Mediamatters indicated the Frank Luntz, longtime Republican strategist and consultant appeared on ABC’s This Week program and told George Stephanopoulos that voters in Indiana, Nebraska, and Arkansas “do not want” health care reform because of “the cost to the deficit.”
Luntz is just following the standard mode of operation for Republicans these days: lying.
In a poll conducted October 27-28 56 percent of Arkansas residents support a public option.
In a poll conducted October 24-25 52 percent of Indiana residents support “the government offering everyone a government administered health insurance plan.”
In a poll conducted October 29-30 Nebraskans are split on the public option. When asked if they favored or opposed “the government offering everyone a government administered health insurance plan” 46 percent favored such a plan, while 44 percent opposed it.
“Contrary to Luntz’s claim that health care reform will increase the deficit, the Congressional Budget Office found that the House health care reform bill, the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R. 3962) “would yield a net reduction in federal budget deficits of $109 billion over the 2010-2019 period.”
and
The CBO also found the Senate Finance Bill would reduce the deficit by $81 billion over 10 years.
Lying has become a way of life for Republicans. They can not tell the truth.
