Brown-Waite’s Shot In GOP’s ‘Scare Tactics’ Strategy: Health Reform Tells Seniors To ‘Drop Dead’

Last week, ThinkProgress noted that the right-wing had escalated its fearmongering rhetoric on health care, with multiple Republican members of Congress saying that Americans would die if health reform passed. “Absolutely,” replied Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) when asked if “government-run health care” will “end up killing more people than it saves.”

On the House floor yesterday, Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL) became the latest conservative to claim reform would kill people. “Last week Democrats released a health care bill which essentially said to America’s seniors: drop dead,” said Waite.

3. brilliant...with a small b....congresswoman...with a small letter c..

Nice try you old coot. First off....either take a few reading classes, or possibly preread your insane propaganda before you try to spew it. It might make you look a bit more intelligent.

Secondly, you are simply full of shit. I realize all those rich OLD farts migrate to Florida as they prepare their wills...but I'm going to also bet they are smarter than that. If you are going to represent these folks down there, then at least do an honest job for them. YOU are their last hope. What a major let down.

4. I keep hearing this

*seniors will die* under Dem's Health care plan! My question to these HATE Filled Money Grubbing LIARS IS... WHO will pay for their care IF this plan doesn't happen? WHO pays for them NOW? (like many hospitals NOW are dumping the elderly who have NO MONEY to BUY Insurance or PAY for treatment)WHICH Insurance company in existence today will provide FREE/nominal payment for the elderly ( which most likely already have some sort of PREexisting medical issue and living off SS...Government JEWEL!!!!)????????? Medicare? Medicaid? Gee...Which one??? The elderly NOW are in much trouble because of these WHORES!!!! THEY don't care!:mad:

7. I hope more bat-shit crazy republicans spout this shit

Indeed!

Because the poll numbers have fallen slightly, the Repugs think the are on top and on a roll! They think they're winning!

This is why they keep spouting out the stupidest, dimwitted lies since the Election. Keep shouting them from the rafters! The 75% who want health care are listening and not buying it.

6. Well, Ginny, if that's the only way we can get you out of congress......

All fear smear, all the time.
