Nancy Pelosi takes the public option off the table….. sort of

  In an effort to disguise government controlled healthcare the Democrats coined the phrase “public option.” This was done because they thought that it sounded better than the alternative and it was done to try to fool the American people about what a “public option” was. It fooled nobody, everybody understood that the “public option” was government run healthcare. The majority of Americans oppose government run healthcare and they let their representatives know this loud and clear over the last legislative recess.

  United States representatives know that the people as a whole do not approve of the “public option” and being the voice of the people and the arm of the government that is supposed to be the closest to the people they know that the “public option” must go if they truly want to represent the people.

  And now even Nancy Pelosi has resigned herself to the fact that the “public option” is off the table….. sort of. Instead of listening to the will of the people and dropping the “public option” altogether, Nancy Pelosi has decided that it is time to drop the term “public option.” The “public option” will still be on the table, it just won’t be called the “public option” anymore if she has her way.

In an appearance at a Florida senior center, the Democratic leader referred to the so-called public option as “the consumer option.” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., appeared by Pelosi’s side and used the term “competitive option.”

  The “public option” is now being replaced with a term that the Democrats hope sounds more friendly; either the “consumer option” or the “competitive option” but the fact remains that the option is still the same– it is government run healthcare and this is still the option that the American people oppose.

  Instead of abiding by the will of the people– which is her job description– she is attempting to put a better face on a bad idea. She, and all the others who are trying to force this on the American people, thinks that she knows what is best for the American people and she does not give a damn whether the American people want the option or not.

  The Democrats tried to put one over on the American people when the refered to the “public option” and now that that didn’t work they are trying to fool the American people by changing the terminology once again. Instead of listening to what the American people want she is playing a game of semantics and hoping that either the American people aren’t paying attention or are too stupid to see the game that she is playing. This is insulting to me and it should be insulting to the vast majority of the American  people.
