Yes: we CON

Obama conned the country into the belief that health care reform would come with his administration. It's a lie. We'll be lucky if things aren't even worse after he gets done cutting deals with drug companies, insurance companies, and hospital chains.

The performance of this lying, cheating con man SHOULD be enough to make all you so-called "progressives" out there think twice about EVER supporting the Democrats again. Obama is a right-wing stooge of corporate America. Take politics back into the streets where things get done. Waiting for the Best Congress Money Can Buy and Mr. Barack-the-Con-man to get reform won't work, now that they don't need to scare any of us into electing them until next November. Pound them and the President with the message: Americans want single-payer, and if the insurance companies and the drug pirates don't, too bad.

Better yet: stop paying for health care, drugs, or insurance until there is change. Shred your bills, and send in demands to get your co-pays back. Send your medical bills to your Congress Member or Senator, especially if you have a Re-piglican, or one of the Blue Dog sons of bitches (or Blue Bitches, as the case may be).

The Democratic Party is, pure and simple, one half of the party of corporate America. It is NOT the peoples' party. It does the dirty work of thieves and scoundrels.
