    "may not be able to support" = "solidly opposed"

    70,000 = 2,000,000

    Small exaggerations.

    You guys remind me of Jim Carrey's one chance in a million line.

    Here is the clip if you have not seen it:

    Haha! The death of 45,000 Americans every year due to their not having health insurance just cracks me up, too!

    According to Jorge, those people are a drain on society and deserve what they got.

    The 'government option' is a choice for higher healthcare costs, increasing deficits and a reduced quality of health care in this country.

    This bill is a disgrace and it should not pass. The Democratic lawmakers that are opposing this bill are doing a great service for our country. It is too bad you apparently cannot see that.

    Reduced how? If you haven't noticed we have some huge problems with health care already and its no accident that other industrialized countries out perform us in measures of health such as life expectancy and infant mortality.

    I have my doubts about any health care reform being revenue neutral but considering how bad things are right now that is a risk worth taking. As for people like Lieberman and Bayh I don't think maintaining the status quo is doing the country a service.

    You say.

    If you present the question as only being about holding the insurance companies accountable, people are for it, as you said.

    But when you explain that this involves the government getting involved in the health insurance business, and that because of the government subsidies to this its own 'option' the health insurers will be eventually be forced out of business, ultimately requiring the pollees to move to the government option whether they like it or not, people are against it.

    The vast majority of people in this country are happy with their healthcare arrangements. These people are in favor of the concept of healthcare reform, but when you explain the effects these proposals will have on their own lives, that changes their opinions substantially.

    The questions for the polls that support your assertion are misleading. And therefore so are the results of the polls.

    oh well

    Regarding Nancy Pelosi's recent efforts to re-brand the 'public option' as the 'competitive option':

    You don't understand what the public option is, or you are lying about it in your post.

    It's not just deficit neutral. The GAO says it will actually reduce the deficit. Those are their independent numbers.

    He not only says that the bill needs to be deficit neutral but that if it later turns out it isn't, he'll make cuts in spending until it is.

    You can doubt it, but then why talk about it? If you aren't going to believe any of the information about how the bill will be paid for, then you're mind is made up, and you are going to go with your own gut feeling instead of numbers by independent Accounting agencies.

    You and whoever drew that cartoon are pathetic. I know this is D&D but some trash doesn't even belong here.

    Clearly you do not understand what the public option is.

    I do not believe you are lying about your understanding of what the public option is, because I honestly believe you truly do not understand what it is.

    You keep using that phrase, I do not think it means what you think it means.

    The political correctness police ride again.

    Hahahahaha.

    I cannot overstate the contempt I hold for the doctrine of political correctness.

    I spoke to this in another post, but I guess you guys either did not see it, or just do not get it. Or perhaps both.

    I am not even going to pretend with you people that there is any merit to your little speech code. Seriously - Forget about it. It is not happening.

    I leave you with this:
