Finally, a voice of reason emerges, but no one seems to be listening: George Lakoff has this short take on what Dems need to do to take back the “debate.” His points:
- Name the villain: insurance companies that are doing exactly what the screamers are saying “reform” will do.
- What has failed is insurance company health care.
- Ask: Who’s had to wait for an authorization for care? Who’s been denied authorization by insurance companies? Who has lost their insurance?
- Change “public option” to the “American plan” (Are you for the American plan or not?)
- Insurance companies spend 20-30% of premiums to deny you care.
Hmmm, no talk of killing Grandma or my personal favorite: promoting “gender confusion” by pushing sex change operations!
Lakoff also had a interview on Minnesota Public Radio. The sad thing is that the truth does not seem to be an option.
