Media Should Clamp Down on "far left" references. Rep. Ryan's Views on "left" wing Public Option.

I am so tired of the media allowing Republicans to get away with saying their "far left" and "left wing" slams at the Democratic Party and voter.

May I remind media that Rep. Ryan and others are proposing their own "far right"/"right wing" agenda, an agenda that failed and brought about a second economic depression.

People who are "left" are independents and Democrats. They have a real belief system based on real solutions, not "right" Ayn Rand theories that have since been discredited.

Marginalizing the "left" should no longer be tolerated by serious talk show hosts. Make Republicans say the word Democrat.

Finally, Ryan continues to suggest that reform is possible without competition, with little tweaks here and there. If anyone thinks that requiring insurance companies to pay for one extra "tweak," without a premium increase to cover that "tweak," then they are incredibly uninformed or completely unaware of the current private health care system.

Expecting reform out of an industry that had 65 years to get it right, and decided to only concentrate on bigger profits, is a striking flaw in the minds of free market "thinkers" like Ryan. Here's Upfront with Mike Gousha:
