Republican politicians are so terrified by the prospect of Democrats taking permanent and irreversible stewardship over healthcare, just like they did with civil rights in the 60′s. Expanding access to health care for the poor and downtrodden in America is a “baseball bat” with which the Democrats can beat down on Republicans for years to come — and the “goon” GOP political machine knows this plenty well.

Look at it this way: If Republicans think that passing the healthcare bill will “hang” Democrats in the upcoming November elections — then, why are they working overtime to derail it? After all, the 2010 elections are just a few months away. Why not just let the Democrats self-destruct? Why the mighty mis-representations, mis-information and lies?

They know what’s in store for them if Obama signs this bill into law — as the “confused” gradually begin to realize that Sarah Palin’s “Death Panels” or Glenn Beck’s Communist verbiage are nothing but a pack of desperate LIES.

They might win more congressional seats this November, but after all has settled down, the EVIL and RACIST Republican scheming against healthcare will backfire on them — just like when they opposed civil rights, social security and Medicare legislations .

Dick Morris, Fox News’ FAT, despicable, fear-mongering LIAR — predicts “DOOM OF THE DEMS IN 2010,” — “a complete obliteration of Democratic congressional and Senate majorities.”

The always wrong Dick pegs Obama’s approval rating at 43% – by “Rasmussen polls,” a right-leaning polling tool often used by Republicans to cook up numbers — to help advance the right’s racist, extremist agenda.

FYI: Gallup which runs the most reliable of all political polls, has Obama at 52%, and other pollsters are within the same range.

Morris says he’s “100 percent positive” that Obama will create panels [DEATH PANELS] that will “[curb] medical care to the elderly”

Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee has unleashed a fundraising document which caricatures President Obama as the Joker, and, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.), as Cruella de Vil and Scooby-Doo, respectively. The three Democratic leaders were gathered under the heading “The Evil Empire.”

The racist-cartoonish images were part of a 72-page PowerPoint presentation assembled for potential campaign donors and fundraisers. The document was obtained by Politico after being left at a Florida hotel where the Republicans had gathered Feb. 18.

It looks like the lunatic tea-party haters have clearly taken over the Republican Party. [ READ MORE ]

It’s an extension of the race-baiting and, often, the outright racism evident in all of those conservative spheres. [ READ MORE ]
