[dysfunctional press]

but the same repugs don't want to allow a 'public option', because too many people would want it...

huh? :shrug:

1. You know what, I'm getting sick of these news actresses interviewing these

Republicans and not challenging the truth of their allegations. Instead these assholes are allowed to lie and spin this issue without being forced to back up what they say. The only person doing it on TV is Ed Schultz. He put the screws to Senator Conrad when he came up with his health care cooperatives plan.

Used that quote in the article.

5. Yea, I hate that. Whenever the Republicans are on the floor

pushing some crap, they always preface their remarks by saying - "and the American people want this - or the American people are fed up with - whatever". Apparently they never really ask the people. There was a poll posted earlier here on DU, 85% of Americans want a public insurance option.

6. That's right, except

that it certainly isn't just "repugs." Too many of the Democrats in the position to do something about it side with republicans on this one.

7. I don't want government run healthcare

I want government run insurance.

8. exactly...

the words have become interchangeable in the debate- when they DEFINITELY shouldn't be.
