Matt Yglesias complains about Max Baucus and Kent Conrad catering to the "concerns" of Republican Rep. Joe Wilson on non-US citizens being covered by health care reform. I can only remind Yglesias of what he wrote about progressives who fight for the public option:
[P]rogressives can’t adopt an attitude of sociopathic indifference merely in order to strengthen our bargaining position, because refusing to adopt such an attitude is part of what it means to be progressive.
Why is Matt adopting an "attitude of sociopathic indifference" and letting this issue stand in the way of "health care reform?" Why is he criticizing Baucus and Conrad for acting PRECISELY as he has advised Democrats to act? See also Chris Bowers' response to Yglesias' ridiculous post.
Speaking for me only
