Democratic Congressmen, including, or especially, “Blue Dogs,” had better man up when home over the August recess. Led by two Astroturf lobbying firms, America’s Health Insurance Plans and others, again deceiving the malleable-minded who probably think Medicare is not a government insurance program, will try to give national healthcare the coup de grace. And, since similar-minded groups used forged faxes to try to kill Waxman-Markey, everything is fair game for them.
Next question —will Obama disavow this, and how long will it take if he does?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
