GOP scare tactics is their only game

AP story in today’s local newspaper, the Times-Standard here in Eureka, CA, says the Republicans now have a new scare tactic. They are saying that the Democrats would deny Republicans health care. According to the AP, the Republican Party has mailed a fund-raising appeal with a questionnaire that says the government could check voting registration records, "prompting fears that GOP voters might be discriminated against for medical treatment in a Democrat-imposed health care rationing system." Katie Wright, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said the question was "inartfully worded," but she said people should worry because government officials would have access to personal financial and medical data. She said the RNC “doesn't try to scare people. We're just trying to get the facts out on health care. And that's what we do every day."

Well, it isn't "inartfully worded;" it is flat-out wrong. Instead of trying to work up a health reform package that will benefit all Americans, these people spend all their time yelling, screaming, name-calling and throwing around totally misleading information. The scarier part is there are people out there who believe them.
