Worst thing about the talk of SS or Medicate cuts?
Edited on Sun Jul-24-11 11:41 AM by newthinking
It's simply *not necessary*.

The "fight" is completely political and a farce.

If this is proof that we no longer have a representative Democracy I don't know what is!

2. Imagine being sick, old, frail, questionable housing and listening to
this endless bullshit. Sadly, all cruel people are heroes (to themselves) often 'till they experience the same, and many will, because SH** happens in life. What goes around comes around, eventually, IMO.

5. I simply can NOT belive that a "Democratic" President,
would target the most vulnerable among us for Austerity,
while delivering Mega Tax cuts to the very richest,
and funding several unnecessary WARS.

I can NOT believe it.

This isn't even Kinder, Gentler, 3rd Way Republicanism.
It is much WORSE.

8. You don't have to believe it.
You don't have to believe it because it's not true. He's not a Democrat.
