While concerns about changes in Medicare and Social Security are benefiting the GOP and opponents of ObamaCare in the near term, the reaction of seniors to potential changes in these programs provide a clear reason for why the left is pushing this nonsense at a time when the federal government is in dire fiscal straits....it’s political !@#$ing gold. It will increase the number of dependents on the federal government and the left by tens of millions of citizens.

And through the control of your health care (which is really control of your body, but that only is a matter if you want an abortion) the left can implement all of its wonderful environut agenda (and dare I say eugenics inspired agenda) on you as well.

The left doesn’t care about personal freedom. It cares about political power. This has been the way of leftists for centuries. Conservatives view life as one of individual responsibility, good manners, voluntary cooperation, faith, and family. Many fail to understand that for many leftists, politics is their religion. They will lie, cheat, steal, and beg to accumulate more power and destroy civil society.

The left has thrown everything at conservatives in order to secure their holy grail of American left politics: nationalized health insurance. They’ve called us Nazis, “un-American”, and extremists. The funny thing is, none of it is working because conservatives are actually standing up to them. They’re not used to that. They’re used to the Doles and McCains of the GOP bending over any time they throw a political punch. Fortunately, the opposition to this leftist power play hasn’t come from the top but from the bottom, from the actual people who will have to pay dearly for this stupidity. Once it became clear the people weren’t on board was when the entire health care “debate” changed and the rats were thrown off track. They believe the people are sitting out here in the sticks with their hands out just waiting for left wing politicians to give them crumbs of yummy government cheese.

Now moderate Dems from red states are scared sh~tless. This opposition has driven a wedge inside the Democrat party.

The left has engaged in a classic overreach. The country is far more conservative than they are and roughly half of the votes they received in the last election didn’t come from “progressives”. There are more Democrats than progressives in the US and there are more conservatives than Republicans in this country. It took the Dow dropping by 25% six weeks before an election along with the entire media-government complex trumpeting the Great Depression II to get their guy elected, and even then the election result was not that impressive.

I think we are going to see a beatdown of epic proportions in the midterm elections next year. The only concern now is that the GOP not screw this up.

Seniors are getting screwed to benefit illegal aliens. Illegals will be a bigger voting block if amnesty gets through. Baby boomers are not that far behind either. Watch for estate taxes to go up a lot to get grannys retirement money after she dies under DeathCare.

This is reparations and money for opressed illegals. The people who voted for Hussein deserve all the bad karma they are going to get. Sadly the rest of us will get screwed too.
