Luntz births another GOP talking point: It's a "government option" not a "public option"

If Republicans would spend as much money and effort coming up with sound policy solutions as they do fabricating propaganda, they might actually provide something constructive.

Oh, wait... I forgot. Their guiding principle is to shrink government down to a size that it can be drowned in a bathtub. Never mind.

Drugbaugh will no doubt be using this latest talking point this afternoon.

These guys never have anything good to say about the President's policies. Fix news Fair and Balanced, what a joke.

So, having a propagandist on your show to talk about health coverage reform, FOX? I guess that whole 'fair and balanced' thing has pretty well been thrown out, eh?

How can it be a government option if it's the public who gets to choose whether or not to participate? Before any arguments are made about the public option driving private insurance out of business, look at FOX! If this really was a 'grass roots' movement against lower health care costs (why would we be against that?!), then there will be PLENTY of people sticking with private insurance. More than enough to prevent any companies from going out of business.

Truth is, 90% of Americans want coverage reform, however happy they are with their current insurance. Why? Because they want their rates to go down, that's why. Whatever you want to call it, it's a good idea, and that's the problem. How do you fight a good idea? With slander and lies, by crafting false names and predicting dire outcomes. I for one ain't buying it.

Americans know how these people at FoxNews Channel creates 'made-up' smears, lies and mis-information involving ANY issue from Pres. Obama and the Democrats, and yet these same Americans continue to give FoxNews Channel high ratings. Okay, nothing here right?

Hmmm, remember when Dan Rather was fired from CBS Nightly News for reporting on a memo (that did not exist) about former Pres. Bush? So, why does FoxNews Channel ratings hit the roof with their 'made-up' smears, lies and misinformtion about Pres. Obama and Democrats? Now is there something here? Just saying... Wink, wink. LOL

What is the issue here!? Are we taking issue with semantics!?

At work, I currently have a: HMO option or PPO option.

If legislation passes, next year I'll have what?
HMO option, PPO option, or _______ option.

Whether we call it "public" "government" or "federal" option, we are all taking about the same thing.

Its only a big deal, if you are afraid of such "choice" in that case its not Luntz you are worried about.....

Potato... Pot-ah-to
Tomato... To-mah-to
LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF!

(idiots.)

OK Luntz. Let's go with "government option."

Boy am I hungry, now. I gotta get me some government health regulated breakfast in me. Then I'm gonna get in my government safety regulated car and drive on the public, oops, I mean government roads to get to work. I need money ya know. So I might have to get some that's in my government insured bank account.

All of the GOP tactics is evidence of their coersion to protect their financial endowments, log-rolling, and benefits they receive from these private health care installment policies. They are willing to sabotage government efforts that not only deal with Health Care Reform, but financial structure and modesty attempts. When considering the national debt and the United States of America's dependency and critical position of maintaining it's status as a global power, this issue is extremely significant because of the cost control, financial waiste and fraud, as well as reserving assets to direct towards other programs.

Someone should argue from the perspective of "if the GOP really wanted to give back control to America and re-poosition us, then they would not insist on elusive and imaginatory arguments. What they would do is figure in language to guard the Real Americans they say are being harmed." Where is the intellect vs. tactics to disrupt the advancement and upgrade to the current health care process?

I AM STILL LOOKING FOR STRATEGY AND CONSULTING ON THIS FROM THE GOP. I AM STILL GETTING DIVERSIONS AND SPINS. WHERE IS THE POLICY DEVELOPMENT FROM THE RIGHT THAT IS COMPARABLE, SUSTAINABLE, OR MARGINALLY ACCEPTABLE??? SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Let's GO!

Put your money where your mouth is!!!!

That's not new. The Reps have been using "government" instead of public all along. I say so what. Do they think people are so stupid they don't know what puvlic plan means?

Why can't the friggin' Dems have a strong wordsmither and pollster like Luntz to counteract people like this on their side ??

Luntz is doing the devil's work for blood money. La-de-dah.

I think that Luntz's "Words that Work" are beginning to wear thin. The more he's on Fox, the less impact he has with people other than the mindless Fox viewers. Newspeak and doublethink are what they are.

Note to Democrats: emphasize the word OPTION. As it stands, people have to crawl on their belly to the insurance mafia and pray that the for-profit mob will cover them, and if they get sick, pray again that a "cleaner" doesn't dig up a preexisting condition they forgot to list on the application and use this as an excuse not to the pay their medical bills.

In light of that truth, an OPTION, any OPTION, isn't such a bad deal, unless that OPTION is death.

When is the FCC going to pull Fox News on the carpet for its hate speech?
