How does it feel to have a corporate HCR bill that virtually every progressive group abhors and yet have it labeled as the first major progressive bill in some 40 years?
And make no mistake about it. The MSM will label this a progressive bill. Any defects will be considered progressive defects. How ironic that all we detest in this bill, a thoroughly corporate bill, will be used to beat us over the head in 2010 and beyond.
With HCR about to become a reality, a very unpopular reality, Progressives must be ready to defend our beliefs not from attacks by the right but from triangulation by the DLC Dems whose existence seems to be to run cover for everything corporate while all we stand for is ignored.
How many more NAFTAs and GATTs, Telcoms, Graham Leach Blileys, Patriot Acts, AUMFs, Bancruptcys, and TARPs do we need to swallow before we realize that our Brand-Name Institutional Dems are all Institution and no Dem?
When are we going to realize that all this legislation has unleashed havoc on our ever embattled Middle Class?

No more lime green leisure suits for me.
