How to Negotiate (For Health Care, Jobs, Bankruptcy Reform, etc) Like the DNC in toon form.

I'm very disappointed in the health care reform bill that's been defanged by Joe Lieberman. I'll be writing about that later. But I think the problem is how the democrats have negotiated from the start.

You have to come to the conclusion that DNC leaders are either incompetent or stupid, or totally bought off in order to look incompetent and stupid. I'm going with the third option: totally bought off in order to look incompetent and stupid.

Right now, this bill has little reform and forces you to buy health insurance just like car insurance. You'll be able to get out of car insurance but everybody has a body. And who's the enforcer? The IRS. Not good. I'm with Howard Dean: kill the bill, at least the senate version.

Meanwhile this toon by Lloyd Dangle describes the problem perfectly and I would be shocked if a cartoonist had decent health insurance.
