Dec 2012

you losing your seat in the U.S. Senate. Compare the two next time you want to know just how painful it can be.

And as for there being "no deal" without victorious Democrats bowing their heads to the losers of this election and loyal social safety net haters, it's better to have NO deal rather than accepting a BAD deal, and what Corker advocates is clearly a bad, BAD deal.

When will the American people understand, especially those Medicare and Social Security beneficiaries, that the Republican Party have HATED, absolutely HATED, social security, medicare, and medicaid since its inception?? When will they hold those hates of the modest social safety net to account and NOT VOTE FOR THEM as they continue to do?
