Frame the debate: the GOP are anti-healthcare.
Edited on Fri Aug-07-09 06:27 AM by ColbertWatcher
I've decided I'm going to call the astroturf, corporate-funded, GOP-controlled-media darlings the "anti-healthcare" movement.

They don't care about healthcare, they're only concerned about profit-making.

And not even their own profits! The turfer sleeper cells are yelling and screaming not to protect or better their own situation, but to line the pockets of these bastards!

They don't care if people die or are injured; they are anti-healthcare.

And they can go fuck themselves.

2. Here's an interesting article I read this morning.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124958049241511735.html

Divide and rule, the politician cries; unite and lead, is watchword of the wise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

3. Time for some more attack ads.
Make it a montage starting with sneering guys in suits smoking cigars and handing big wads of cash to each other, cut with clips of Glenn Beck & Rush Limbaugh saying things that come close to advocating violence, cut with clips of rabid, frothing astrobirthers screaming at the camera and having to be held back by police.

Follow that with the caption "Is this the America you want to live in?"

5. And a voice-over that says, "Let's take healthcare away from the people who hate health." n/t

10. Don't like it
too neutral. Need something more in keeping with the vileness of the agenda of the "Party of NO". "Anti-health care" is just too non-descriptive of the true nature of the GOP.

12. I don't know that most of them
are even anti-healthcare. I think most of them are simply, hatefully anti-Obama, at any cost.
