Informing the public about the planned spin and lies with which they are being targeted might be a vaccine form of journalism. The talking points memo reveals a very manipulative mindset.

It seems the current insurance companies are the very boogie man that the repubs are trying to claim our government would be.

As with all things Republican these days, it is truly a marvel to see them reflexively turn every single time to their Rovian toolkit of debunked lies, obfuscation, and projection, to hoodwink the American people into rejecting Healthcare Reform.

So there you have it, the GOP 10-point plan to healthcare insanity. Watch out for a kindler gentler Republican psycho-therapist, complete with refurbished toupees, to tell you that what ails you is BAD GUBMINT, not unaffordable and poor quality healthcare. The GOP, as always is ready to hawk you the latest warmed over cow patties? Do you like them Rare, Medium or Well done? Fries with that?

Fries with lies?
