PERRspectives: Fox News Poll Shows Success of GOP's Obamacare Lies
"Given the history of the Republicans' killer lies on health care, it's no surprise that Americans are confused about what Obamacare does, what it mean for them and the national budget. But like Politifact's 2009 Lie of the Year ("death panels") and 2010 Lie of the Year ("government takeover of healthcare"), Republican repetition of the claim that the Affordable Care Act will generate red ink doesn't make it any truer. But like the 2010 fraud that President Obama raised taxes or the sham that stimulus "made the economy worse" or any of the other myriad GOP claims which were "not intended to be a factual statement," millions of Americans deceived by Republican lies sadly it."
