“... senior citizens would have to choose between their medicine and food which would lead them to eat dog food.”
Anyone, who has recently priced dog food, would recognize the lie.
Whether or not 2012, we are definitely all going to die. It's the only thing I can say with certainty about every single person in the world.

And who can forget the ever-present nuclear apocalypse, as depicted in 'The Day After'?
In between peddling bogus apocalyptic prophesies, libs ridicule Christians who believe the End Times are at hand.
Unfortunately, most web site designers focus on sizzle to impress themselves and friends, over substance.
Chili and tuna are cheaper than dog food and cat food. Unless the senior citizen likes the dry crunchy type.
I think this is probably more a case of trying to inflate the hit count.
They continue to trot out the old corpse in a new wedding dress:
