Does Michael Steele Understand that Medicare is a government program?

[question everything]

From a WSJ column trying to tell the Republicans to stop being the party of NO:

"Indeed, in one sign of the GOP's disjointed message on health, national party Chairman Michael Steele published in Monday's Washington Post a piece that opens by objecting to Democrats' plans for a "government-run health-care system" -- and then proceeds to object, at length, to proposals to curb Medicare, which is, after all, the biggest government-run health system in the land."

1. I'm starting to wonder if there is some grand GOP scheme behind all this "stoopid."

For the life of me, I can't figure out how it benefits them to come across with their every breath as complete fools and idiots.

2. Steele must talk on the phone every day to Sarah Palin.

With Michele Bachman listening in.

3. Lets back up a second and rethink your opening line.

The assertion that Michael Steel in any way thinks is simply a falsehood, proven over and over and over again.

4. OK. Had he been capable of a simple thought or of an original message

he would not be the chair.


Expressing opinions are limited to Limpdick and Palin.

5. Michael Steele, like most conservatives

and republicans, is a liar.

6. Will someone tell the Faux-brainwashed masses that if they hate government health care so much

They should volunteer to rid themselves of that evil government plan called Medicare. :eyes:

7. Right. And I have to give it to the twitting Senator - Claire McCaskill

who, at her town hall meeting, first asked how many were on Medicare - and many arms were raised. Then, she asked: how many are willing to give it up... to a deafening silence.

8. That dude is all kinds of stupid

[question everything]

10. No one ever told him that he was going to be the Republican's

"answer" to Obama - they cannot think beyond skin depth - and he was supposed to just show up and smile, when told to do so, and keep his mouth shut.

9. He's just capitalizing on stoopid.

He's not that dumb; he's that dishonest.
