The MSM spent the summer telling us the Public Option was dead and unpopular. Today Joe the "sellout" has decided to side with the republicans.
His said "To put this government-created insurance company on top of everything else is just asking for trouble for the taxpayers, for the premium payers and for the national debt. I don't think we need it now."
Trouble for the taxpayers? well Americans do not agree
According to the new NBC/WSJ poll released today, support for the public option is at the highest level ever recorded in their poll. In fact it shows a 10 point swing from the last poll.
As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid moves forward crafting a Senate health-care bill that contains a public option -- with a state "opt out" -- the latest NBC/WSJ poll shows support for a government-run insurance plan at its highest level since the debate began.
According to the poll, 48% say they favor a public health plan administered by the federal government that would compete with private insurers, compared with 42% who oppose it. That's a shift from last month, though within the margin of error, when 48% opposed the public option and 46% supported it. And it's a 10-point swing from August, when 47% were in opposition and 43% were in favor.
In another question asked a different way -- is it important to give people a choice of a public option? -- a combined 72% answered that it was either "extremely important" or "quite important," while just 23% said it was "not that important" or "not at all important." Those numbers are virtually unchanged from last month.

72% say lieberman is a douche bag and a public option is "extremely
