Bill Moyers Calls Democrats “Spineless”

Good words from Bill Moyers on Health Care Reform!

Here are a few snippets from the comments Moyers made on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher:

Moyers, whose comments focused on the recent health care debate, said that “too many Democrats have had their spines surgically removed.”

…”The problem is the Democratic Party,” said Moyers. “This is a party that has told its progressives — who are the most outspoken champions of health care reform — to sit down and shut up. That’s what Rahm Emanuel, in effect, the chief of staff of the White House, told progressives when they stood up as a unit in Congress and said, no public insurance option, no health care reforms.”

Moyers said that, over the years, the Democratic Party “has become like the Republican party — deeply influenced by corporate money.”

“I think Rahm Emanuel, who is a clever politician, understands that the money for Obama’s reelection would come primarily from the health industry, the drug industry and Wall Street, and so he is a corporate Democrat who is destined, determined that there would be something in this legislation — if we get it — that will turn off those powerful interests.”

Selling out to corporate interests for re-election fundraising purposes is definitely NOT “A Change We Can Believe In.”

Proof that Moyers is a much more adept at politics than theology.
