I was talking specifically about seniors already dependent on medicare and medicaid that many freepers here want to work up on the idea of cuts in the program being 'death panels' for them. They are actually promoting endlessly expanded socialized medicine for political expediency and calling it the truth. But in other posts many will claim they are for cuts in social spending and medicare deficits are democrats deficits. One freeper defending F-22 against cuts pinged me with "Trillions wasted in defense but not a penny for welfare".
Neil Cavuto was poo-poo-ing the ‘death panels’ talking points yesterday pointing out that health care is already rationed , and already rationed by the government and the insurance companies. So is this argument that Obama is trading one set of death panels for another? He Pointed out it was not helpful(Cavuto, another sane person) .
Cavuto also had angry democrats who went to a town hall meeting they said was staged by pro-reformers, and they claimed that the democrats hired someone with a 'Obama is Hitler' sign to make anti-reformers look crazy.
The GOP is sitting back and telling Obama to take it slow.
The real leader against ObamaCare is Dick Morris. He is on Fox regularly telling people that grandma will get run over by ObamaCare. Morris is using the same playbook he used to get Bill Clinton re-elected.
My friend works at a nursing home. The seniors there, esp. the women, complained about how Bush, Cheney, and Rove want to privatize social security to deny medical to them. Now the seniors, despite voting for Obama, are upset at ObamaCare. I am chuckling at the irony of the Clinton playbook being used against Obama.
