    1. So after Senator Cruz pulled his speeech stunt   (not a filibuster because he was not blocking anything)  he voted with the majority anyway.  What a waste of time and money.

      Nice link.  I love when the uber wealthy get together ideologically, they can all agree that economic freedom that allows them to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and their ancestors' labor, in perpetuity, while also benefitting from the labor of others not quite so freely provided, well the world is gonna be just great.  Turns out the Sharon Statement got one part exactly right – defeating the Communist threat was a good thing.  Defeating health care reform seems somehow less …noble and pressing.

      I sense another Presidential quote…

      Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.

      (retrieved from Wikipedia about 45 seconds ago- there are numerous sources.

      1. I like the inclusion of the DLC, signaling capitulation to the right's hegemony in defining the terms. Maybe now would be a good time for Dems to aggressively reject standing athwart history yelling "stop" and opting for charging the ramparts yelling "onward and upward". Just a suggestion.
