Harry Reid.. isn't that the guy who sent a bunch of snipers to take out that rancher? and the bizarre land troop/fficers who were tazing pregnant women and the like?
the guy with a bunch of people surrounding him getting investigated for campaign donation fraud?
the guy all wrapped up in fracking, big oil, and basically everything bad?
'obamacare' is very much a republican propaganda tool. but i apologize using the term. i believe it was democrats who killed this due voter bases and a series of other reasons. however, with how i have laid out the 'leader' of democrats.. these guys seem as bad as 'republicans' now.

ahh, thank you sir. i believe lobbyists heavily come into this as well, as a lot of the democrats are funded by the health industry? i could be mistaken
