They Still Cheer for Death Panels

About this same time last year, Andy Harris, a rookie Republican Tea Bagger representative from Maryland, was complaining that his completely government-run health care program (just one of the perks for being a Member of Congress) wouldn't kick in fast enough.  Even though he ran on the platform of repealing access to health care for 32 million Americans, Harris couldn't get government-run health care for himself fast enough.

It's now been a year since Harris has soaked himself in a socialist health care program that is completely paid for by tax payer money.  But it's not been long enough for him to quit telling the very stupid lie that the Affordable Care Act has "death panels."  He knows it's not true.  But he also knows that's what the Republican base wants to hear.  They want to jump and shout and cheer for tough-guy talk about liberalsocialist takeovers and how Obama wants to kill your grandma or even your Down syndrome son.  They become giddy with excitement when one of their elected officials talks this way.
