Republican Cognitive Dissonance

Politics is a funny thing. It is starting to become clearer why the Republicans hate the Democratic led healthcare reform bill. There is simply too much that they agree with. It is cognitive dissonance that is causing their brains to rebel when faced with something they can't imagine seeing. Simply the bill is exactly what they want.

Republicans are totally against the healthcare bill. This seems illogical because the Democrats put a bunch of Republican ideas and took out stuff that the Republicans really hatted. The bill even ensures that insurance companies make more money by mandating insurance - making it pro big business! It even makes a bunch of Republican cronies happy. In other words, it is exactly what Republicans wanted.

Like pseudoscience in a science museum store, the Republicans can't vote for something that the president or most Democrats appear to like (even though they really don't as you can tell because Michael Moore hates it too).

One more hint... Why haven't the Republicans submitted their own healthcare reform bill? It is obvious, it would look like the Democrat bill and the whole charade would be blown. So you see, like tutus (you know, ballerina fluff)  in a Banana Republic, suddenly we have two things that are not like one another (i.e. the creator's signatures on identical bills).
