I'm not sure what "liberal" has to do with him performing EXACTLY as all career/lifetime politicians do.
He simply calls himself a Democrat. Just like the "other side" in the fantasyland call themselves "Republicans" (I'm talking about politicians...not citizens who aren't politicians).
Doesn't matter what these politicians call themselves or pretend to be. At the end of the day they are there to funnel federal money to their cronies and contributors.
And the insurance companies have PLENTY of money.
They stacked the deck to win either way. If a "Republican" had come into office...things would have stayed the same: high, overinflated, price gouging by hospitals. People still buy insurance because they can no longer afford to pay out of pocket (like I did for most of my life...but even I can't afford it anymore). The gravy train rolls on.
With the "Democrat" things still stayed the same: high, overinflated, price gouging by hospitals. A few million less people are uninsured...but that will probably change IF people can get jobs. And the gravy train rolls on.
I honestly don't believe that any of these career/lifetime politicians are actually "conservative" or "liberal". They just say whatever they have to to get elected. And then they go right to "work" spending money by passing laws that enrich the people who supported them.
If Bush were a real "conservative": we would have had a tiny govt., would have never invaded other countries, we'd have lower taxes AND a surplus budget.
I think we all know how that went.
That's why I said in an earlier post...If you are a "conservative" why on Earth would you vote for a Republican? They NEVER do what they say.
And if you're a liberal...why in the world would you vote for a Democrat?
I don't see much difference in the big picture between politician/bureaucrats who label themselves one or the other.
