The worst irony is: While the repub party falls apart they can still block health care
Because they own 95% of the media they are able to intimidate Dem politicos who are so much more concerned about getting re-elected than in doing the right thing.
Yet another Reagan policy comes home to roost to fuck up America.
Get a spine Feinstein et al.

1. Very sad to say that some Dems are corrupt as well in terms of health care.
The corruption crosses party lines.

2. Which Reagan policy is being referenced here?
Are you talking about the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which relaxed media ownership rules?

4. I was thinking of the fairness doctrine, but you are correct
My blood just boils when i hear the words "telecommunications Act of 1996." Signed by Clinton.
