re: #147 Russkilitlover

When you have open ended questions that don’t get answered, then you have people filling in the blanks. The fact that this provision is at that point is solely the fault of the Politicians - NOT the folks asking the questions.

But this question WAS answered, as soon as it was raised by Sarah “Death Panels” Palin. It was answered repeatedly — and it didn’t stop the smear from spreading on the right. Both Gingrich and Steele actually supported Palin in this.

The GOP cultivated ignorance on this one, and “won” a political “victory” through lying and distortion. As Krauthammer wrote, the GOP deliberately debased the debate, not out of any concern for the people of America, but to score a crappy political win that doesn’t help anyone.
