You will be shocked... I changed my mind.
Sound the party horns, break out the champagne and drink up - somebody on the Internet changed his mind.
This was a painful change of mind for me - I'd busted my butt going to rallies and protests, calling my Congresscritters, raising as much hell as I could to get health care reform done. I didn't want to see that work go down the drain.
I know how things work in Congress - we weren't going to get everything we wanted, and compromises had to be made, so I was more than patient with them, continued to make my calls and pressure Congress to get us some health care.
And I was damned pissed off when Kapo Joe Lieberman blew up his suicide vest and took out the public option. For a while, I said, OK, we take half a loaf, it's better than nothing, right?
But the more I look at this piece of sausage being made, the more I see that this sausage has way too little meat and spices, and way too much poo.
There's a limit, and that limit has been crossed. It's time to demand this bill be fixed or killed.
ALL ABOARD THE DEAN TRAIN!!!
Woo-woo. Choo-choo.
It's a big bonfire, the primitives mostly discussing the difference between a "tax" and a "mandate;" apparently the primitives think a tax, such as that for Medicare, is constitutional, while a mandate, such as that proposed in health care "reform," is not.
