The Republican Party continues to pander to the most naive and highly exploitable voters. Its game plan is to spread false information designed to instigate small minds into a frenzy. “The president is not an American citizen; the president’s health care plan will lead to forced euthanasia; people will not be able to choose their own doctors; the president’s plan will lead to health care rationing; the government will determine which medical procedures a patient can have.” These are just a few examples of the rhetoric used to rile its base.
The facts of President Barack Obama’s birth must be addressed by his administration for the benefit of the lower end of the intelligence scale that believes a plot in Kenya over four decades ago created false birth records for Obama so he could someday run for president of the United States.
Other fraudulent claims by Republicans can easily be put to rest by citing facts that contradict their claims about pending health care legislation. Republican leaders do not believe the garbage they are directing at the “less informed” among us. How long will it take them to realize that their highly regarded “base” will soon consist of pea-brained, dimwitted voters and gullible, elderly widows?
If they keep it up they will need to rid themselves of the elephant symbol and adopt Pinocchio as their new icon.
