Why will we get "reform" based on Joe Lieberman, a handful of Blue Dogs and the Republicans?
ALL in the minority of their subset and yet the entire bill is designed to sway THEM?

Something is very, very wrong.

1. Because the Democratic Party is compromised and corrupted.

4. The actual answer is: a lack of leadership.
Sorry, that is the unequivocal truth.

Even more unequivocal - the lack of leadership was part of the plan, in order to arrive at the most watered down status quo maintaining "reform" possible but yet retain the ability to say "the greatest reform in 50 years". An easy threshold when there has been NO REFORM in 50 years
