Baucus Flees From Single Payer Advocates

[billyoc]

Senator Max Baucus (D-Montana) drove up to the front door of the Kaiser Family Foundation in downtown Washington, D.C. this morning.

His initial idea - park on G Street in front of the office building - and walk in the front door to meet reporters gathered inside.

But activists from Single Payer Action were out front, waiting to question Baucus about why, over the past two weeks, he ordered thirteen of them arrested, handcuffed, and charged with "disruption of Congress."

Upon seeing the activists gathered at the front door, Baucus drove down a back alley to a rear service entrance.

3. "Baucus drove down a back alley to a rear service entrance. "

And while he was making effective his escape, he was overhead muttering to himself, "We need more police!"

7. Make sure the Montana papers know about this.

Although it's the kind of story papers don't like to run about their Senator.

I think there's an Air America station there in Missoula. Someone should let them know.

9. I spoke to someone at his office last week. She said she'd relay my

disapproval to Baucus.

10. This is one of the first Dems who said:

"Not in my backyard!" He is also full of shit regarding Guantanamo..

11. I'm not really a single-payer advocate but I do like what these people are doing

Baucus is not motivated by any ideology, only by the donations he receives from the health insurance lobby. Somebody needs to hold him accountable.

12. "WE NEED MORE POLICE"
