what the Democrats are doing to their health care bill

Putting lipstick on a pig is insisting that the health care bill be written behind closed doors, using obfuscating language, making deals to buy votes

lipstick on a fascist pig

In politics, the use of lies, spin, compelling personal narratives, and other forms of propaganda to distract and mislead the voting public so that it may be manipulated into giving consent to violations of its own rights and interests by the perpetrating parties.

The candidate blathered on and on about the glory of his high school football days--clearly just more lipstick on a fascist pig.

lipstick on a pig

(a term originally used by the Democratic party to insult Sarah Palin during the US presidential campaign of 2008 because some of the -IMHO misogynistic- Democrats didn't like how much make make-up she was putting on)

overkill, when people go over and/or beyond their call of duty or responsibilities, or beyond acceptable socio -moral boundaries when doing something.

I support capital punishment as a principle for certain crimes and under certain conditions, and will not, under any circumstances, go lipstick on a pig and reject the principle of capital punishment itself because I hate lethal injection or lethal gas as a method of execution; I will simply state that IMHO such or such a method of capital execution (but not the idea of capital punishment itself) is absolutely inappropriate in modern society. Or, I might reject the use of capital punishment for a specific case, but not as a principle. The moral of the fable is, do not go lip lipstick on a pig and betray your own moral principles.
