In which I write a nasty letter to Tim Kaine, DNC chairman

Propaganda from the Democratic Party:

We did it. With House passage of health reform last weekend, we took a huge step toward providing affordable options to those without insurance, providing greater security for those who are already covered, and reducing costs for families and small businesses.

There have been many attempts in the last nearly 100 years, but Saturday's vote was the first time a chamber of Congress succeeded in passing comprehensive health reform. As President Obama wrote after the vote, "This is history."

But now we need to keep the pressure on -- and one of the best ways to show our support is to fill local newspapers across the country with letters about why we need reform now.

My reply:

If you think for one minute I am going to write a letter to the editor in support of this ABORTION of a health "care" bill, you are sadly mistaken. The Democratic Party has failed those who put them in office. This bill is nothing more than a hard slap in the face to progressives and liberals everywhere (especially women) and a great big thank you note to the health insurance industry.

Frankly, it is the health insurance industry which is the problem. Their pernicious monopoly over who lives and who dies in the United States should have been punished long ago. The only real health care reform bill I want to see passed is HR676.

Of course, the Obama administration and the majority of Congressional Democrats have ignored HR676, if not outright tried to kill it. I guess we can't do anything which would make the health insurance industry and their lobbyists unhappy, now could we?

I was a loyal Democrat until the selection of Barack Obama last year in Denver. It seems to me that Democrats, with few exceptions, just don't want my vote any more. So be it, unless you give me a good solid reason to come back, I will "waste" my votes on third parties and write-ins stating "No acceptable candidates running for this office."

I am not going to stand around and be abused by my so-called "representatives."

No one - Democrat, Republican, whatever - gets my vote EVER unless they drag themselves naked across broken glass begging for it.
