Republican misinformation campaign

Best? Unfortunately, just another made up talking point. Remember, just because the right-wing politicians and their surrogates say it over and over, that doesn't make it true. I wish it were, and think we should work towards making it true, but that doesn't change our current reality.

The RNC - mind you, not some random crazy person disrupting public discussions, the actual political party itself - is trying to convince their base of the ridiculous notion that the government will discriminate against Republicans, and deny them healthcare.

That is the Republican version of "political leadership". No shame and no conscience. Plus, what does it say about the level of respect they have for their own "base", to feed them garbage like this?

And they're not stopping there. The actual leader of the Republican Party is now trying to convince people that Obama wants veterans of the US Armed Forces to kill themselves.

They are so committed to maintaining the profit margins of the status quo that they'll tell these ludicrous lies directly to the public. These people have absolutely no shame left.

Of course, Fox "news", who sued to have the right to brand misinformation as news, is reporting flat-out lies as fact.

Fortunately, America's seniors are not buying the lies, no matter how loudly they're shouted over and over.

Remember, "right to life" is their code for "war for oil", "pro-death penalty" and "oppose healthcare for all", "states' rights" is code for heavy laws at the federal level usurping State control, and "sanctity of marriage" is their code for "adultery and divorce are perfectly normal".
