I’m not sure what I think of this.

Part of me agrees that, as Dodd says, we should set the records straight. The other part of me feels that it’s a fools errand to even respond to the Republicans patently absurd claims that they have been shut out of the health care process. In fact, as Dodd points out, the act contains numerous Republican proposals, not one of which garnered a single Republican vote. Why, the Democrats even came up with compromises like the opt out and the trigger and all that other tripe, all on their own, to make the act more attractive to the zero Republicans who voted for it.

The Republicans have become very adept at the big lie. If you say something loud enough and long enough a fair number of people will believe it. Of course, it helps to have a fair and balanced TV network to reinforce the message.
