Alright my Brothers And Sisters, the word has come down, and I doubt if many, if any of us are surprised. Once again the public option has been sacrificed, in the hopes of getting enough votes to pass Some kind of health care reform bill. And I can hear the sounds of outrage and betrayal from the ones out there who have more hope than sense. And I'm sure that there will be renewed calls to kill the bill etc. Well you know what? It's time to look to a new source for inspiration about how Progressives should proceed.

Stop Killing People For Money

Not so very long ago, mortgage cramdown legislation failed. I was angry about that and I thought, 'Great. Congress likes the lying thieves who almost destroyed the world economy better than homeowners. *ssholes.'

Adam Green suggested that there'd needed to be more mass mobilization before that vote. Maybe that's true, but those congresscritters still failed as human beings in that vote. Now, nauseating deja vu all over again.

The Senate is bending over backwards for their new best friends, the health insurance industry. Over at DailyKos, nyceve has described the abuses of the medical insurance racket as Murder by Spreadsheet, and lately, as a Reign of Terror.

Maybe that sounds hyperbolic to some, but the fact of the matter is that health insurance companies market defective products that kill people for money.

The Senate likes them better than us.
