Hold on. Ambitious and corrupt centrist democrats who are presumably in the pockets of industry lobbyists are the problem now, not ill-informed conservative wingnuts?
What percentage of the 70-80% of Medicare recipients who are in favor of the program are also part of the 65% of the 95% who believe taxes should be raised to help support the program? Tangentially related, do you have any idea what percentage of Medicare recipients are suffering from some form of dementia?
What worries me is that there's a whole lot of shouting without a whole lot of substance. They claim that health care reform is a call for a socialist nanny-state. We claim that the arguments against it are based on ignorance or corruption. I think there might be some fact-based middle ground to play on somewhere between FOX News polemic and the parody of The Daily Show.
