Is it okay for government to decieve the public to get laws passed?

And that, of course, is why the law’s opponents spent so much time talking about death panels instead of describing the law accurately.

Sure. For which they were vilified on this board. And I agreed with that vilification:

This is part of my recent thinking about whether US conservatives have any morals. Even if you think that UHC or the proposed bill are a bad idea, shouldn’t you be repulsed by your side using such sleazy tactics? Instead, conservative are cackling with delight that Palin found such a good way to oppose UHC and want to reward her with a chance to run for President. A news organization has hired her, knowing that she lied.

What has happened to the America I grew up in?

I agree with this sentiment.

So where’s the discussion now about morals?
