I merely pointed out that the Republican rhetoric involving Medicare is historically inconsistent with their position on Medicare and this specifically true of Senators and Representatives who are recorded saying contradictory things. I think in the political world it's called pandering to voters. I wasn't aware I was promoting propaganda as I am a pro-life Democrat that opposed the final health care bill. Moreover when did I say that the Catholic Church in America is a branch of the Democratic Party? Quite obviously you didn't read anything I said and decided to comment to go on a soapbox for the sake of doing so. Lawrence,

To call this a fact check site is hypocrisy of a high degree when you post such slanted Democrat Party propaganda. I have spent many hours,way to many, studying the health care bill in its various versions. Public Law No: 111-148 is the final result signed by Obama. This was never about health care but about government control of one sixth of the economy. When did the Catholic Church in America become a branch of the Democrat Party?
