Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Most of the provisions of the current proposals wouldn't take effect until 2012 or 2014 anyway, making it virtually inconsequential if the current proposal fails this year. And since Republicans have proven that they are bent on destroying our economy, they will continue that trend and be swept out of office yet again in 2012.
Hopefully, by that time we'll be able to vote in some Democrats who will actually listen to The People rather than to corporate money.
Oh! Sorry. What the hell am I saying? Please excuse me. It was just a minor brain fart, I promise.
True, but there is still a chance. I think this MA election definitely shook things up so there is still a chance they can save themselves for at least one more year. NY is having an election soon that is very much like MA in terms of candidates with one coming out of nowhere and suddenly gaining support. I think the outcome will depend on how the Dems respond between now and then.
In any event, getting ANY politicians to listen to the people vs corporations has just been made infinitely more difficult, thanks to the Supreme Corp. I mean, Court...
