The American People want the Public Option. President Obama wants the Public Option. Even Harry Reid told the Corrupt Coward Max Baucus to include the Public Option.
But in a blatant and craven betrayal of the nation in favor of a tiny minority of Republicans (That is the Cowardice part) and in obvious response to the outright bribery of the Health Care Lobbyists, (The Corrupt part) the Corrupt Coward Max Baucus killed the Public Option.
Because he is Corrupt.
And a Coward.
As Howard Dean just said:
You know, this is going to be a hell of an issue in 2010 cause honestly, what’s the point of having a 60 vote majority in the United States Senate, if you can’t produce...health care reform.
Indeed, if a significant number of those 60 Democrats are Corrupt Cowards like the Corrupt Coward Max Baucus, it actually hurts Democrats to have 60 votes.
It hurts because it proves the Republicans right. It proves the Republicans right on exactly one thing after they have been wrong about everything else. It proves that the Democrats are spineless. The Republicans claim that Democrats are Soft On Terror, which is absurd when it comes to a policy comparison between the two parties, but increasingly apparent when it comes to giving in to the tactics of fear and terror the Republicans use routinely in politics. In this case, the Democrats are being Soft On the Terror being perpetrated by the Republicans on Health Care.
The voters are presented with only two Partys to vote for. One Party has proven themselves to be incompetent War Mongers and Torturers who screw up everything they touched in the last eight years. Not to mention baldfaced hypocrites and liars who support Single Payer for the Military and Single Payer Medicare for Seniors...while denying the American people even the bare minimum of a Choice via the Public Option vs their Corporate Masters Private Insurance debacle and scam.
And the other party, the Democratic Party as represented by the Corrupt Coward Max Baucus.....are proving themselves to be, well.... Corrupt Cowards.
So corrupt and cowardly, in point of fact, that they are willing to REPEAL insurance for America's children.
Is it any wonder half of America doesn't vote?
We have tried the Republican party way and seen the disaster it reaps. We have now tried the Bi-partisan way, the way of the Corrupt Cowards like Harry Reid and the Corrupt Coward Max Baucus. Which has deeply aided and abetted the death of the Will of the American People in getting a Public Option.
The only thing we haven't tried is saying Fuck The Republicans, Let's Do The Right Thing.
That has to come strongly and directly from President Obama....and from us.
Will President Obama make this tough decision in time to prevent forcing the American people to give...ugh...the Republicans another chance in the Mid-Term elections of 2010? A choice they should NOT have to make. A choice that they WILL have to make if the Democrats live up to their billing as spineless and ineffective governors? A choice they will HAVE to make if Democrats like the corrupt Dan Boren (Coward OK) favor the lobbyists over the Will of The People?
One of most recalcitrant Democrats in the health care debate said on Wednesday that his skepticism about a public health insurance option was driven by concern for the health of private insurers.
Appearing on MSNBC, Blue Dog Democrat Dan Boren of Oklahoma said that he generally agreed that a government-run insurance program could effectively lower costs for consumers.
"The problem," he argued, "is in a state like Oklahoma, where we have a lot of private insurers, you have a public option come in and it drives everything else out and the only thing left is the public option and then you have rationed care."
The Voters, The American people should NOT have to make that choice. We rejected the Republicans roundly in the last two elections.
Literally the ONLY thing that could let the dying Republican Party back into power is....the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party as represented by Corrupt Cowards like Max Baucus.
