<snip> Dennis Kucinich:Our whole economy is being organized in a way that takes the wealth of the nation and sends it right to the top. And this health care bill is no different. And we’ve got to fight back, and that’s why I could not vote for this. If we were able to get a single payer—to protect the right of states to have a single-payer plan, maybe the bill would have been worth voting for. But that was taken out. So what are we left with? Private, for-profit health insurance, with the government subsidizing it.

---hmmmm so we are subsidizing the millionaire sociopaths. I guess the over 200 congress critters who are millionaires really know how to fuck us so that we don't even know we been fucked.

<snip> Dennis Kucinich:Well, my amendment passed in the Education and Labor Committee, and it would have protected the right of states to pursue single payer by granting states a waiver from what is known as the Employment Retirement Income Security Act, which is currently being used in court by the insurance company to attack single-payer initiatives. My amendment passed the committee. It was taken out of the bill at the behest of the administration.

---"at the behest of the administration" hmmmm interesting

Oh thank you so much Obama for the change. BTW what fucking change is that? Looks like business as usual with the millionaire crowd.

---Then the pip squeek from S. Carolina speaks up:

<snip> SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: The House bill is dead on arrival in the Senate. Just look at how it passed. It passed 220-to-215. It passed by two votes. You had forty Dem—thirty-nine Democrats vote against the bill. They come from red states, moderate Democrats from swing districts. They bailed out on this bill. It was a bill written by liberals for liberals. And people like Joe Lieberman are not going to get anywhere near the House bill. It cuts Medicare about $500 billion. It’s over a trillion dollars in new spending. It does have the public option. So the House bill is a nonstarter in the Senate.

--- Ahh ...a true rarity ..a repuke who says it like it is. I still hate that fucking Lieberman ass kissing punk!

The bottom line is this ...they put poison pills in this bill to make sure it won't pass the senate. But hell yea ...go on keep attacking Dennis. I am beginning to wonder why I ever bothered to register as a Dem. It apparently makes no difference who you vote for because all these assholes are millionaires and they only care about millionaires and when Dennis speaks up the Dinos, Blue dicks, DLC and center right leaning assholes are always feeding at the fucking corporate pig trough.
