Senator Dorgan and the BULLSHIT on Ed Schultz show today.
It really pissed me off today when I heard Senator Dorgan on Ed's show blaming the Republicans for the inability to get his on Drug Reimportation through.

THE DEMOCRATS KILLED IT, including my own Senator, "Democrat" Patty Murray of Washington.

A total of 30 Democrats voted against it, so don't blame the Republicans now that it's time for the midterms! I'm no fan of the Repubs, but this shows that the Dems can't run on their own record, so they'll lie hoping no one remembers that THEY are acting on behalf of corporations rather than in the best interest of the people.

1. I don't think that Dorgan is running for another term.

4. WHAT HAVE THEY SAID THEY WILL DO for We the People?
The point is that the Dems who are running, point to everything being the fault of the Republicans. However on closer examination, HOW are they casting votes while they are in office? It takes more than calling the other party BAD.

WHAT HAVE THEY SAID THEY WILL DO for We the People?

What did they do for We the People over the past two years? Public option didn't even get a seat at the table BECAUSE corporate profits were a higher priority for "dems"

2. He is NOT running
so it voids your claim. Find something else to be more justified in your anger is my advice.

3. It's amazing that we even have to consider reimportation...
The gov't should stop big pharma from gouging US citizens in the first place.

5. Yes, however the DEMS killed it, because
that's what Big Pharma wanted, that was the DEAL that our Democratic President made with Big Pharma. The bill would have saved an estimated 19 billion for our government over the next 10 years, and 80 billion savings to people.

I believe both, Senator Murray and Senator Cantwell, both "dems" voted AGAINST this.

A prime example of how the dems aren't acting like dems once we do give them our votes.

8. I agree with you that it was terrible what they did...
I too am sick and tired of fake Dems and the ridiculous deals cut by this WH.

6. The Dems killed it
it was ready to pass, they had more than enough votes on both sides but the WH intervened and had it pulled and got the no votes. I remember it happening, it definitely was not the repukes for this one.

7. Everyone knew the bill would have died entirely if reimportation was added. That was the only reason
the amendment was defeated.
