The Villagers' World Turned Upside Down

They sit in shock today, unable to comprehend how their announced wisdoms did not rule the day. They can not believe the DFHs prevailed upon Senate Majority Leader Reid to put in the public option (with the President's Men, Villagers All, none too pleased either.)

Their disdain is now aimed at Reid for, disgustingly, listening to the people and being concerned about what they think instead of taking his cues from the would be Broders. Their concern for Olympia Snowe's dignitas (where their own are housed) knows no bounds.

They will fight hard against this revolt of the peasants. They will do the insurance industry's bidding and fight, leak, slant and attack to the bitter end. And the fight is still in doubt. But there is no doubt that shock and anger is their reaction today.

................

They have done the impossible, and that makes them mighty. But the war is not won yet. In many ways, it gets harder from here, because they will face the full wrath of the Village, who feels its grip on power slipping. The Village will not go down quietly.

1. From Reading Some Threads Here...

There are those that feel all is lost and the villagers have won. Guess you'll never please everyone.

Yep...the corporate media has tried to manipulate and frame this story and understimated the strength of the growing Progressive movement in this country. They still think we're in the late 90's and booooshie years when the right wing dictated the coverage and the framing. They've lost control of the flow of information...the internet and netroots have become the cutting edge and they're trying to survive as their corporates lose audience and revenues to new media.

Yep...how dare Democrats deliver on one of the biggest priorities that helped them sweep to big wins in the past two elections...the corporate media is waking up to a new reality.

2. I got a message for the Villagers:

There's more of us, the great unwashed, than there are of you and we are working our number to our advantage. The high and mighty can just shove over: you've got company, and we're here to stay.
