1. Another day, another pack of lies from conservatives. What a surprise

How can people keep swallowing this shit?

2. Pre-emptive smearing of government health policy. Too bad she is

smearing a policy and a government position created under the bUsh administration. Guess she is warming the crowd up for the fight against government provided universal health care.

3. Stephanie had some insight in to her background

Not to attack the messenger and not the message- KO did that well as did this article I posted a few days ago

Betsy is not only a tool, she is also a whack job-for real

5. K&R for GOP Propaganda Watch-- Betsy McCoy begging for corporate funding

to kill the next round of efforts to reform the cruel U.S. medical-care-for-profit system. SHe's starting early.

Betsy McCoy was also involved in killing Clinton's attempts to give Americans a less frightening, more equitable healthcare system.

I'm glad Keith shined a spotlight on Betsy McCoy, so when we see her trying all kinds of angles to defeat our desperate attempts to de-privatize our system, we will know from whence she comes. Bought and paid for by for-profit medical corporations.

Betsy feeding Drudge and Rush horror stories about the government interfering at the patient's bedside-- those stories should also feature Republicans dashing to interfere with Terry Schaivo's treatment.
