Protect corporations while Americans die! Jefferson is screaming in his grave!
See Jane c-span now!
I had to think long and hard about this one
NO! to bailouts for the banksters
NO! to bailouts for the health insurance companies leeches
YES! to single payer universal healthcare hr 676
Nice NPR puff piece this morning on the IMF bailout.
Surprisingly, the phrase “European banks” was not uttered.
Those dollars will soon be as worthless as toxic assets.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
That’s a Hobson’s Choice. Health care is not a commodity one should have to buy and anything toxic, such as the AMA, is by definition undesirable?
My thinking exactly. Not exactly an unbiased poll with objective wording, eh?
Dean Baker has a nice blog post up on that…

How about a poll on whether to bail out central banks or help states and local communities avoid layoffs and cuts in vital services?
regardless of the polling techniques, this is an excellent example of simple and effective framing.
Jane, it would appear that either Geithner or Summers voted in your poll … a single vote for bailout of Euro Banks.
a plea to the powers that be at fdl:
please, i beg you, put single player universal health care on the table at fdl (and on the poll).
The current woting on this is 241 for public plan and one for European banks. My question is, who’s the one?
Selise … Bill Clinton seems to agree with you – from DKos
Clinton: “Rationally, single payer is the best system”, he continued, “our system is the worst, most expensive and least effective.”
well there you go!
it’s not often that i’ve agreed with bill clinton on policy.
It’s not an FDL poll, afaik.
i think it is:

Hmmmmm…. let me see. That’s such a tuffy. Hmmmm. Hmmmm. Gee. :-))
duh.
About as informative as:
Which would you prefer:
Watching your child be waterboarded
Watching your child eat ice cream
Gee I wonder how most people would vote on that one?
Who are the eleven people who voted for bailing out European banks over health care?
Silly people…probably just trying to be contrarian…
