The Senate and the "Public Option"

It was reported tonight on the mainstream media that the Senate had voted down the so-called "public option" in the health care reform. Yawn.

Of course we knew that the big ol' powerful senators, that are totally corporate and in the pockets of big money, would side with the corporations and not the people. Time to vote some of these folks out, regardless of party. It's pathetic enough that "single payer" is "off the table" completely. If the Supreme Court lifts limits on corporate spending for political candidates, we can kiss all kinds of things to aid the "little guy" goodbye.
