The larger progressive blogs are focused almost entirely on "death panels", "tea baggers", Nazi references and the latest rant from Michelle Bachman or Glenn Beck. They spend most of their time "debunking" Republican myths instead of making the case for reform. <br /><br />But I disagree with you on the issue of the public option. This is the first time that liberals really have begun to make a case and demonstrate some passion for the issue. Let's hope they build on that.jinchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611279045540819939noreply@blogger.com
