I just read that Jim Demint and his buddy Sam Brownback are planning to filibuster all legislation until they get a chance to vote no to Dr. Donald Berwick, President Obama's recent recess appointee.
Well pardon me if I am not stunned. Jim Demint, the hero of corporate conservatives, wants the chance to question Dr. Berwick, so he can then vote no, or wait, maybe he will vote no to a vote....
And you know he will have lots of company. That great republican frat house on Capitol Hill will have a few more months of pranks before the next election. And I can't believe that the voters will allow him and his fellow frat boys to spend another two years stalling important and much needed legislation.
At this point, even people who tend not to follow politics, because they are, you know, too busy trying to earn a living, or just to save their homes and maybe even their lives, are surely tired of the ridiculous double-talk -- and don't forget the silly charts -- that are just part and parcel of republicans listening to themselves tell lies and dirty jokes.
It was Jim Demint that went on record to say that health care would be Obama's Waterloo. Well, when they take Obama health care down, there are going to be an awful lot of us who will lose. Sons and daughters will once again no longer be on family plans, the poor and unemployed once again will be unable to obtain health care, and the health insurance industry will again be able to be the "death panels" that say no to the sick and dying.
So fight to take down Jim Demint and his corporate cronies. Support Alvin Greene's fight to get to the Senate:
