The Republicans might have gotten to the point where even my dad's old friend Nat, the most right-wing crazy, gun-toting, racist asshole I've ever met, would say: Huh? He was interviewed this morning on NPR, and he made no sense. While screaming that government shouldn't be in the business of health care, he was trying to protect Medicare. Medicare is government-run health care. Listen or read and tell me, does this make sense to you?
With Ted Kennedy dead, perhaps the Democrats might get their act together and pass health care reform just as the Civil Rights Act was passed in the wake of his brother JFK's death. Read Josh Marshall's post on talkingpointsmemo.com.
George Lakoff, the linguist who has been trying to get the Democrats to counter the language of the right, has an interesting article on how to frame health care on truthout.org.
