I can have an emotional response to the issue (compassion for the uninsured, for example, or frustration with those who oppose UHC based on selfish reasons).
I can also have non-emotional responses to the FACTS contained in the proposed bill.
You seem to conflate the two.
Saying "I have a gut feeling that Obama's government option plan will lead to a single payer system" is not an emotional response. It's projecting your fears/biases onto something where there are no facts to support it.
It would be like me saying "I support Obama's plan because my gut tells me that if it passes, we'll all get a free pony."
