Geeze, David. You're ticked off at Olympia Snowe after she voted in favor of a bill that's not even made it to a final draft, yet? You're absolutely right. You DON'T get it. Even a modestly intelligent ten year old would recognize a politically blind 33 year old's anger issues, and how out of control they've truly become.
Before you get all bent out of shape.....again......you should give serious consideration to attending a few anger management classes. Now, while you're frantically searching for non-existent audio soundbytes of Rush Limbaugh making racist comments about NFL players, if there's anyone other than myself who's actually wasted time reading your above ranting, why don't you tell them how your 'journalistic' talents failed you miserably when you were confronted by someone who recognizes you for the no-talent leftist shill you are. Reduced to using expletives, as most ten year olds are prone to do when they can't find the words to effectively convey their message.
You're an embarrassment to anyone who legitimately carries a journalist's credentials, David. And once again, I'll offer my sincere sympathies to the citizens of Denver whom you intentionally mislead with your National Enquirer mentality.

Despite the take on your column given above, your column was not offensive and your column reflected a quest for answers. More columnists should be so open-minded and refrain from re-hashing the spin doctors' talking points. I first saw your column about Olympia Snowe on Alternet and will comment at greater length there.
Suffice it to say in this limited space, you're correct in sensing that the Maine Senator has been used as a means of distracting the public. She's been exploited to distract the public from Democrats' scandalous handling of health-care reform. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley and even Montana Democratic Senator Max Baucus have also been used to distract the American public. Democrats are distracting the American public from a Constitutionally-based claim for Medicare for All which a Clinton judicial appointee, and former party fund-raiser in the Oregon District, quashed, so Democrats could claim credit for accomplishment themselves later, raise millions of dollars in campaign funds in the interim, and win elections on the mere promise of accomplishing the exact same purpose that the uninsured-taxpayer lawsuit had full potential to accomplish years ago.
Here's another question to ponder: With all the lawyers in the Democrat-controlled Congress, don't you think it's the slightest bit peculiar that, despite the difficulty of the legislative route, none are trying to establish health-coverage reform on the same Fifth Amendment public-purpose grounds and Fourteenth Amendment equal-protection grounds that that lawsuit invoked? It would be an admission by Democrats that they have politicized that court case and betrayed political supporters since 2008 and beyond.
