Holy crap! It is now official…Death Panels have been eliminated from the Senate’s bill. In a statement about the “panels”:
We never had “death panels” in the plan. Those, such as Sarah Palin, who say we did are liars trying to derail our compassionate plan to get health insurance for all Americans. This is all part of a right wing conspiracy to deny health insurance to the poor. It’s all a lie! There are no death panels! But we just took a vote to eliminate them from the plan.
Okay I am looking at the quote……I believe I would have pick a better way of stating whatever it is he is stating. To me how can you eliminate something that you say was not there? Or are they making sure that no such language is ever in the bill? That quote can be used both ways and will be taken out of context…I can almost bet on that.
The wording will give credence to the idea that there were “death panels” in the original bill…If you would like to check it out….it is HR 3200 pages 425-430, that way one does not have to read the whole 1100+ page bill….just trying to help…..
It is amazing what will be said to lather up the base……lies have always worked better than the truth…..why?…..few people believe the truth.
If only people (well trained and supposedly intelligent people) would put their brain into gear before engaging their mouth, far less of these opportunities would exist for the liars and scaremongers to hit on.
So true…it is like they walk up to the mike and just have to say something and they are not smart enough to say something intelligent.
