This is the Dems' bill. Why are the insurance companies' lobbyists' fingerprints all over it? The Dems have the power to play it straight on this, but they just won't do it. Your temper tantrum should be directed at them.

Looks like someone just got pwned in their own thread. All we ask for is consistency and you were called out for your lack of it.

Better look up the defintion of tantrum. I think you have it confused with facts and convictions. Once again and read it slowly...where in my prior post did I isolate corruption at the feet of one particular party??? I still do not see anybody agreeing that we need campaign finance refrom, which speaks volumes about the information challenged on this thread.
