Dems Tighten The Screws For Health Care
By Wes Keene | March 10, 2010 | In Category: Health Care
Keep it to the talking points. That’s the message Democrat leaders have for the party as they try to rush past the finish line on the unpopular health care bill. Major Garrett of Fox News writes:
“The irony of the Simas presentation is that it describes phrases and selling points on a bill that doesn’t exist. For two straight days White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been negotiating behind closed doors on Capitol Hill with top House and Senate Democrats on a set of so-called fixes to the underlying Senate bill the House must pass to advance the stalled health care reform effort.”
The entire propaganda of the bill has amounted to pumping up the positives (what few there might be), and refusing to discuss the negatives. As we’ve seen over the last several months, that last part really means “denigrate anyone who dares to want to discuss a potential drawback of the plan”. The Associated Press falls right in line with this peice:
“At the Capitol, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that after days of secretive talks, key Democrats were “pretty close” to accord on additional subsidies to help lower-income families purchase insurance, more aid for states under the Medicaid program for low-income Americans and additional help for seniors who face a coverage gap under current Medicare drug plans.”
No spin there. It’s good to see the AP keep the report to just the facts. While Rahm and the rest of the Democrat mafia work behind closed doors to plan the demise of private insurance, the AP is out doing the Democrats’ bidding. It should frustrate any freedom loving American that Democrats work in secrecy to find a way around the Constitution to enact their pet bill.
Let’s make sure everyone we know keeps these seedy games in mind come November.
