I'm sitting here watching Keith Olbermann's Count Down
and Keith reports that Obama on Wednesday is going to
ask Progressives ...
... let's get this out of the way right now, I'm a liberal
progressive by philosophic principle but liberal by definition.
I'm not ashamed of being a liberal, you see I never bought into
the demonizing of the term and I could personally give a flying
rat's ass if Democrats now feel they have to put on a "progressive"
bath robe so Republicans don't beat them with roped soap in the
public bath houses. So I assume Obama is going to be speaking to me
too on Wednesday, that is if you accept liberals as a small radical
branch at the "Progressive" table under the Democratic Picnic Tent.
... is going to ask Progressives to be "good soldiers" in supporting
what ever Health Care Reform Bill ends up on his desk, most specifically
without a Public Option, so he can sign it with his pen and claim victory
for those Senate Seats in states like Louisiana, Arkansas and all other
Bush/Cheney loving red square miles of where somehow someone with a D
in front of Senator ended up being in the place where Edward M. Kennedy made law.
Be a good soldier ?
Be a good fucking soldier ?
Barack are you seriously going to fucking ask me this ?
Here, I'll tell you how I'm going to be a good soldier
I'm going to from now until hell freezes over never in
this being screwed by Wall Street, Big Banks, Private
Health Insurance Monopolies and Big Pharma lifetime
ever going to support, donate or vote for any fucking
Democrat that doesn't come out and voice their strong
support for a robust Public Option that anyone who wants
in can actually opt for and get covered by.
AND THIS INCLUDES YOU PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA !!
