In a recent Republican National Committee mailer titled “2009 Future of American Health Survey," there is one alarmingly hilarious question you might have missed:

"It has been suggested that the government could use voter registration to determine a person's political affiliation, prompting fears that GOP voters might be discriminated against for medical treatment in a Democrat-imposed health care rationing system. Does this possibly concern you?"

No, really, that was the question. And while it has all the basic ingredients of funny-because-it's-true, it does lack that certain Palinesque flamboyancy we've come to expect from the RNC, an oversight that I'd like to correct now with a little re-write:

"It has been suggested, here, at this moment, that as a registered Republican American, you will be dragged before a Gestapo death panel and shot a certain number of times as determined by your attending Nazi-imposed - oops, I mean Democrat-imposed - death physician. Does that sort of thing make you cry eagle's blood or what?"

Or, to Kevin Nealon it up a little:

"It has been suggested (paranoia) that the government (Nazi president) could use voter registration (brown shirts) to determine a person's political affiliation (Mussolini), prompting fears that GOP voters (patriots) might be discriminated against (death panels) for medical treatment in a Democrat-imposed (abortions) health care rationing system (killbots). Does this possibly concern you (assault weapons)?"
