Bill O'Reilly has a heart. Okay, that might be a bit of a stretch, but he does say on this video that he supports a Public Option (although, first he declares it dead).

Now I can't admit to watching much of Billo, but if he was for a Public Option in the Health Care Reform Bills, why didn't he say so sooner? 

Say what you want about O'Reilly, I know I do, but regardless of what you think of him, you still have to admit that he has a great deal of clout with those on the right side of the HCRB debate.

Of all of the talking heads over on the right that have a large audience, Bill O'Reilly is, in my mind, the most respected. (Yes, I had to cringe while writing that sentence.) If for some unknown crazy reason, O'Reilly would decide to get on board and back any of the HCR Bills that are now waiting in Congress (except for the Baucus Bill, that one just reeks), it could go a long way in changing the minds of a lot of conservative voters and could possibly loosen up the deadlock that has a stranglehold on Congress, but especially in the Senate.After all, if it's good enough for Bill, why wouldn't it be good enough for you?

I believe that there are some Conservatives out there that would support a bill if only one or more of their heroes would soften to the idea of helping their fellow Americans. Many are just hung up on their ideology or whatever  they are told to be hung up on.

I think what they really lack is leadership in there camp. They certainly aren't getting any from their elected officials, but that doesn't mean that they wouldn't listen to one of their Demagogues.

Of course, there is the chance that O'Reilly will recant his statement on his very next show, but if he decides to stick with what he said, it could go a long way in helping a decent HCRB get passed. I mean, if you approve of a Public Option, you also have to be behind Health Care Reform, don't you?

Who would think that Bill O'Reilly could be a hero for Health Care Reform?

Yeah, I know, but hey, I guy can dream, can't he?
