WHAT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED ABOUT NEWT & MEET THE PRESS

David Gregory said this just before Gingrich imploded with the truth:
MR. GREGORY: What about entitlements? The Medicare trust fund, in stories that have come out over the weekend, is now going to be depleted by 2024 , five years earlier than predicted. Do you think that Republicans ought to buck the public opposition and really move forward to completely change Medicare , turn it into a voucher program where you give seniors...

REP. GINGRICH: Right.

MR. GREGORY: ...some premium support and -- so that they can go out and buy private insurance ?
Admitting that a GOP proposal is unpopular cuts against the conservative meme that they comprise 40% of the country, so it's no wonder that as far as I know, none of the gasbags have addressed this telling point.

Don't most progs (and many-most others)believe that the manner in which Obama initially gave way on single payer and public option went against the grain of what polls of the public's preferences revealed?

Possible in some way setting the stage for what you're commenting on?
