Pelosi: Health care 'public option' needs new name
« on: October 26, 2009, 04:27:44 PM »
An AP article on Breitbart.

Once again, the left wants to play bait and switch. Calling a steaming pile of horse manure by another name is not going to make it smell any better.

when you can't sell the truth, sugar coat it.

Kinda like "global warming" changed to "climate change" now that we are freezing our collective butts off here in the midwest.......

When a Liberal is losing traction on an issue......this is their typical response.......rename it.....

The slogan for any liberal health program will be this:  Don't get sick in America.

Doesn't matter what they call it, the result will be the same.  If it costs too much to keep you alive, and/or if you're not personally economically feasible, you will be allowed to die.

Maybe the 51% that put Obama in the W.H. will fall for this. Not the rest of us though. :tongue:

How about "public screwjob"  It's more accurate if anything.
Liberalism Is The Philosophy Of The Stupid

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

If it walks like a donkey and brays like a donkey and smells like a donkey - it's Cold Warrior.  - PoliCon



Palin has run a state, a town and a commercial fishing operation. Obama ain't run nothin' but his mouth. - Mark Steyn

Hey Nancy, how about calling it "The Total Abortion Program," that should at least sell well with the Left.
