Public Option alive with Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 09:37 As I unfurled the ever shrinking Reno Gazette-Journal this morning I had to smile. There it was in bold letters on both the A and B sections …. the public option is, indeed, alive and well. We’ve come a long way from the life support drama days of just a few weeks ago, and that is due in large part to the progressive Democrats across the nation that weren’t going to just bend over and take ‘whatever’.
Senate Majority Leader, Reid, also deserves some credit here for listening to the voices of concerned Democrats … and I am referring to real Democrats, not the Blue Dogs and their pack.
There was also a great letter to the editor in this morning RGJ that had a line something like this: “… social justice isn’t the same thing as ‘socialism’ “.
Senator Reid knows this. The more Populist among Democrats also know this.
If you don’t, then you’ve spent too much time listening to Rush Limbaugh or the rightwingers next door.
