Medicare-Defending GOP Now Raising Money By Attacking “Government Run Health Care”


The national GOP is now raising money by attacking the idea of “government run health care,” even though party officials have spent this week defending the sanctity of Medicare and claiming reform could threaten that government-run program.

A source sends over a new fundraising email that went out from the National Republican Congressional Committee that attempts to rally rank-and-file GOPers by pointing to a new initiative by Nancy Pelosi to raise $100,000 to fight health care “smears.”

The NRCC email alludes to government run health care no less than three times.

Democrats are getting desperate, they are accusing Republicans of funding the very real, organic national opposition to government-run healthcare.…

Let’s match them dollar for dollar and let Nancy Pelosi and her puppets know that YOUR healthcare is YOUR decision-not the government’s.

The only way to stop government-run healthcare is to run Democrats out of the government.

This comes after national GOP officials have spent the week slamming health care reform as a threat to Medicare. During an NPR interview yesterday, RNC chair Michael Steele struggled to reconcile his description of Medicare as a “valuable program” with his claim that reform is a frightening “experiment” in “government run health care.”

Asked to reconcile the fundraising email with the party’s defense of Medicare, NRCC spokesman Paul Lindsay emailed: “The focus of the email is the fact that Americans are happy with their current healthcare plans and don’t want government limiting their choices with the massive takeover the Democrats have proposed.”

1. Is their "message" getting muddier and muddier, or is it just me?

:hi:

2. That's the problem. I do think they scramble daily to say something,

and not much of it makes sense.

:fistbump:

3. Call their bluff. We need to force them to vote to eliminate Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, and VA care.

We need to bring the issue up for a floor vote in both houses and let Americans see if they stand behind their bulls**t.
