DKos Calls Out Tom Carper

Hunter does one fine job of describing Senator Tom "Corporate" Carper as the dog he really is these days in a post at DKos.

Tom Carper, who is the number one recipient of corporate cash vs. individual contributions of all Democrats in the Senate, with about 44 percent of every one of his campaign dollars coming from corporate PACs -- a feat that required him out-grubbing all four of the other top corporate go-to Democrats on that list, Blanche Lincoln, Kent Conrad, Ben Nelson and Max Baucus, all of whom have already gone to great and much-publicized lengths to make sure that any bill passed by the Senate is as much of a cash cow for private insurance companies as possible, and who have become regular fixtures in the attempt to gut, water down, or carve away anything that might be the slightest bit inconvenient for those companies.

That is the guy being allowed to push an alternative to a real public option in healthcare.

We, the people of Delaware and the nation deserve better than this. Senator Corporate must not be allowed to have his way and the next election he needs to hear from all of us as we express our disdain.

Peace.
