Americans do NOT prefer private insurance; unsure on hypocrisy

Republicans are tripping all over themselves to get busted in an extra-marital affair convince people that Americans don't like government health care. Unfortuantely, the numbers don't back them up.



Today, you've got Mike Pence displaying the hypocrisy of the Republicans and the Blue Dog Democrats on the issue:

PENCE: This is not a deal that will go over well with the American people. They understand what a governmentment run insurance plan will mean.

PENCE: A government run insurance option that the President’s insisted on is going to amount to a government takeover of our health care economy.

PENCE (challenged by Andrea Mitchell on support for Medicare): Oh, no, I support Medicare, and have supported the program.

This is like saying, "I hate meat. Despise it. Meat is shit. But I love beef!"
