Inconvenient Truths for GOP

On a day on which the House Republicans rallied with their "Teabaggers" in front of the Capitol, they were confronted with some inconvenient truths (my apologies to Al Gore):

1. Both the AMA and the AARP voiced their support for the Democratic health care plan. Immediately, Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) attacked both groups and their integrity.

2. Alan Grayson (D-Florida) gave a speech on the floor of the House in which he quoted the Harvard Study that reported 44,789 Americans die each year because they have no health insurance. When Mr Grayson began listing how many constituents die in each Republican District due to lack of health insurance, House Republicans spent over an hour trying a variety of procedural moves to stop him. After the delaying tactics, he was able to finish his speech.

3. The Polls indicate the American people favor health care reform.

These facts are quite inconvenient to a party trying to maintain the status quo.
