I know this video is making a point through humor, but at the same time it is hard to tell how low the opposition to reform will go to scare the bejesus out of people. It also occurs to me that most of the people who are our representatives are actually ordinary people like you and me who have run for office for some reason that is beyond me.
The legislation that they pass will actually apply to their own families, their friends, their acquaintances, those that work for them, those they know and love. They are human beings after all. Yes, even the Democrats are human beings, although lately I'm not entirely sure about that with respect to the Republicans.
The scare tactics, the lies, the distortions have been used to manipulate us before. Many of us believed a number of members of the Republican party when they were in power, trusted that they were being truthful with us, giving us reliable and factual information in order to determine whether we support what they think is the right course of action.
Think Iraq!
It's kind of like that expression, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, except that if it sounds too outrageous to believe, then it probably is just that.
