Reply #29: Not surprising, is it?

These creeps will stoop to any level to make the case for their twisted POV.

That said, this wasn't the best battle to choose to lead off a campaign for health care reform. Trying to lead with a non-means tested health care benefit has left them vulnerable to attack, and they should have known this from the beginning.

They could have chosen a number of other categories of desperate uninsured to cover, e.g. people with cancer. It would have been much easier to make the case publicly, but Dems felt the price tag for providing coverage was too high.
