Michael Steele and the Republican National Committee sent out a “Health Care Survey” which included this question, which is a ludicrous piece of fear-mongering:
“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?”
Does Michael Steele really think something like that would happen in America? Would this apply only to registered Republicans? What would happen to independents? What about registered Republicans who pull the lever for a Democrat? Or Democrats who cross over? What about people who split their ballot? And would the courts, despite all the voting rights laws, remain silent? How exactly would Michael Steele’s dark conspiracy/fantasy work? Or is he just trying to scare gullible people?
I’m okay with bias. I’m okay with opposing something you don’t believe in. I’m okay with stating your opinion. It’s untruthfulness that gets my goat.
