OH shit -- just call it what it really is

No Public Option
Compromise with the Insurance Companies and do a "co-op"

CALL IT WHAT IT IS

It's not "campaign contributions."

It's not "Free speech."

It's not "lobbying."

It good old-fashioned BRIBERY

Doesn't even have a fig leaf to cover up its noxious rotting organs.

("Congressman -- Here's the money -- you say it's ok to let people die.

Oh, bullshit -- How is that the same thing as murder for hire?

Don't be crazy!

You don't want to cost our companies their profit, do you?

You don't want to have to get an actual job, do you?

Because we can give this money to the person who runs against you next time around."

BRIBERY -- pure and simple, with a little bit of extortion thrown in.

"I don't care what you have to say -- tell 'em this spade wants to kill off your granny because he hates white people. If they're dumb enough to elect YOU, they're dumb enough to believe it for long enough."

OK?
