p.s. i missed to replying to you, alank, in ralphbon’s diary (the comments are now closed). but did leave a quick note, hoping you would see it, here.

It’s news to me that FDL supports single-payer outright.

here are some quotes from Jane Hamsher engaging with a Single Payer advocate (me):

post 13 What’s your plan? I want to know. You never say.

Kill this now so things will get so people will die and there will be rioting in the streets?

post 20 No, it’s a very simple question. You’re not expanding the range of what is considered possible, your engaging in a fantasy.

Single payer is not going to happen now just because you yell in our comments section. The votes do not exist.

yeah, with support like that, I can’t blame you for being surprised. Well, pragmatism is as pragmatism does, I suppose.

Rallied some of the folks in our area who know more about single payer than any body I know to have a meeting with Senator Voinovich (they think he is a lost cause, but I did my best to convince that I think there is an opening) not for single payer by the public option. We can dream

Keep wondering why the “me first…proud to be a member of the mob, screamer” folks are not hauled out of these town hall meetings when they disrupt.

Hell even the Code Pinkers know that if they verbally interrupt a hearing etc their asses are hauled out. If they resist being hauled out they are arrested. Not sure why the same rules do not apply to the “mobsters”

You know warn with a sign posted, announce at the beginning of the meeting and follow through. The only person I have seen hauled out of one of these meetings was a black woman by some white male cops.

What gives? Have not seen one of the big white guys hauled out when they disrupt of make a scene
