Channeling FDR

More completely concocted hysteria from the GOP: Fundraising letter hints GOP health care at risk

While children and adults are dying or having their lives stunted by an insurance oligopoly Every. Goddamn. Day., THIS is the best you can do? Outright lies about death panels and suicide manuals and pulling the plug on Grandma, and now partisan-based health care?

The longer this drags on, the more I keep hearing the echo of FDR: "I ask you to judge me by the enemies I've made." If I and any number of progressives are making enemies willing to lie their faces off--and so preposterously--to keep the unwashed masses from crashing their gated community, I consider it a badge of honor.
