We've Won The Health Care Debate.

[berni_mccoy]

Bill O'Reilly: "But you know, I want that, Ms. Owcharenko. I want that. I want, not for personally for me, but for working Americans, to have a option, that if they don’t like their health insurance, if it’s too expensive, they can’t afford it, if the government can cobble together a cheaper insurance policy that gives the same benefits, I see that as a plus for the folks."

If Bill O'Reilly is talking this way, then we have truly won the debate. He is saying that the Public Option is good. The rest of the debate is truly going to be on the details on how to make it happen.

1. Its only win when a bill passes thats good

[berni_mccoy]

2. It's only when the Bill is signed by Obama that it's REAL. But for now, this will soften opposition

and allow us to pass a Bill with a Public Option. The Debate is over.

3. If others 'over there' talk like that,

you're right.

[Romulox]

4. On the contrary. What Bill O sells, I ain't buying.

This raises my suspicions, if anything.

5. Am I on drugs again???

Did Billo just say something reasonable??

Did hell freeze over??

(Methinks billo is getting scared of the baggers...He said some other fucking thing last week that was almost human....)

7. I agree. I think he is trying to pulling things back from the brink of insanity

[Eric68601]

6. What again?

Wow, yet ANOTHER incident where Bill O' says something reasonable. That's been happening alot lately.... WHAT GIVES?

8. I think what gives is Beck's Insanity. I'm smelling a great divide growing at Fox, and probably

in the GOP as well.

9. I think his version of a public option is subsidized private insurance for

the poor. This would be another corporate raid of our Treasury. We need Medicare to be offered as the public option.

10. you're right - this is establishing a baseline that the poor should at least be helped

oreilly is an asshole though
