..."2009 Future of American Health Survey."

..."It has been suggested that the government could use voter registration to determine a person's political affiliation, prompting fears that GOP voters might be discriminated against for medical treatment in a Democrat-imposed health care rationing system. Does this possibility concern you?"

1. Not true

but sounds good to me. lol

[mrcheerful]

2. Some more of that good old republicon blame dems for the crap we are doing

projection they do.

3. Heh. They might deny us what we don't want

Somehow, this reminds me that the punishment for truancy is suspension.

He won't come to school, eh? Then we'll throw his ass out! That'll learn him.

4. There are times when I wish their worst fears would come true

Then at least they'd have a reason for their screeching.
But this idea is even stupider than their usual shit. Of course they could be projecting again.

5. I love how they say COULD as though it will actually happen.

Like "some people say" to make the next statement have some kind of validity.

Get real idiots, if anyone tried that there would be the firestorm of lawsuits and court decisions declaring it illegal.

6. RNC only knows how to ramp up fear. The entire party can't come up with a single idea.

9. No, they also know how to cut taxes, start wars, cut benefits...

[Emit]

7. Such fear-based motivations from right wingers

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. Practically speaking, though, we should at least deny them viagara. nt

10. Well, most of them are against health care reform, so what difference does it make?

If they can afford health care now, they can keep it.

If they don't have it, and they support the GOP's agenda, obviously they don't want it or feel they aren't entitled to it, so what's the difference? :shrug:

Hypocrites, much?

[Kingofalldems]

11. They lie about everything.

15. They're utterly shameless. NT

[Jokerman]

We don't register party affiliation in this state.

So we'll just have to find another way to punish those dumb bastards for voting republican.

:sarcasm:

12. Projection. (Only a further-right-than-fascist party could invent such a regime.)

Disgustingly indicative of the kind of crap they'd do because "THEY would do it to us!!" (Conjecture and supposition as a substitute for reality and evidence.)

That rationale (preemptive codependency) is far too common in partisan politics, and prevalent on the right.

13. "There's a chance

that aliens made of rubber could come to this planet and force you to live in caves. Does this concern you?"
About as valid a question!

14. OMG they're onto us

and our nefarious plan to take away Rush Limbaugh's party pills

[gkhouston]

16. Well, I can see they'd be worried about the mental health benefits...

they're probably already running up against the lifetime maximums. }(

17. More on the same topic

I just chatted with Raymond Denny, the 64-year-old La Center, Wash., man who received the RNC’s “2009 Future of American Health Survey,” which alleged that President Obama’s health reform plans might discriminate against Republicans. Here’s the survey question:



“I’ve been getting these things for years,” said Denny, who opened the letter with his wife Louise, “getting them from the Republicans, getting them from the Democratic Party, usually with the wrong name on it. This thing says I’m a sustaining member. They word these things to solicit the answer they wanted. This one here we looked at and said, “Wow, that’s way beyond the pale of what should be done.”
