In an RNC fund-raising email sent out today, chairman Michael Steele claims that Senate Democrats passed health care reform “in the dark of night on Christmas Eve.”
But that’s another fib from the embattled chairman. Health care reform passed the Senate by a vote of 60 to 39 at about 7:15 on Christmas Eve morning.
To be fair, sunrise that day wasn’t until about 10 minutes later. But that’s certainly not the “dark of night.”
From the email:
I hope you’ll continue your support of this final effort to stop the Democrats’ socialist power grab by making a secure online gift of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 to the RNC today.
Over the holidays, Harry Reid was able to coerce and payoff enough Democrat Senators to pass his 2,000 page healthcare monstrosity in the dark of night on Christmas Eve.
