RNC memo: ‘[E]ngage in every activity we can to slow down’ health care.

By GottaLaff

From the tone of the Comments in this thread (liveblog of President Obama's speech), it's obvious the GOP is in a bit of a panic. As you can see by the quote below, they are trying to do everything possible to prevent the Rushpublic party from going down... because if Obama gets his health care reform done, they are toast. Burnt toast.

Too bad this is all they have:

In a 12-page memo obtained by the Huffington Post, the RNC urges Republicans to “engage in every activity we can to slow down” health care reform: [...]

“The Republican National Committee will engage in every activity we can to slow down this mad rush while promoting sensible alternatives that address health care costs and preserve quality,” the memo affirmatively declares.

The memo also encourages members to organize town halls, write op-eds, and even engage in “street theater” protests outside Democratic events. “And in a bit of irony,” Huffington Post notes, “the memo’s authors encourage readers to frame the president as the one acting out of political motivations.” Indeed, one section of the memo reads, “Yes the party of change is up to the same old political tricks.”

Pot. Kettle. Political tricksters.

They must be organizing to comment on blogs, too. We haven't had an influx of trolls like this for quite awhile... which suits us just fine. Every time a troll comments an angel gets its wings we register more hits (ad revenue). But that's not important now. What is important is the hypocrisy. As in:

"America first": that's their motto.

Because, you know, our health care system has worked so well for us* so far. I pay $20,000 a year, what do you pay? And what do you get?

Did I mention I have to wait months for an appointment, weeks if it's urgent, days if it's extra super duper urgent? Die, baby, die.

Your thoughts?

*"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."
