Republicans more responsible than Democrats

According to Rudy Giuliani:

"I suspect that our Democratic colleagues would get that question more often in a Democratic audience than we get in a Republican audience," he said. "Maybe more Democrats are concerned about their health care than Republicans, maybe because Republicans have health care or maybe Republicans generally like the idea of private solutions."

The real truth is something more like: some Republican voters don't ask about health care because their understanding of the problems with our health care system is damaged by the fact that their political leaders lie to them about it; another chunk of of Republican voters don't ask about health care because the system works fine for them; and yet another chunk of Republican voters don't ask about health care because--whether they want a responsible health care system or not--they're much more concerned that America approximate a religious war state than a secular welfare state. Something like that. What's not in dispute is the fact that the health care system in this country is an embarrassment, and any objective rendering of the problem lays bare the fact that Republican politicians are more interested in pandering on the issue than in genuinely trying to fix it.
