"He cited a claim made famous by Palin that the Democratic health care bill would create 'death panels' to decide whether elderly or sick people should get care.
'There were no death panels in the bill ... and to encourage that kind of fear is just the lowest form of political leadership. It's not leadership. It's demagoguery,' said Inglis, one of three Republican incumbents who have lost their seats in Congress to primary and state party convention challengers this year."

GOP capitulating to demagoguery--says defeated GOP candidate
To which the entire progressive community says "duh." I am glad to see this coming from a Republican, and this one sounds like a grownup Grownup Republican--the likes of which I was starting to think was as rare as the Yeti. But the trend is still very bad. Read the article, and you see that he is quite convinced that his loss came from his unwillingness to bash Obama and his interest in reaching across the aisle. I have Republican friends who still talk about bi-partisanship, and that is fine, but this is the base of the other party that Obama and other reasonable people are supposed to work with. People, I might add, who love the idiocy (still too nice of a word) of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin

hussein obama cannot be compromised with. He is destroying the country. Never had a good idea in his worthless life.
Go away, racist idiot.
I read about this at a newspaper's site. It might have been the Washington Post. The interestign things was the comments at the end of thwe article by a bunch of Tea Ba...er Party idiots.
Just because this CONSERVATIVE Republican dared to say something that called for civility he was bashed as a RINO, traitor, scum, on and on. The sooner all Republicans nominees become Tea freaks the better, then their pounding at the polls can begin and the Tea Party will fade away.
