DeMint Falsely Claims Americans Don't Want More Government Involvement In Health Care

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) says "Americans don't want more government in health care"--which is true if you define 'Americans' as the 28-or-so percent of the population who don't want more government in health care.

Perhaps the Americans who don't want more government involvement in health care are the very same Americans who fled forced unionization in Pennsylvania and sought refuge in the South. On the policy question of government involvement in health care, there are a number of problems with DeMint's statement. But the public seems to have caught on to them.

Would you support or oppose having the government create a new health insurance plan to compete with private health insurance plans?

62% Support, 33% Oppose

More lies from the GOP? Well, at least they're consistent. It's now their tactic of first, last, and every resort.

I wonder if that has anything to do with the increasing majority of Americans who think the Republicans are full of crap.

Apparently, you all have forgotten the definition of who Americans are.

“We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, pro-America areas of this great nation. This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and are fighting our wars for us. Those who are protecting us in uniform. Those who are protecting the virtues of freedom.”

Real America is defined as those who are against health care reform and is, therefore, 100% behind the good Senator for South Carolina.
