I posted already on what I thought public option could be.

I’ll let that post stand

Pretty typical. You don’t link to it, or even refer to where it might be found. You simply claim that you said it at some point in the past.

You are sooo dishonest. Any time a real question is asked of you, you don’t answer it.

You don’t answer why you have suddenly changed your mind about this bill. Or why you defended, until this thread, the “public option” in this bill and claimed it would not lead to single payer.

You simply are dishonest and are not here in good faith. But you do put “*ha ha” or a smiley face next to your inane platitudes, so you must be a good person.

Your shtick is so transparent. And typical of the moronic left. I’ll bet you honestly believe you are clever and insightful.

For all that the left loves to b*tch about Enron, why has this man not been tagged as Enron Krugman or Enron Paul?

Wow. Shouldn’t the desicated, side-of-her-mouth talkin’ suckin’-at-the-teat-of-government Amy Goodman rename that show?
Democracy Now? Oh really?

How about Socialism Now?

Replace that Lady Liberty with some communist era artwork. A Prole with raised fist, or maybe a Che icon.

Sheesh.

Just another reason I refer to him as “Former Economist Paul Krugman.”

Reality is developing a very plastic quality lately, isn’t it? I fear the President’s boldness in bullshitting us to our faces is spreading.

And AnninCA:

But let me express my real opinion about Paul. He did some really good work in grad school, managed to parlay that into some post-grad work, won his prize.

As much as I dislike Krugman, this passage is practically sopping with presumptuousness and familiarity. Did I manage to miss your having graduated from Yale or MIT somewhere in your incessant nattering?

Krugman. Another “end-justifies-the-means” wanker. I’d write more, but I have to go clean up the dog-krugman in my back yard before the lawn service gets here.

Once again: If single payer is so awesome, why do you have to lie to push it through?

lorien1973 on August 26, 2009 at 2:21 PM

Excellent thought…to further that…if single payer is SO awesome…why won’t the congressman give up their insurance and join in what they want to force us to take…

While I know in these threads, it is sometimes very hard not to be rattled and feel compelled to answer or respond to a troll, but if everyone in this blog would IGNORE ‘anninca’ she wouldn’t get any satisfaction. I’m not saying she’d go away…but we could get the satisfaction of ignoring her…

-YOU WILL NOT EVER CONVICE HER OF HOW WRONG SHE IS AND SHE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE OUR DISCUSSIONS…SHE DOES NOT WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH US, SHE WANTS TO STOP US FROM HAVING ONE…DON’T LET HER…

Hey, hun. Hows it going?

You really do remind me of my ex ;-)

I hear that a lot from men. It’s OK by me today to hear that.

I think I felt hurt only while going though my own divorce. Today, I just let it roll off.

I means, you disagree.

I can’t wait for this lying, shifty-eyed POS to fade into obscurity.

Anyone planning to attend Princeton U in the fall should boycott his classes. Better yet, they should boycott the entire school.

Oh please, I’ve always been for a public option and think far-right is just as much a bunch of loons as far-left. I don’t post for credibility.

And what does that mean? What does being for “public option” without being for this particular bill mean to you?

You denied in many, many, many other threads that the bill’s “public option” would unquestionably lead to single-payer system. You denied it despite all the facts thrown your way. And you continued to support it.

What changes your mind now? That you can no longer pretend that the “public option” was not always meant to kill private insurance? I’m not sure what different facts have suddenly been presented that make you now say you are against it.

And, what do you define as “far left” and what do you define as “far right”. YOu keep saying that you are in that middle and ignore both extremes, however your past comments seem to put you pretty far left. And some things that are barely to the right of middle you seem to think are “far right.”

So I’d really be interested to know what in your mind represents far left and far right.

I hate the term “progressive” as it implies being for progress, and who can be against progress

?

That term really flummoxed me over 2 years. They are a mixture. Some of the ideas are, truly, progressive.

Most are not. They want a return to unions, for example.

oy vey.

That’s NOT progressive. That’s retro.
