Healthcare DVD to 250,000 Senior Households

There are ten thousand ways of marking the difference between the Republican smear attacks and the Democrats policy arguments. This is only the latest.

Greg Sargent at TalkingPointsMemo sets it up for us.

In an unusual move, one of the largest unions supporting Barack Obama is blitzing some 250,000 senior households in the battleground states with a 13-minute DVD that’s solely devoted to attacking John McCain’s health care plan in a level of detail that far outdoes your typical direct mail piece. …

The DVD — whose existence was previously known about but hadn’t reached reporters yet — offers a very detailed policy critique of McCain’s plan. It watches like a documentary, with footage of McCain and lots of interviews with ordinary voters about their health care problems. It also digs deep into the record to accuse McCain of voting against seniors’ interests on health care in multiple ways.

Words for Acts

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies. From these proceed debt and taxes. And armies, debts and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few...No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

James Madison, 1795
