Open Left

You seem to have missed that I agreed that you had successfully attacked Obama (0.00 / 0)

Let me once again congratulate you for that hard work. I have not seen such complete analysis and castigation for some time. However I then went to urge you, and any others who have been working, or wishing, or even merely disparagingly given up on, a viable, no trigger, public option, to take action and move on the methods listed here and elsewhere, to push it over the top.

Pressure, you may not be aware, is not merely pointing out that something is less than desired, it is creating the conditions for what is desired.

I am sure you have ideas on what to do. Please offer some.

Pardon me (4.00 / 1)

But why is this important?

"Public option" is nothing but a slogan. They'll find a way to label something a "public option" and cheer about how they saved it from the evil goopers and conservadems, but it will be a manure sandwich.

You are participating in a kabuki show.

I'll only lend my hand to raise a flag on this ship of fools if it has an explicit provision that the states can implement single payer health insurance or a completely government run state health service on their own.
