The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is raising money on a survey created by the Republican National Committee, which alleges that GOP voters will be denied care in a reformed health system.
"[T]he RNC is actually suggesting that health insurance reform is a Democratic plot to deny health care to Republicans using voter registration data," reads a letter to supporters.
[I]t is just a preview of the falsehoods, fabrications and outright lies Republicans will be pushing when Congress returns in September. We must be prepared to fight back hard and respond immediately to these outrageous attacks.Help us reach our $100,000 goal before the August 31st FEC deadline.
H/T Glenn Thrush.
An RNC spokesperson yesterday admitted it was "inartful" to suggest that health care providers would, either voluntarily or by act of law, deny health care to Republican voters--an allegation that the AMA also swatted down.

The Democrats should note that Republicans have more to gain with health care reform by the provisions strengthening access to mental health services.

If this sounds like a picayune point, I apologize in advance.
But until they actually raise money, why not describe it as "Dems trying to raise money", and so on. Same question for the Vitter story.

Unfortunately, most DCCC money will be going to defend the seats of Blue Dogs, who are allying themselves with Republicans to water down health care reform to please their contributors from the insurance industry.

Blue Dogs though they are, I suspect the Republicans would be far worse on every other count.
