| The California GOP's fake health care website


http://www.jimhightower.com/node/8248#.UvUHR_ldW_B

In this wicked world of woe, there are hucksters,
 flimflammers, plain ol' crooks… and Republican members of the California Assembly.
This last bunch of scoundrels went out of their way to monkeywrench the rollout of President Obama's new health care law. Obama's computer geniuses were making a hash of the initial rollout in October, but the sign-up was finally smoothing out – and with any Obama success, GOP lawmakers automatically start tossing monkeywrenchs.
This time, the tool they tossed is a fake website created by California Republican legislators in August to look like the state's official health exchange site, where people can sign up to get coverage under the Affordable Care Act. 
When things finally got worked out on the national health care exchange in November, the Repubs mailed a pamphlet to their constituents, directing them to the decoy site, calling it a "resource guide" to "help" them navigate the ACA sign up process.
there are no limits to their deception, i think it speaks more about those who would vote for them, even if the only look at Fox if they have a computer or go outside they have to be exposed to other views 
if they choose to stick with the liars than again what does that say about them and their claims to Christianity, and Americanism which is obviously different from the majority who voted Pres. in twice, proof their rant about taking back their country which by default implies this isn't it.
Far from help, however, the faux site is a trap. It's filled with boilerplate Republican propaganda against the law, gimmicks to discourage viewers from even applying for the health care they need, and a rash of distortions and outright lies. There's so much bunkum on the site that its fine print includes a disclaimer saying they don't vouch for "the quality, content, accuracy, or completeness of the information" it provides.
The silliest thing about the lawmakers' blatantly political ploy is that even if it convinces some people to forgo the ACA's benefits, who does that hurt? Not Obama – but their own constituents! I know there's no IQ requirement to be a state legislator, but what were they thinking?
We can laugh at their low comedy, but if you're a California taxpayer, congratulations: You paid for the GOP's bogus website and mailings.
look at the daily news you see more stories of republican deception than anything else, this is a reality they are liars and they don't care if you know they think denial is their get out of jail free card, remember 2012 putting out false election dates and places after the voter blocked and gerrymandered and purged voter list.  that card now has an expiration date Nov. 4th 2014, if you care be there.
