Because it's better for any number of Americans to lose their lives due to a lack of adequate health care than to risk making Obama and the Democrats look good, these Republicans are grasping at yet another straw to avoid passing health insurance reform.

The yahoos at Yahoo! are highlighting this steaming pile of Politico crap on their main page today.

Did the Swiss get a Fox News channel, or something?

Talking Points Memo reports on a DailyKos poll which makes me almost as mad at spineless Democratic voters as I am at brainless Republican ones. Grow up, people. Rupert Murdoch* and Richard Mellon Scaife** are still more than willing to destroy your dreams.

* Employer of Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Believes Obama made racist statements somewhere, sometime, although unable to actually quote them.

** Bankrolled the Arkansas Project, which led eventually to the impeachment of Bill Clinton for being a Democrat for lying under oath. Was dubbed the 'funding Father of the Right' by the Washington Post in 1999.
