“You lie!”
“What’s that Joe Wilson? Say it ain’t so.”
“You lie about covering illegal immigrants.”
“Actually I don’t. Please see Article 246 of HR 3200”
Article 246 of HR 3200 states: Those living in the US illegally are not covered and would not be covered by the affordability credits in the plan.
Facts don’t matter to people like this. They don’t matter to people like Betsy McCaughey, the woman who started the death panel rumors and then argued with John Stewart that death panels were indeed a part of the bill only to be shown that indeed they were not—not in the way she and the rest of the elephant whack jobs were claiming.
It is hilarious that the party that is allegedly for values and morals pull such crap. Are these the family values we teach our children, to lie when it is convenient, to scare people when one is out of ideas and to heckle individuals while they speak? It is absurd that the Republicans are talking about death panels and getting involved with the final days of a person’s life—anyone remember Terri Schiavo?
If the Democrats do not reform health care it will be their failure. They basically have the numbers to do so. They should not let the party that stands for fiscal responsibility and less Government, so long as it does not apply to useless wars, rich people and corrupt business, to hinder them with their gorilla like attacks of smears and lies. Apparently lies worked so well for W that the elephants got used to using them and saying whatever they pleased. Apparently rumor, innuendo, scare tactics, smears and lies are the morals the right now wish to teach our impressionable youth, or are the type of Government influence that is necessary and appropriate.
As President Obama reminded us all tonight Social Security faced opposition and socialist claims, so too did Medicare. Elephants are slow moving creatures—they have been on the wrong side of these debates nearly twice as long as the Civil Rights Act has been in practice. They continue to be on the wrong side and continue to use the same tactics that hinder this country. It is strange that when one questions if a war is of necessity or choice they face the stones hurled by the right—“un-American”, or “against the troops.” However, when one questions the basic right to medical assistance these slurs are nowhere to be found. It is clear that one party stands for respect and decency as moral principals and one only claims too. Remember the old adage that actions indeed speak louder than words.
Are you trying to tell me that Death Panels don't exist? I don't buy it. I don't care what your "facts" are or how closely you commies have read the documents. I don't need facts or "reading" to know what I believe. I'm gonna chair a Death Panel!
