    I'm a cynic

    Gee the Republicans manage to fight tooth and nail and not compromise at all on anything they believe in and they have, at most, 25% of Americans behind them.

    In polls 70% of Americans expressed support for government run health care, yet single payer is, for the Democrats, "off the table."

    Sorry Mr. Reich the Democrats are a spineless lot-in bed with the very corporations that run both parties.

    I have done the letters, email, phone calls, and even personal visits to the offices of my Democrat "representatives." And we still went to war with their approval. After decades of voting for Democrats I give up. They will do what they decide to do-whether I like it or not. And I will write in ":none of the above" on my future ballots.
