FireDogLake Vs. Town Hall in Public Option Debate

Ahhhhhh, now I get it, republicans, represented in this video by Jillian Bandes of Town Hall, think that most Americans are insured. They believe the estimated 40 million to 50 million uninsured is a bunch of bunk. They would think that. How can you even have a debate when you don't even think there's a problem?
Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake wins this debate hands down.
About $15 million has been spent for ads to reform healthcare vs. $4 million for anti-reform, mostly on the anti-public option, which republicans say is going to lead to socialism. I used to think republicans just said extreme things to make a point. Now I think they really believe what they say.
