Frame the debate: the GOP are anti-healthcare. (xpost in GDP)

[ColbertWatcher]

I've decided I'm going to call the astroturf, corporate-funded, GOP-controlled-media darlings the "anti-healthcare" movement.

They don't care about healthcare, they're only concerned about profit-making.

And not even their own profits! The turfer sleeper cells are yelling and screaming not to protect or better their own situation, but to line the pockets of these bastards!

They don't care if people die or are injured; they are anti-healthcare.

And they can go fuck themselves.

3. It's baffling - these people are shouting and chanting against their own interests.

Actually, if you look at it from far enough away, it's pretty amazing.

The insurance corporations and Big Pharma have managed to corral the most gullible, least educated and informed citizens of America, taking advantage of their inclination to rely only on the likes of Beck and Limbaugh and Fox "News" for all of their "information". Then they get these sincere but deeply deluded saps enraged enough over their falsehoods and lies to disrupt the democratic progress in order to thwart health-care reform that would benefit themselves and their families.

It's like masses of people rallying outside grocery stores to demand higher food prices. Or Joe the Dopy Plumber complaining about Obama tax plans that he would benefit from. With people who are so easily duped by continuous loud, phony, spittle-flecked outrage, the dark forces of the right can get them to say anything. I know! Maybe next they can go into our schools and colleges and shriek and scream to drown out the teaching of science. Hey, why not? Freedom of speech, remember?

Where did we ever get the crazy idea that bin Laden and his merrie band of cave-dwellers are the biggest threat to America? I see a much bigger threat, much closer to home.

4. The GOP *want* tens of millions relegated to ERs, or to affordable quacks.

And they want to be sure that the executive class are further enriched, while trying to convince us that our personal crises are mere anecdotes.

6. The GOP is against people being healthy. It hurts their profits. n/t
