Think tank disputes premise that seniors who reject healthcare reform don't get it

The old saw that "you're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts" just doesn't seem to apply when it comes to healthcare reform.

A day after the National Council on Aging vowed to give seniors "straight talk" on the new law, the conservative National Center for Policy Analysis said seniors already get it — despite the findings of a poll commissioned by the council.

"Seniors know more than the people conducting the poll," said NCPA President John Goodman. "The answers that seniors are giving are more correct than the answers that the pollsters claim are right."

People are “wrong” because they say something different than the federal government about government programs. Amazing.

I'm a senior...64...and I "get it".

Here's the obamabots trying again to say that people who don't bend over and spread'em for their socialized medicine crap are stupid. They know one of the biggest blowbacks to their freedom killing bill is the seniors, and in no small way, their "death panels".

They seem to have rewound their tape and are back to using the same tactics as when obamacare was first proposed, and EXPOSED.

You got that right. All one has to do is listen to Rush or read any of then many publications that tell the truth about this bill. We are not going to be lied to any more!
