The Republican wins, even if he loses

And, sadly, millions of Americans can be suckered into supporting the special interests, and trashing their own interests. Not just half-heartedly screwing themselves, but enthusiastically.

I've seen more than one poster here fooled into thinking the Mass. race represents some sea change in American opinion (at least, as long as Brown is polling well), and that the election of another obstructionist elite will mean victory for the average American.

This morning, I saw this "status" on the social network site page of a wingnut acquaintance (she is below the median income, I'm pretty sure);

Go Massachussetts !!!

There will be market controls on cost.The addition on young healthy people to the health insurance rolls will spread the burden and reduce cost.The insurance industry did not run their companies like a business by reducing premiums to attract young healthy customers to spread the burden.Instead they depended on their republican,and so-called conservatives in congress for more government subsidy with-out regulation.If the insurance,and medical industry takes the USA people money,the USA people should make some rules on what they do with our money.Are you saying it is better for the USA to continue to give the insurance and medical industry 100's $billions of $dollars with the USA people having no say so about what they do with that money.The same medical industry that will take everything you own for a very grossly over priced bill that you could not pay.A bill the government paid with a grant for the bills people could not pay.President Obama is trying to give you a USA citizen a voice about how that money is spent.A Herculean task because of the millions spent by those who benefit$$$$$ on a propaganda effort to protect their billions.It is effective proof being how people like you have been fooled.The propaganda even has people thing going against this will protect jobs.Got people believing buying insurance across state lines will lower cost.What is the difference in buying insurance from big insurance Omaha headquarters or their Alabama office???Duh!!Profits the insurance,and medical industry makes are not increased by paying employees more or being more generous with benefits.In the real world it does,but not in the business model used by the insurance and medical industry,today.A very large percentage of insurance companiy profits are shiped out of the USA.
