With all the yelling from the right, all the concerns from the left are totally displaced or ignored - like what about single payer , or HOW STRONG a public option?

4. That's the whole point.
Their goal is to stifle debate.

5. Because once the debate is in the open it is obvious.
And people already know that one side wants to protect insurance company monopolies and profits, and the other side wants to help increase peoples ability to get heath care, and add competition to health care.

What is the argument against a strong public option?

6. Your point relates to something I've been getting frustrated about re:polls.....
The polls are showing that Obama's polling regarding healthcare is dwindling, the MSM is assuming and presenting it as though the healthers are gaining ground. They don't seem to understand or present the possibility/probability that many of those becoming dissatisfied are becoming so because they want single payer or a strong public option. The polling isn't worded in such a way as to tell if the dissatisfaction is from doing too much or from doing too little, at least not from what I've seen.

9. K&R. You've become one of my favorite posters here.
You consistently pick up the heart and consequences of issues.

10. They've got nothing to say. The party of "NO".
No Ideas, No Answers, No Morals, No Clue.

11. Exactly. The point is to keep any discussion from happening.
You know why? Because they'd lose.
