Oh ya that’s right Mitty, let’s NOT give people healthcare benefits until AFTER THEIR PRONOUNCED DEAD.

“Death Panel” my Great Aunt Regretta’s ass, Mr. Superior Mitty has decided that HE’S GOING TO’ BE THE CEO and appoint himself as judge, jury and executioner!

Future seniors who vote to give the GOP more power are batshit crazy.

I have to make a small correction on one of my posts. This Todd Aken actually said there was legitimate rape, and non-legitimate rape. This guy is saying that in legitmate rape, a woman aske for it. and non-legit-----does not. And he cites all of these doctors who say that a woman can shut everything down, in a legit-rape. Mr. Aken, is your head screwed on straight? What doctors, where? He is still blaming the victim, and blaming women for just being women. Anything to beef up the crazy vote! What would you do Mr. Aken, if that were your wife, or daughter? Where does the GOP find all of these bat-crazy people? Bachmann--incorporated!!! CLONE!!!DEPT!!!! Now, that is funny!

Well, you know, GW Bush is the one who wanted to mess with Social Security, and then call it broken so that he could get rid of it. He never got the chance, his term ended too fast. That is the GOP message, screw something up, call it broken, and then get rid of it.

Once again, I will sort of change the subject matter a little bit. Just got through reading a good piece on Current Community part of Currenttv.com This is just too good to pass up.

It seems that Paul Ryan really likes the band, "Rage Against The Machine", well according to their guitarist Tom Morello, the feeling isn't mutual. Morello states that Ryan can like anyone he wants to, but "he", is just what the band has been raging against all these years.

Morello, wrote, and I quote", Charles Manson loved the Beatles, but didn't understand them, Governor Chris Christie, loves Bruce Springsteen, but doesn't understand him, and Paul Ryan is clueless, about his favorite band, Rage Against The Machine, who says the Ryan claims that he likes the music, not the lyrics. Well, Morello says, I don't like Paul Ryans sound or his lyrics. What is his favorite song? So many choices too jam to, out at Young Republican Meetings!

I told you that this was a good story. You have to go to Current website and read the rest of it for yourself.

All theGOP, know how to do is,lie and spin, lie, and spin. Now someone named Todd Aken running against Claire McCaskell in Missouri for that Senate seat, thinks there is good rape. If any of them wonder why Romney is behind 15 points in the womens vote, thats it. Plus degrating women, and insinuating, that women, don't have enough brains to come in out of the cold, or that a "good rape," as" Aken", calls it, all the victims fault, again, and again, and again. If this wasn't such a bad topic, I would almost laugh.

You know they're in trouble when Fox News is giving them a hard time about those "numbers they forgot to run".

What a LIAR. Every time a GOP uses the word "reform" they mean destroy. A Medicare voucher would force even the current seniors to pay more money. It will not make it more solvent but it would put the program at risk while putting more money in the pocket of the wealthy individuals who support Romney. Who does Ed think he is fooling? I guess only the uninformed viewers of Fox News. The GOP has disliked the Medicare and Social Security programs since they were enacted into law and have continually worked at ways to try to dissolve both of them. Therefore, Romney and Ryan has no interest in improving Medicare and only want to see it that this benefit (not entitlement) eventually no longer exists. Chris Wallace is surely not half the news reporter that his father was.

So, Romney wants to RAISE the eligibility to 67 years old? And Romneys program of changes would destroy Medicare by 2016?

And this information was on Fox News with Romney's point man Ed Gillespie???

Keep hitting em Obama, you got them on the ropes!

They never talk about the overly expensive, costly and inefficient medical system we have in this country. No other major country in the world has such an inefficient medical system as does this country. To my knowledge no other country is talking about cutting back on its health-care coverage. Medicare is one of the most efficient health care providers we have; and these guys are always talking about ways to cut it back. Oh, I forgot, we have to provide for another big tax break for the very rich in this country so Mitt will reduce is tax rate from 13+% to around 1%.
