Two hundred billion over 10 years, to be specific, meaning $20 billion per year, meaning two months' worth of war. Got priorities? “By conventional arithmetic, Democratic plans would drive up the deficit by billions of dollars.”

Two hundred billion over 10 years, to be specific, meaning $20 billion per year, meaning two months’ worth of war. Got priorities?

Where is our huge cabal of fucking bloodthirsty media "analysts" and pundits being treated like journalists? (Yes Republican dipshits, I know we have two fucking slightly liberal commenters. Bite me.) Where is our 24/7 bullshit spewing TV network? Where are our institutional liars and frauds dedicated to telling rich people how luck they are to live here while quietly passing health care reform while the GOP is on Spring break? Where are our warriors who have figured out how this shit works? DV,

For instance -- the "death panel" thing has been thoroughly debunked for weeks now. But this afternoon, I heard Rick Jensen work really hard at some new rhetoric -- that maybe they aren't "death panels" but they sure would work that way. (I hadn't changed my radio station when I went away for lunch). So maybe the label was wrong, but the fear that the government will pull the plug on grandma is still operational. At some point you do know. You just can't fit either the fact that it was a lie or that something is not as fearsome as advertised into your ideological view.

It's certainly true of the majority of the town hallers. As for the elected officials, I'd like to point out that there is no intelligence test to pass for elected office. There were some frighteningly dim bulbs sitting in that chamber last night. You might be right. It’s certainly true of the majority of the town hallers.

They've heard this incessent spewing so often and with such furor, they've been fooled/brainwashed into believing it's true. Really, think of how this evolved from special-interests into the majority of the right-wing office holders. It wasn't overnight, it took persistence.
