The Obama administration has launched a new Web site to battle what it calls "wild rumors" about the health care reform plans being pushed through Congress -- including an invitation for the public to tattle on any other "myths" they come across.

It comes a week after the White House asked the public to send in "fishy" information about health care reform.

The Web site, activated Monday, uses the same set-up as the "Fight the Smears" page the Obama campaign maintained last year to battle rumors seen as potentially damaging to his candidacy.

And oh, yeah, snitch on your fellow man section is included.

But the new site continues the effort to solicit information, featuring a "We Want to Hear From You" section which encourages readers to submit their "myths" for the White House team to address.

Two things I want an answer for:

1. If this plan is so gloriously great, why haven't...
2. The Dem House and Senate Majorities been able to make it happen?


We all know the answer, but are the Dem's honest enough to answer it?

Considering at least some republicans have made it clear they are opposing it to play politics with President Obama("Obama's Waterloo"), that would explain at least part of it. The other part is that congress is doing the right thing and taking it's time with a very complicated piece of legislation.
 
You make it sound like this period of "deliberation" was intended. :roll:

It was not intended by Obama, but too bad for him.

Why does the "Obama's waterloo" mean that they're doing it specifically to play politics with Preisdent Obama and not that they oppose the bill in principle and think that many people do and thus it will be damaging to Obama, thus his "waterloo"?

You should really try to come up with your own talking points. And not keep following the Obama line by Aping what he comes out with.

The opposition to the "Obama's I Don't Care About Your Health Care Kill Granny Plan" is now coming from both Republicans and Democrats all of whom have managed to read enough of this Socialist grabage to see that hey have been lied to by the Liberals in control of the house and Obama.
New polls say 32% Favor Single-Payer Health Care, 57% Oppose
54% Favor Middle Class Tax Cuts Over New Health Care
71% Say Obama’s Policies Have Driven Up Deficit
54% Oppose More Money for ‘Cash for Clunkers’ Program

This tells us Obama's lies are begining to fall on deaf ears.
Couple those numbers with the attacks carried out By DNC hired Union thugs and Obama's attempt to frighten people into silence by his turn in your friends ans neighbor policy and the wicked witch of the west calling honest citizens un-American and the desperation sort of leaps out you.
The white isn't out to battle lies or they'd shut the hell up. Their out to battle the truth with more lies like those they've been caught it that are causing them to to panic, with more National Socialist programs that were defeated in the past.

If they opposed the bill in principle they would not need to make up lies about it, the truth would be sufficient to scare people off.

Which is probably why you call any criticism of it at all a "lie."

Right. The Messiah and his cronies in the House wanted this bill crammed through before summer recess. Now his mindless flunkies out here in the sticks are pretending the delay is intentional. Too funny.

No, I call THESE lies, all addressed by the White House site and all promoted by the people you so vigorously defend.

reform will mean a "government takeover" of health care or lead to "rationing."

reform would encourage or even require euthanasia for seniors

reform will affect veterans' access to the care they get now

health insurance reform will hurt small businesses.

Health Insurance Reform would be financed by cutting Medicare benefits.

reform will force you out of your current insurance plan or force you to change doctors


If you object to health care reform on "principle", why do you spread lies like these?

Oh?

Whom do I "vigorously defend," where have I done it, and which of them -- specifically -- said these things, knowing them to be untrue?

Besides, you bring these up as though they're the only criticisms offered. Either you know they're not, making YOU a liar, or you're just plain uninformed.
 
well, something is needed to counteract the ridiculous claims being made by palin and co.......unfortunately, i'm not sure most of THAT base can navigate the internet.
 
1. waxman/rangel fines individuals caught uninsured

2. it forces folks to fend for themselves, they must buy that which they can't afford in the first place

3. it significantly steepens the cost curve upwards

4. it covers illegals

5. it funds abortion on demand

6. it looks for huge savings in end of life costs

7. it cuts a half billion from medicare and medicaid

8. the prez hasn't read it, doesn't know what's in it

9. it's foot in the door to further nationalization down the road

10. it places a surcharge tax on individuals over 250G and couples over 350

11. it taxes employers 8% who refuse to play

12. in the senate, john kerry has proposed taxing med benefits

i have supplied links for all of the above on other posts in this fine forum
 
bingo. why lie?

Bush lied. Cheney lied. Palin lied. Rush is lying. Conservatives are lying.

Blah, blah, blah.

This is always your recourse when you're cornered. It's right up there with I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?

That light at the end of the tunnel is a train. The stock market is jumping not because the economy is improving (unemployment is still horrible); it's because Obama's agenda is in trouble and capitalism is growing optimistic again.

It's tiime to abandon the childish tactics of the 60s, stop demonizing everything this country was founded on, and open your eyes to what is real, and what is propaganda. Heil, Obama!

They have to say its a lie, otherwise they'd have to think about what they're being ordered to support.

That's not a habit they're accustomed to.

The funny part is that they, Democrats, Party of Clinton, would ever complain about anyone lying.

Have you read the House Bill? If you have then you know what you posted as lies are really the truth.
 
A bill 1,000+ pages long that isn't clear in it's intent can be used by both sides for whatever they want.

Since the Dem's bill is so... ambiguous it's disingeniousness for either side to claim what is a lie and what is truth.

All the more reason to oppose this POS.

Hello? Come back to earth please. Critique is quite separate from responding to outright lies and distortions. As I keep saying, what does this say about your argument, or lack there of, when it is based almost entirely on Kill Granny lies, and other distortions? Can you not actually form any other response other than to lie?

Funny you should mention childish tactics, then go on to say "open your eyes to what is real, and what is propaganda. Heil, Obama!". Real mature, and real irony at its best.

Tell you what, maybe when you do not have so many complete morons that shamelessly lie, we won't have to mock them. Ever think of that?

And . . .

This speaks to what you quoted me on exactly how?

Nice hysterics, though.
