Schultheis Endorses Obama Plan

That's a tweet by Republican Senator Dave Schultheis, whose previous comments on healthcare reform included a suggestion that babies should be allowed to get HIV/AIDS in order to teach their promiscuous mothers a lesson.

Apparently he's had a change of heart and now endorses President Obama's health insurance reform plan. Which is odd, because just two days before he tweeted that "AARP is betraying Seniors by supporting Obama's sick healthcare plan," asking " Who says AARP is concerned for SRs?"

And just before that, referring to Members of Congress who support reform, he tweeted that "many congressmen probably went to public schools...thus...they can't read."

Well, Senator Schultheis has never been known for his even keel, but it is nice to see him come on board the Obama plan, even if for a moment.

Perhaps if the good Senator had gone to public school, he would have better comprehended the "Bible-believing Christian who loves Jesus" whose tweet he immediately parroted after endorsing the Obama plan: "RT @Mom4Freedom: Goto Obama Tweet Ur Senator site, tweet NO HC. B Sure 2 change form tweet 1st! Go get 'em. h ttp://bit.ly/37KBG #tcot #redco" (emphasis added).

What's clear when you follow the conversations that Senator Schultheis has on Twitter with fellow right-wing activists is that they don't want reform. Period. "NO HC" is the clarion call. Re-tweeting the Douglas County GOP, Schultheis says, "if thr rlly is a Fedral law which says hospitals cnt turn ppl away, let's get a legislator 2 change that ridiculous law ..."

The fact is that we need reform, and we need it now. Colorado, like the rest of the country, can not afford to wait. No matter what the health insurance lobby and Senator Schultheis (until recently) and the rest of the dwindling right-wing minority say.
