Bob Cesca: Sen. Landrieu is a "predictable coward"

[HopeOverFear]

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La) doesn't support the public option. Duh.

"I am not open to a public option, however I will remain open to a compromise - a full compromise," Landrieu told reporters Tuesday. "A public option is not something I support i don't think its the right way to go."

Screw her. Maybe this is a little over the top to write, but watch the "no public option" senators as they go by -- chances are, they've been bought off my the nation's biggest criminal enterprise. Again, the argument against the public option is that it would be unfair to the health insurance mega-corps, undercutting their profit-driven scamming. Too much competition, they say. Which is weird because I thought market competition was a conservative value. Conservatives should welcome this thing, yes?

Adding... Ben Nelson says he won't filibuster the public option. But that doesn't mean he'll vote for it.

3. Has anyone asked her the simple question:

"Why NOT?"

Why is having a public option a bad idea, Mary?

7. I hear she might be getting paid off by insurance companies.n/t

4. The entire anti-public-option argument is mind-boggling.

If our health-care industry, and the health insurance industry in particular, are as goddamned good as they keep assuring us they are, then they've got nothing to worry about.

This whole debacle is so transparent. It's as if Congress is daring us try and hold them accountable.

5. LOL

I liked this line:

"don't know what she means by "compromise." Must be a compromise between a bill written by the health insurers and one by big pharma."

8. I believe the time has come to remove our Senators' and Congresscritters' health care.

Only when they have to go it alone in our woeful excuse for
a "health care system" will they truly understand what actions
would be the correct ones.
