The Public Option Isn't Even MOSTLY Dead
CBS News/Politico/The Atlantic/Modern Healthcare/ Washington Examiner/The Lid ^ | 9/2/09 | The Lid

Yesterday when Politico announced that President Obama was going to give up on the inclusion of a public insurance company option in his Obamacare legislation, opponents of the bill had a big party and started singing "Ding, dong the option's dead." There was only one problem with Poltico's analysis, while the President may be willing to drop the "public option" congress decide not to cooperate. On the other hand the President hint of dropping the public options may just be a ruse to calm down the anti-Obamacare sentiment until its too late.

As proof that the public option isn't even mostly dead, many of Obama's allies voiced their continued support of the public option today:

Don’t assume anything folks! Keep hammering away at BO and your Congress critters! This is a long term movement that should not only stop socialism but reverse the trend. We need to steal a page out of the socialist playbook by increasing and maintaining unrelenting pressure on BO and his socialist minions despite any setback we may incur in the short run. Always be vigilant!

I can see where a really rowdy demonstration or two might be needed. They still seem to think we will eventually get tired and go away.

This legislation is going to end up in a Legislative Conference Committee between the two House chambers. That’s where the legislation will REALLY be written, and it’s going to be controlled exclusively by the liberals.

I don’t care what Hussein says, or even the dems in congress have to say. What happens behind closed doors at the conference committee is what will get forced upon us.

The only safe scenario we have is killing the legislation outright, and that isn’t going to happen.

Our best hope is eventually repealing it all when we throw the bastards out of office!

Public Optio in or out, it does not matter. Any part of this thing is toxic because if any part of it passes, no matter how compromised, it will become the whole thing rapidly bit by bit, first as House Senate Reconciliation, then as amendments and riders are added to every other piece of legislation that Congress considers from the moment the “compromise” passes. This beast has to be killed and its body burned and the ashes buried in a thousand foot well.

“Folks if you are opposed to the Obama version of health care reform, do not stop fighting because the public option and the other repressive parts of Obamacare are not dead..not even close.”

That’s right. The Democrat Bolshuvits lips are moving, therefore they are lying.

Without the “Public Option” their plan is dead as it is a necessity in the BIG picture for their ultimate goal which is to control us.

It is best to not believe anything the Democrats say as they will simply call whatever they are denying something else tomorrow, therefore whatever it is one thought was taken out of the bill, or will not be in the bill is in fact still existing as something else.
