Thank you, Keith Olbermann, for this great statement. You are exactly right; this is about life and death.

I hope that Olbermann, Ed Schultz, and Congressman Grayson of Florida will manage to embarrass Obama and the rest of the bought-off Democrats so much that they will have to extend Medicare to everyone. I don't think it will happen, since I think Obama and the gang are as corrupt and malign as they come, but I'm hoping, anyway.

And when it doesn't happen, when our future is being further mortgaged to buy more death and destruction in Afganistan and Iraq and wherever, and my friends and neighbors are still holding bake sales to raise money to try to get a bone marrow transplant for some poor guy who was unlucky enough to get leukemia, I promise I'll spend time and money and energy defeating as many of these crooks in the next elections as I can, even if it means voting for their Republican opponents (in cases where voting third party won't do enough damage to the Democrats).
