When You’ve Run Out Of Good Ideas

Charles Quackhammer can’t help himself, repeating every last worn-out and debunked argument against the Senate health care reform bill. The Republican noise machine is only fooling itself anymore: the best fake poll result Rasmussen can come up with is that 49% of Americans say the US health care system is “good” or “excellent.”

We saw this coming when the GOP had no answers at town halls and pretended to have their own health care plan. They still won’t deal in facts; there is nothing, absolutely no way, for Joe Lieberman or Bob Nelson to explain themselves, and the GOP can’t come up with any new talking points for them.

What do you do when you’ve run out of lies? Why, you invent new ones. Recently, an obscure government agency advised low-risk women in their 40s not to get cancer screenings. The panel lacks a single oncologist; would it surprise you to know the panel is made up of Bush-appointed “private-sector experts”? And there you have it, real-life death panels made to order.

Again, they’re only fooling themselves.
