The Democrats Throw Their Supporters Overboard into the Churning Sea

On the eve of the House approving their dead on arrival health care reform, there was an article on Common Dreams by Tom Gallagher. Specifically, Gallagher demanded the restoration of the Kucinich amendment, which was stripped out by Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emmanuel. This amendment had been approved in a committee (shows you how much that's worth, Dennis and everyone else, laugh out loud) and would have cleared the way for states to phase out the failed US health system and phase in a cost-effective, community-based, single payer system in particular states.

UNITY-PROGRESS COMMENTARY
Not only was the Kucinich amendment never restored, but a nasty anti-abortion amendment WAS inserted, so that when all was said and done when the House bill was passed by a tiny margin on Saturday, November 7, basically all of Obama's voters had been thrown overboard into the churning sea.

Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, indeed.

You are definitely not a bona fide progressive if you vote in favor of this bill. Instead, you have been played like Grandma's violin; you are nothing more than a sad song, laugh out loud.

Further, arguably, anyone who simply remains in the Democratic Party going forward, even if they vote no on this one, can not be considered a true progressive.

In Canada, VIRTUALLY NO ONE would vote for this American garbage to replace the current Canadian system: no one in the NDP, no Liberal, no Bloc Quebecois, and very few Conservatives.
