Republicans raising cash to counter-program ABC Obama special
CNN) — National Republicans — miffed over ABC News' decision to broadcast a primetime special next featuring President Obama making the case for his healthcare proposal — are looking to raise $100,000 to hit the airwaves with their own health care reform proposal.

"ABC News will be promoting Obamacare at virtually every opportunity, from 'Good Morning America' to 'Nightline,' and reach from ABC News' Web sites all the way to the White House's East Room," Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele writes in an e-mail titled "URGENT" to supporters Thursday.

"Please help us raise the nearly $100,000 we need to buy air time to get the truth about the disastrous consequences of the Obama Democrats' government-run health care plans out to the American people," he adds.

3. Wow...these clowns are great.
On another note, I wonder if this is Obama taking a stand for some people. Maybe it's still not enough.

4. Why do they hate this idea so much?
Infinite money for war, no money for domestic spending to make lives better.
