for action.  The proof is not in what politician­s say, but what they do.  And on every issue, Democrats have been absent or playing with their food.  Pushing it around the plate to make it look as if they're eating (working on our issues), but in fact they work in tandem with Republican­s on behalf of Corporatio­ns' interests and not the People's.

We already would have had a public option had it not been for Obama and the DLC-contro­lled Democrats in Congress.  

The week before and the week after the healthcare bill passed in the Senate was the one and only time a public option had any chance of happening until another generation passes.

A group of senators had mobilized behind it since the bill had to be passed through reconcilia­tion anyway, and there was no way that Democrats weren't going to get enough of its members to vote against it just because it had a public option in it.

Obama nixxed it.

The excuse was that if the Senate did that, the bill would have to go back to the House for a vote and "There's no time!"

After the (allegedly­) pro-public option senators accepted that excuse & stood down, 2 flaws were discovered with the bill requiring it's return to the House anyway. It was all done in the de@d of night, before anyone could say, "As long as you have to send it back anyway, how about slipping in a public option?"  

Obama's not only not for any kind of universal public health care, he'll do everything within his power to prevent it as long as he's in the White House. Because that was the deal that he made with Big Insurance and PhRma.
