Republicans Taking Away People's Legs (Rat rhetoric hits rock-bottom)

Posted on 06/24/2003 12:58:04 PM PDT by ElkGroveDan

The California State Senate is now debating the State Budget.

I thought you should all know that according to Senator Wes Chesbro (D-Arcata) by not wanting to increase taxes, Republicans are effectively taking away people's legs.

Yes. He claims that without $8 billion in new taxes there will be no funding for medical prosthesis thus Republicans are denying people their legs.

Anyone in CA whose cable service has the legislature, really should watch this.

He can say they are taking peoples' legs, but in fact, 'Rats suck the peoples' lifeblood (their money, through excessive taxation).

A person came to my front door the other day and wanted to talk to me about preserving medicare. I politely told him that I thought this should be handled by private insurance. You should of seen the look on his face.
Now I see that I needed to have a prosthetic leg in my hand that I could of gnawed on instead of just the baby seal I was clubbing.

Ventura County Ping. I will definitely be down at Camarillo City Council with flag and sign. Might also do the Simi Valley one as well.

"Republicans are effectively taking away people's legs."

Well, if they want to perform a truly honorable service, they should take away Hillary's FAT LEGS!

Sheesh. What's next?

I bet they'll convert the State Hospital for the Insane into the William J. Le Petomane Memorial Gambling Casino for the Insane.

"I have my eye on you."

That sounds rather gross. (Just had to elbow my way into the thread...)

Live California Senate here -

It appears they have changed to some sort of Senate hearing not the full Senate debate.
