Reply #55: The majority of Americans are not the fringe.

[SOS]

Gibbs pointed out that "the left" would not be satisfied until we had a Canadian-style health care system.

"Between 2003 to 2009, 17 opinion polls showed a simple majority of the public supports a single-payer system in the United States."

The February 2009 NYT poll showed 59% of Americans favor the single-payer Canadian model.
59% of the US population can't be considered the left FRINGE.
