I get these comments claiming the polls showing many Republican voters are opposed to losing medicare entitlement is not real, and that the Town Hall meetings where older (white) voters are angry about the medicare proposal is just ACORN antics and not real, and I wonder what planet some of these folks are on. Is someone telling them to believe that??.
Recall this 2009 RNC (RINO-National-Committee, the Steele RNC. Now he is gone) political proposal to win a few votes short term, or more-so to get donations:
The Republican National Committee's “bill of rights” includes calls to “protect Medicare,” “prohibit efforts to ration health care based on age” and “ ensure seniors can keep their current coverage.” Taken together, the list does not represent an actual reform proposal — congressional GOP leaders have so far failed to introduce a plan of their own — but rather a series of things Republicans believe reform should not do.
GOP Pushes Health 'Bill of Rights'(Washington Post,Aug 24, 2009) .
The GOP got themselves in this mess, and RINO Steele as head of the RNC was like a termite destroying it from the inside.
Boner is apparently joing Obama on SOAK BIG OIL.
Nothing substantive has changed.
There has been plenty of bad news today, it’s true. The unions trying to stop the secret ballot for unionization votes in AZ and SD...Sebelius demanding a pharma CEO be fired as a condition for gov’t business...it goes on and on every day.
You mention Steele, who was pretty bad. What about Priebus, who is supposed to be a crackerjack fundraiser? Why hasn’t he been buying TV time to explain GOP budgetary positions? Why isn’t the “new” RNC trying to offset media bias with advertising?
So far, the Priebus RNC looks very much like the Steele RNC. At least to one outsider it does.
both parties will do anything but cut pork...its their personal slush fund. we will still have bridges to nowhere.
