This Is Slimeball Stuff- The Senate May OR May Not (Depending on the Source) Be About to Pass a Health Care Reform Bill, But No One Knows What's In It

OK, so the Senate seems poised (again, possibly or possibly not, depending on the source -- SEE the below 2 links) to pass a massive health care bill which will certainly be one of the greatest expansions of the federal government in American history, and we are not allowed to know what's in it or even get a straight story on which senators oppose and favor it. PEOPLE: These congressional dems and repubs do NOT represent us. They are slime. Their votes can be purchased for a dime (i.e. a few million in pork in a Lousiana bog or a Missouri timber). None of them care what we think. They think we're just a big dumb uneducated populace. I have said before, that never in my several decades on the planet have I seen such unresponsiveness from the federal government (and that goes mainly to the slimeballs in charge, but ALSO to the slimeballs who inhabit the intolerant far right). These people just go around doing whatever the hell they feel like in Washington in terms of passing massive legislation and trying to impose all kinds of new levels of federal control and regulation upon our lives -- regardless of what any of us think about it. I've not seen anything like it before in my time. Scary Days.
