One in Four Republicans Fears a ‘Death Panel’

Greg Sargent has the numbers from a forthcoming Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll that found only 43 percent of Republicans explicitly ruled out the conspiracy theory that “the health care reform plan being considered by President Obama and Congress creates ‘death panels’ which have the authority to subjectively determine whether or not a gravely ill or injured person should receive health care based on their ‘level of productivity in society.’”

Thirty-one percent are not sure whether such a proposal is in the bill; 26 percent think it is.

The appropriate question to be asked at this time is how many National Socialists (we can hardly call them “Democrats” any more now that it's clear that they're both a national party and explicitly socialists, nu?) fear Barry Soetoro's proposed “Death Panels.”

I would think that rather fewer Obamaphiles should fear “Death Panels” simply because their quality of life averages so low that for them the prospect of “democide” (death by government) is something of a relief.

More Republicans apparently have something to live for.
