Baucus is a dirty double-crossing four-flusher. With Democrats like him who needs Republicans. Democrats might just as well boot him out of the caucus.

On the other hand, he does rake in a lot of pay off money from the profit health insurance industry.

Two choices for Obama:
1. Public option or veto
2. Pay off money from profit health insurance.

I’m not optimistic about the first choice.

Does it seem to anybody else that we might have elected a George W. Obama?

Don’t forget Coburn (R-Forced Birth).

On the other hand, Jeff Bingaman has said that the public option is on the table and it’s important.

gotta grant it to baucus. he’s probably the most reviled politician in the country today. that’s quite a feat when your competition is inhofe, grassley, enzi and palin.

baucus doesn’t give a shit though. if he loses the next election, there’s always a plush lobbying gig in the works.

Didn’t Teddy endorse Obama? Surely his political senses were sharp enough to know just exactly what and who he was giving the imprimateur of the Kennedy name and legacy to…

Therefore, small observer that I am, cannot help but wonder not who sold out who but rather in fact Teddy and O know exactly what they are doing.

hey, don’t be Disenchanted,disillusioned,disgusted,depressed,downhearted,downtrodden! it’s great to be free of the guilt by association, cognitive dissonance, and dismay that comes with supporting politicians who turn around and betray all their campaign rhetoric the moment they are elected.

many learned the hard way under Clinton and never set foot back in the big tent, and therefore don’t have to wince when dozens more innocent civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan die under attacks from the (D) CIC that they helped elect.

Hey, no problem. Even if there isn’t such a letter, you could always get the mad Denver vandal Maurice Schwenkler to write one.

Wow, there are a lot of crickets in this room.

not much reason for folks with sincere progressive principles to keep hanging around the thoroughly Blue Doggified, DLC, Corporate faction that sports the (D) after their names.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
