This week, some registered Republican voters in Colorado received a survey from the RNC entitled "2009 Future of American Health Care." With health care reform dominating the headlines, it's only natural that the Republican party would want to hear more feedback from their supporters.
The authors of this survey, however, seem completely unconcerned with what Republican voters actually think about healthcare. Loaded with purposefully leading questions and factual inaccuracies--including an inference that reform plans might discriminate against Republicans--this survey is little more then a poorly-disguised fundraising pitch that tries to capitalize on the confusion surrounding the healthcare debate.
(In particular, check out questions #3, #4, #5, #6....er, perhaps give the whole doc a read)
Perhaps if the RNC truly cared about the voices of Colorado Republicans, they would engage them in thoughtful dialogue at town hall meetings instead of stooping to such misleading and fear-mongering tactics.

I don't see the conspiracy you are referring to, perhaps I'm missing something, but the questions, even the ones you point out seem alright to me
This form is OK. These are simple questions with no hidden agenda. DO you really think that the RNC doesn't care about healthcare?
I don't think so. Healthcare can use some changes but not the radical changes that are suggested and included in HR3200. It is a real shame that people can't get together and knock around idea's to come to a meeting of minds. If these congressman and senators were a corporate entity they would all be out of business.

These looked like straight forward questions to me. Something I'd like to hear more about. What is the rush. If reform is really the goal lets see some honest debate. It should begin with actually reading the bill.
I just want to make one point clear: The present healthcare reform being presented now may,in it's present state may sound and look like a beautiful picture and song but,do you not see changes being made to the system say,five,ten years from now? What I see coming is exactly what we have now. You do know that this program will not be free,right? It is going to cost so much money,from the start, no less; Our gov'ment is not going to be able to afford the cost. Healthcare reform itself is going to eliminate millions of jobs.The basic paper work you'll have to fill out just to see a doctor is a nightmare.One mistake or omission will set your appointment back even further.{you will have to fill out new forms}. Please,don't take this the wrong way-I want everyone to have access to health care. I am perplexed as why my own party hasn't presented a different plan.And there has to be a better plan.I don't trust the president when he says it will pay for itself. The same was said about medicare and medicaid. Look at how long those programs have operated in the red.How far do you think national H/C will go?
So typical of the SEIU..... What's the matter SEIU..are these questions too tough to understand for your members?
Here's the quote from the article....
"Perhaps if the RNC truly cared about the voices of Colorado Republicans, they would engage them in thoughtful dialogue at town hall meetings instead of stooping to such misleading and fear-mongering tactics."
Thank god we have the crooked bunch of thugs at the SEIU to tell the RNC what to say and how to act.
Is this the same type of thoughful dialogue that the purple shirted SEIU members displayed when they beat the hell out of the man at a meeting?
Talk about misleading and fear-mongering...SEIU takes the lead in that.
I don't see any problem with these questions. They aren't misleading, they aren't trying to hide truth. They do seem to be suggesting fear in this system, and that fear is justified. Look at all the things going on with this administration, and it isn't a long leap to think that health care will be rationed, based on political reasonings. Not sure what I mean, take a look at the efforts to shut down conservative talk radio.
