But, since we have no hope nor desire for, royal approval, we can do whatever we wish to advance our cause. This has included attending OFA meetings and talking up single payer, much to the chagrin of OFA organizers, who are watching the network come unglued as the most liberal (and most active) members become disenchanted or just plain disgusted, and members become interested in single-payer.

And, what help does he expect from the likes of Landrieu? </p> <p>There will be a rally/lobbying effort in D.C. on July 30th, for Medicare’s birthday. This one is strictly single-payer.

There will be a rally/lobbying effort in D.C. on July 30th, for Medicare’s birthday. This one is strictly single-payer. Everyone so inclined is invited and will be welcomed – Everybody In, Nobody Out.

And screw the Repubs passing as Democrats. Enough already!

I will be posting another video later I think I got a slight case of tea bag ptomaine from the highly taxed bun and meat.

But they talked to us because they liked our supply-side melons and were hoping we were conservative in every way but horizontal. They invited us to a Tea Bag Tailgate today to the Rose Bowl. Hot?
