PUBLIC OPTION: Clueless, If True

7:02 pm EST August 19th, 2009 | News | 7 Comments

I can’t really believe the White House would be surprised that liberals would be upset about the way they’ve played around with the public option. I mean, really guys? Max Baucus isn’t the center of gravity in the party.

    No, but he is closer to the center of the country than Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Kennedy, Sebelius, Daschle, Dean, Obama, Orszag, Willis…

    Well he is physically. And Daschle and Reid are pretty conservative, as is Sebelius. Interesting to list me with that folks, time for me to go to my next Trilateral meeting.

    Why all the concern over who is ‘more center’ than who?
    I care who is more correct!

    Boy, when Obama has lost Oli Willis, he is really hooped! And Save Farris, actually, according to every poll, if you look at what the American people believe in and want…not how they self identify (i.e. liberal or conservative) a substantial majority are actually more ideologically aligned with Pelosi and Kennedy than they are with your buddy Reagan or Bush or Limbaugh. I’m just sayin’…that is what EVERY poll has proved. But, hey, why let facts get in the way of your ideology, right?

    Boy, why does Oli moderate comments? That seems so…hmmm…well, so RedState. Stop that Oli, or Chuck Grassley won’t love Obama and then the whole world comes tumblin’ down around POTUS.

    After all the conflicting stories I keep hearing on the health insurance reform debate, I have a hard time taking this at total face value, myself. Maybe they didn’t expect such a hard pushback from the left, but I doubt they were blind sided. If anything, I think they are more blindsided that the ‘center’ as represented by Baucus, Collins, and others are being little better than the Republicans, who basically have decided that they have no interest in voting for anything they didn’t personally write.

    But frankly, the press on this has been fairly abyssmal, and was especially muddied by the PR tactics of DCI Group and others. Setting up mobs grabbed everyone’s press time, and gave the reporters a built-in he said/she said. Since ‘the center’ has nothing to do with with facts and everything to do with conflict, we got nothing for a month but rumors of death camps.
