They're still pushing the public option

Have they not gotten the message yet? This is unbelievable. These 4 dopes sent a letter to the White House begging for the public option and to use reconciliation to get it. Why? Because it's so popular and cost effective. Yeah. And one of 'em is from Ohio. What is galling   is the supposed polls CBS has been running to manipulate people into believing that what they don't want is what they want. Got it?

Sens. Michael Bennet (Colo.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio) and Jeff Merkley (Ore.) signed a letter to Reid saying they support this plan for four reasons: the cost savings the public option is estimated to achieve, continued public support for the public option, the need for increased competition in the insurance market and the Senate's history of using the reconciliation process for health care reform. 
"Put simply, including a strong public option is one of the best, most fiscally responsible ways to reform our health insurance system," the letter says. "Although we strongly support the important reforms made by the Senate-passed health reform package, including a strong public option would improve both its substance and the public’s perception of it."
