Is really capitalism making people more stupid?
or making money is better that going all the way to College School and finishing it?
is the money made with something that makes rednecks go crazy?
C'mon

It deserves a "democratic debate"? That's 51% telling the other 49% how they can care for themselves. You can paint those against a government option as wingnuts and crazy, but I fear you're only furthering alienation of the independents and undecideds.

The public option is riotously popular, with polling showing it getting between 60-75% support, depending on the poll.
In terms of alienating independents and undecideds, which will turn them off more?
a) The people who're yelling and screaming about how Obamacare is going to create Nazi death camps.
OR
b) The people who're trying to put a bill together showing clips of the group in A, saying "those people aren't helping drive reform"
Personally, I'm more worried that the whole thing ends up preventing "independents and undecideds" from feeling safe in coming to the town halls to ask questions and get informed about the plan.
blankfistsays...I don't think most independents feel Democratic policy will bring about Nazi death camps, and any Republican rhetoric saying so will be rightly ignored. But, I guarantee a majority of the middle is growing intensely apprehensive about the whole idea and any mockery against dissenting opinions should be tempered.
Of course, I hope your party doesn't temper it, because this recent 'nani-nani-boo-boo-stick-your-face-in-doo-doo" righteousness from Dems is exactly what I like to see so to keep your party from fucking shit up too much. Sure, your guy is better than their guy, but that's no reason to thumb your teeth at the rest of the country who may disagree with your guy.
