From Political Wire, Frank Luntz's GOP guide to undermining Health Care Reform.
If Frank want's to publish his propaganda playbook, by all means. It's important to point out that public policy polling supports a robust public option and if Democratic so called "centerists" listen to this made to order sciency briefing they are following the same pied piper that got us into the Iraq War, Budget Defecits, and all the W and GOP policy failures emanated from the pen of either Frank Luntz, Karl Rove, Dick Morris, or Bill Kristol or all of them simultaneously. These are the guys that sunk the GOP in to a 25% approval rating.
The people want a pro-consumer Health Bill, stay the course in the Legislative Process and next week Obama needs to blow-up these bullshit talking points and asset his commitment to the pro-consumer, cost-cutting, health improving biggest public option implemented along with all of those other reforms as close to 2010 as possible. Remember Blue Dogs this is the same guy that told Bush to pursue the privatization of Medicare, he's ineffective and has been leading people off of cliffs for over ten years now. The Democratic Party and Obama's fortunes are tied together and we rise and fall as one. Don't let the GOP and Joe Lieberman exploit any of the rifts in our strongly melded caucuses. Teeing up a Health Reform Bill that is badly needed and desired not only to cover the uninsured and improve medical outcomes but to reign in the deficit and not swinging or not swinging hard enough and/or not getting the most bang for the consumers buck is the biggest political mistake you could ever make in your career.
There is a tiny window for success or failure and history will remember those who stepped up to the challenge and delivered for working families instead of MegaCorporations for once, and the voters will know that, remember those who fought for them and reward that commitment to the people. Those on the wrong side of history will stay in their 25% popularity hole. This is what's known as a "no-brainer". It cuts the deficit, it stops redactions and pre-existing conditions, the people will love it so long as they are not funneled into more corporate controlled bins without the choice of a public plan. If the Democrats fail the people, they will lose the Congress, if they are strong and don't mind the lawyers for the staus quo they will rightly retain their position.
