As Rudy Giuliani explains at the end of this week's Sunday Loon Watch, Republicans aren't just saying no to health care reform because they want to defeat the public option. (Along with Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Lamar Alexander, and Bob Dole, Giuliani makes it clear he's against that obviously Communist idea.)
You see, Republicans are also against any government role at all in health care. They might be going after the public option now, but they won't be satisfied until they've privatized every public health program in America, including the Veterans Administration and Medicare. That's just the way they roll.
