I think this is the first time I've agreed with Plugs on anything

doug --
We've got a fight on our hands. Powerful insurance companies are pulling out all the stops to defeat the President's plan for health reform. They're spending seven million bucks a week on lobbyists, blanketing the country with deceptive TV ads, and just funded two high-profile "reports" to distort what reform would mean for you.
I know their game. I was in the Senate the last time health reform came around, and I saw the special interests savage our efforts. Frankly, under the old rules of Washington they were nearly impossible to beat. But now, thanks to you, the rules are changing. All the lies, scare tactics and lobbyist shake-downs in the world are no match for the incredible work of Organizing for America supporters like you. That's exactly what frightens them so much -- and it's what Barack and I are counting on.
After decades of false starts, we're now just a short time from finally passing real reform. Every member of Congress will soon have to cast their vote. As real change draws near, you can bet the insurance companies will hold nothing back. That means OFA will need the extra resources to beat back whatever attack they can dream up next. Here's the bottom line: it's not time to let up -- it's time to double down.
Please donate $5 or more to power OFA's fight for change as we head into the final round.
When I talk about you changing the rules in Washington, here's what I mean: This week, crucial negotiations on Capitol Hill are shaping a comprehensive reform proposal. At the same time, the insurance companies' phony reports are grabbing headlines and their lobbyists are twisting arms. But your work is keeping them from setting us back.
On Tuesday, OFA supporters around the country organized more than 1,000 local outreach events and generated an astounding 330,000 calls to Congress from constituents telling their representatives that "it's time to deliver." From my years in Congress and my conversations with Senate colleagues this week, I can tell you with confidence that your message broke through and you helped keep us on track.
If this fight were only about guaranteeing the choice of secure, quality, affordable care for every American, it would be worth everything we could throw at it. But as Barack reminded us this week, this fight for change is now about something even bigger: a test of whether or not "we as a nation are capable of tackling our toughest challenges, if we can serve the national interest despite the unrelenting efforts of the special interests; if we can still do big things in America."
I believe we can. And Barack believes we can. But what really matters is whether you believe we can. If you do, now is the moment to make it happen. Please contribute today:

Thank you,
Vice President Joe Biden
Will he promise this is really the “Final Round,” and that after they lose, they’ll stop their assault on the Constitution?
When the Dems want money - they rouse the ‘loyalists’ to support Obama because it’s ‘the president’s bill’. But when criticism of the bill is offered,it then becomes congresses bill (it’s not Obama’s fault it’s not well written etc.) until more money or ‘image building is needed at which time it turns back into ‘the president’s bill’. Hmmmm...maybe this coincides with a full moon.....?

Once government assumes the power to control economic life, and has the power to crush your business like a paper cup, you have no choice but to get in the game and try to influence the politicians, influence the laws, and ultimately buy favor with the men who will decide if your business lives or dies.
Political control of the economy guarantees, guarantees corruption. The companies thrive who are best able to navigate that system; getting the laws tailored to their needs, and buying the politicians who can hurt them.
Want to minimize corruption? De-politicize the economy. You can throw the rascals out every election year if you want to, but it won't eliminate corruption one iota as long as the government controls the economy. Government control of the economy guarantees corruption. It guarantees that people will need to buy favor, and it guarantees that the government will have favors to sell.

This isn’t legal is it?
Try to imagine what it must be like to get up every single day whining and complaining, identifying yourself as a victim of capitalism, of urging women to commit infant murder, to hate the country you live in, to criticize everyone and everything except yourself, to ‘enjoy’ complaining with other liberal assholes, to lie, and cheat, and steal to further your own selfishness. Well that’s what it’s like to be a leftist thug DemonRat moron.
That’s the best article title I’ve read on FR in a long time, Doug. Thanks for the chuckle.
It sounds like the Final Solution!
