Subject: RE: BS: Republican response to Health Reform
I agree, Sinsull. I don't think that is a good idea either.

pdq, you are emblematic of the old saw, "figures don't lie, but liars figure". You know full well it depends on how the question is asked. For example, if asked whether the individual components, such as pre existing conditions, kids on their parents plan until 26, cost containment, then the numbers skew way in favor. The fact is that those numbers you quote are a direct reflection of the program of disinformation that was instituted by big money folks. Further, your numbers are prior to the vote. Since the vote there is a shift occurring. I would suggest that the real referendum will come in the next election. See you then.......

In the meantime we will be working on jobs, and on sensible restraints on the financial services industry. I can't wait to see how your Republican bosses try to paint that. But in the words of the great Christy Moore, at The Pointe in Dublin, "tough shit, Paddy".
