Julius Caesar was murdered in the Senate of Rome about 48 BC. One
account has him stumbling into the arms of Brutus and the final blow is
felt, "Et tu Brute?


In our senate, Maximus Barrutus gave
the final blow to Public Option, a bad substitute for Single Payer. He
was not alone, other members, who called themselves democrats, voted to
kill the amendments by both Rockefeller and Schumer. OH! The treachery
of it all. The bought and paid for senators voted with their corporate
sponsors, the "Bloodsucking insurance companies!
"Et tu Barrutus?

The
dog and pony show was not unexpected; but may have been planned by the
White House itself. Do I have any proof of this conspiracy? No. I just
cannot believe that a smart politician from Chicago did not know how
the vote was going to go before the roll call. I believe the
bloodsuckers have gotten everything they wanted and may get more; they
have controlled the conversation from the start. They played the game
with loaded dice, Public Option they get 40,000,000 new customers paid
for by the government, no public option, they remain in control of who
gets insurance and who dies. The game was rigged when Single Payer was
taken out of the discussion and replaced by a public/cooperative/non
profit piece of sh*t!

So, what do we do from here?

We
continue to fight for Single Payer, we tell those asses in DC that we
will not vote for them and will vote for independents running against
them. The congress as an institution is bought and paid for by the
corporations, no republican or democrat deserves your vote. Stop voting
for your member of the House or the Senate, they are all corrupted. If
you vote for a republican or a democrat you are part of the problem.
Just say no, f--k no, damn no, hell no---vote for anyone but an R or D.

I
will stand in the streets for you, get arrested for you, be called
names for you, but you must act now and tell these miserable rotten
sons of bit--es----ENOUGH

Short Bio I was born in Brooklyn, New York in May of 1942. My first memory was the wonderful block parties that celebrated the end of WW2. I don't remember much but it was exciting and I could see how joyous people could be during a major (more...)
