That is wrong. If I actually even paid attention to polls, I would say that it cannot be be proven that Americans what a public option at all. When we have polls shaping public opinion every day, and each poll has their own agenda, how is it that anyone can say with any certainty that this is what the people want?I don't think that is true at all.
Then the fact that almost every poll ever taken says otherwise is what?
The only poll that matters is the one we witnessed yesterday. And they rejected the whole thing pretty convincingly.
Now I know you all have your talking points this morning and your spin and I have already seen someone try to make this look like it was the exact same people who elected Mr. Obama that elected Mr. Brown. I have no problem with people believing what they need to just to get by. But lets not kid ourselves.
The American people do NOT want a public option, despite the propaganda that has been thrown at them in the past 100 years.
Every poll I ever saw said Americans strongly supported a public option. If you have any evidence of any sort to the contrary, you should post it.
And since the final healthcare bill is/was not going to have a public option in it, it is idiocy to say that MA voters voted for Scott Brown as a vote against the public option.
