The Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry.

That’s what I said on the House floor this afternoon.

The Republicans squealed like pigs and immediately demanded that my words be “taken down” as they say in the House. But they can’t say it’s not true.


You can see the whole thing over at Firedoglake.

I’ve been saying all along - we have to stop making concession after concession to win Republican votes. We haven’t won over a single person from the other side.

That’s why I’m sure the Republicans won’t bring any real ideas for reform.

But just in case the Republicans thought they could tap dance their way through the summit without getting called on their baloney, I’m going to be live-blogging all day on Daily Kos starting at 10am.

It’s a chance for supporters of the public option to make our voices heard. If you like what you hear, then I hope you’ll join my fight by sending a few bucks my way on ActBlue.
