The party of the Grouchy Old Paranoids (GOP) has employed P. T. Barnum's philosophy for years to woo the gullible into the big tent of the wealthy. In America there is indeed one born every minute and the Republicans voter precentage wouldn't break into double figures without them.
Why else would former V. P. Cheney still walk around telling people that Saddam Hussein was behind the 9/11 attacks and someday we'll find all the weapons of mass destruction he's just about positive must be in Iraq? Other world leaders assume he's daft but actually he's just wearing his team's colors.
And last year's Presidential campaign? Really! He's Muslim who goes to a Christian church that has an atheist preacher? His fist bump with his wife was really a terrorist signal? His Hawaiian birth certificate is a fake? God these paranoids are hilarious when threatened.
Now there's a yard sign in my neighborhood that proclaims "Obamacare = Euthanasia for the Elderly".
Ignoring the obvious fact that President Obama does not have a health care program and has asked Congress to create one, this old folks euthanasia fable feeds right into the Grouchy Old Paranoid fantasies, doesn't it?
This right wing scare tactic is another cable news fact that has been discredited everywhere but on the Fox News channel.
For the record, the facts are written here (Newsweek) and here (Wall Street Journal).
Of course loyal Republicans wouldn't dare follow these links. They're ditto heads and ordered not to look for the truth under any circumstance.
There is one GOP lie that I wish was true...that Democrats will have the power to deny health care to Republicans.
Imagine Limbaugh without his oxycontin.
