Wait.

*Republicans* are accusing Dems as being beholden to Big Pharma?

That is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard.

The Republicans had Big Pharma write the Medicare Part D prescription drug bill that contained the now-infamous DOUGHNUT HOLE which cost senior citizens in Florida hundreds of dollars per year. The bill was NOT paid for by cutting spending so, unlike every Dem bill which is offset so as not to increase our debts and deficits, the GOP Medicare Part D bill borrowed and spent almost $1 TRILLION from China and Japan to pay for their new Big Pharma written entitlement. It was SO UNPOPULAR with the GOP congress at the time that they had to hold a 15 minute vote open for more than 2 hours while the criminal Tom DeLay twisted GOP arms to get it passed by one vote. Not to mention the fact that the Bush Admin lied to the American people as to how much it would cost us and our children. They said it would cost about $200B and then told the Medicare actuary that if they release the ACTUAL figure — which was estimated to be $600B but has now ballooned to $1T — they would be fired.

THIS is recent history between the GOP and Big Pharma.

Obama told Big Pharma, “Hey, we need to fix the Doughnut Hole because it’s bad for seniors.” The one condition the industry gave was noo drug importation. I opposed that idea because I support the government’s ability to find a better deal so as to lower prices, but I also understand that we don’t want to be beholden to international drug manufacturers who may produce products of lesser quality that might endanger American Seniors.

Moral of the story, the GOP is on the side of Big Pharma just like they are on the side of Big Insurance, Big Oil, Big Coal, Big Agriculture, Big Telecom, Big Banks. You name it, if they are a profit driven monopolistic industry like the ones I mentioned, you can bet $10,000 that the GOP sides with THEM over America’s Greatest Generation of Seniors and the American people every single time.

In short, as someone else posted, Allen West IS THE PROBLEM in Washington DC, and Patrick Murphy IS THE SOLUTION.

These two men embody the choice that people have to make in this country.

Do we want someone who has spent his whole life on the government payroll who is intent on blocking solutions for America?

OR

Do we want someone with real private sector experience on fiscal issues, who is looking for solutions and to work across the aisle to get stuff done for the PEOPLE of this country?

That is the choice in November and it couldn’t be more clear.

Such is the case of the choice between Obama/Romney, Nelson/Mack, Murphy/West, Frankel/Hasner and even down to the state level with Maria Sachs/Ellyn Bogdanoff.

The PEOPLE’S choice should be:

Obama
Nelson
Murphy
Frankel
Sachs

Anyone who votes for these people is voting for:

SOLUTIONS over STALEMATE
PEOPLE over PROFITEERING
PROGRESS over PLUTOCRACY

Do the right thingN Florida!

Let’s send the Democrats in to clean up the GOP mess once and for all, so we can move forward and GROW THE MIDDLE CLASS!

Vote Early! Vote By Mail! Volunteer!

Let’s do this.

Businesses large and small are jumping on the bandwagon to ensure that the great U.S. experiment called capitalism survives.
