Maximum Delay Baucus and more...

This is a bit sarcastic so tell your children to leave the room.

No one should be surprised. Health-care reform from the moment Obama was elected has been firmly in control of the DLC (Democratic Leadership Council). There is no other way to explain the lame administration response until the 11th hour and that response was a position to the center of the debate. I expect we will get reform but we may choke to death trying to swallow it. Maximum Delay Baucus was and continues to be the perfect shill for DLC politics. Disgusting, but this go around we are stuck. The fact is just as soon as Obama signs a reform bill we need to organize to change it. And then there is Afghanistan bleeding our blood and treasury for the next 5, 10, 15, 20, 50 years; you choose. And then there is cap and trade... Health-care reform will not much matter to my grand kids if the planet is not livable. (See 350.org) Progressives must understand that our movement forward NEVER! ends in the face of those who value power and profit over people. It is a historical fact that they will never relinquish this power or profit without our sacrifice.
