  Netroots Nation: Day 1

  It's so discouraging to see the administration abandoning the public option.  I have begun to mistrust the words "stakeholders" as much as I now mistrust "family values"--it means something different than what appears on the surface.  At this point, "stakeholders" as it applies to health care reform, means "the companies who have made an obscene amount of money over past decades and want to put off true reform for at least another decade of obscene profits."  It's also very disheartening to put one's faith in a a party and politicians, and discover (as one suspected all along) that they really are bought and paid for by industry lobbyists.
