playing us for a bunch of idiots

I've already forwarded this link around. The video pokes fun at right-wing scare talk about fixing the health care mess - you know, the corporate insurance extravaganza that is ravaging millions of families and keeping the economy down.



The video underscores the consistent refusal of the Republican Party to speak to the American people as if we are adults.

On a related note, State Senator Matt Murphy is apparently going to run for Illinois governor. Several months ago I asked Senator Murphy how he would balance the budget. His answer: tax cuts.

(I also asked about HB 311. After I explained that it was for single-payer health care, he said he was against it.)

  1. I was at a townhall for the families of disabled young adults where Murphy told them that disability services had to be cut and privatized. How do you tell your autistic 21 year old son that he cannot keep his job because the bus that gets him there and back will not operate? Murphy could care less, but I'll bet he'd be the first one to criticize the boy for not working.
