Democrats Send Out Phony Tearjerker Letters
Yet another example of the Democrat Party using lies to yank on heartstrings:
An Oakland County [Michigan] Democratic Party official used interns to send falsified letters to Republican county commissioners in order to persuade them to vote for a health care resolution, according to a commissioner who received one of the letters.
Shelley Taub, R-Bloomfield Township, said she received a letter on July 9 from an unidentified woman from West Bloomfield Township who said she felt that she failed as a mother because she couldn't afford health care for her ill son.
"I got this letter and it tore my heart apart," Taub said. "When I read that this woman thought she was a failure as a mother because she couldn't provide health care, I thought, 'My God, I can do that. I know so many people (in health care). I'll get this kid help.' "
Taub and her husband searched for information about the woman, found out that she actually lived in Fraser, so Taub called the home phone number and left a message.
Taub said she received a phone call that night from the mother of the woman who sent the letter who informed Taub that her daughter was not married and is a student at the University of Michigan.
The woman who sent the letter explained to Taub that she had recently finished an internship with the Oakland County Democratic Party in Bingham Farms, Taub said. The woman said she and two other interns were given sample letters and told to modify them, change the return address and send them out, Taub said.
You almost can't blame them for being so fake; without false advertising, who in their right mind would buy what liberals have to sell?

It worked with Mediscare and Social Security, so why not with this?
Some troll around here was complaining of the misinformation and dirty tricks pulled by the GOP. I'm afraid conservatives are pikers compared to the Dims. Definitely a 'no contest', the Dims win hands down (down inside my wallet usually).

What's pathetic is that she actually fell for it. So many Republicans legislators fall for this crap, which is why the party is in the shape it's in.

The same morons that fall for the "Manufactured Victim - We are the only cure" ploy that the liberals use time after time and they always fall for...NO ONE (except liberals) ever claimed they were smart.

Let me tell you a REAL story. Two years ago just as my father was turning 86 he was diagnosed with Multiple Myaloma (bone marrow cancer). The Drs told him not to expect a very good prognosis as he was after all 86 years old. So he told the Drs where they could park it and found an oncologist willing to treat him. He was on weekly chemo for an entire year, after which the Dr told he was not in remission but he was CANCER FREE. He is now 88 and still going strong! I have no doubt that if he had had to go by the"recommendation" of some government board he would now be face up in the dirt condo.

Further proof, if any were needed, that Reds have no shame. None.

They would still be in business, except one writer slipped up and signed it "The Minister of Finance to His Exilency, the President of Kenya".

With all due respect to young Shelley, her bullshit detector should be recalled. When something is just so convenient for the Reds, you've got to wonder if it's authentic.
It'd be like someone claiming that James Madison (the key drafter of the Constitution) had written a letter saying that the controlling principle of the Constitution was "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." A little too convenient, unless of course it came from an "unimpeachable source." /g
