A senior Democratic leadership aide told TPMDC in an interview the memo, obtained and printed by Politico and leading the Drudge Report this afternoon a few days ahead of the health care vote Sunday, is "a hoax."
At this point, nothing surprises me. It points to desperation on the part of GOP members who want to stop Health Care Reform at all costs. This tactic is not new for the GOP (on the anniversary on the Iraq invasion) who used lies about WMD to get us into a war. I hope that the originator of the Memo is tracked down.....
