What’s the difference between our side and their side?

Their side fights for what they believe in.

Our side wimps out.

Take health care reform.

Those opposed to a public option and to single payer are willing to bring the Senate to its knees on behalf of Aenta, CIGNA and the health insurance industry.

Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska) and Joseph Lieberman (I-Connecticut) say they’ll filibuster any health care bill that includes any form of public option.

Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) says he favors single payer.

In lieu of that, Sanders says he favors a strong public option.

But will Sanders filibuster the health care bill if there is no strong public option?

This morning, on ABC’s This Week, George Stephanapoulos asked Sanders that exact question.

Sanders dodged it — and refused to draw a line in the sand.

So, it looks like the Nation magazine got it wrong when it ran a story yesterday under the headline: Sanders Stands on Principle: No Reform without Public Option.
