And let us not forget ...
Okay, then the DEMOCRATS need to shut up!!!
Lets review:
Who was it that moved Medicare Trust Funds out of the "trust box" and into the General Revenue, replacing them with Government I.O.U.s?
Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?
The History of Medicare
In 1965, the Social Security Act established both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare was a responsibility of the Social Security Administration (SSA), while Federal assistance to the State Medicaid programs was administered by the Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS). SSA and SRS were agencies in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was created under HEW to effectively coordinate Medicare and Medicaid. In 1980 HEW was divided into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The first U.S. President to propose a prepaid health insurance plan was Harry S. Truman [DEMOCRAT]. On November 19, 1945, in a special message to Congress, President Truman outlined a comprehensive, prepaid medical insurance plan for all people through the Social Security system. The plan included doctors and hospitals, and nursing, laboratory, and dental services; it was dubbed "National Health Insurance." Furthermore, medical insurance benefits for needy people were to be financed from Federal revenues.
Over the years, lawmakers narrowed the field of health insurance recipients largely to social security beneficiaries. A national survey found that only 56 percent of those 65 years of age or older had health insurance. President John F. Kennedy [DEMOCRAT] pressed legislators for health insurance for the aged. However, it wasn't until 1965 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed H.R. 6675 (The Social Security Act of 1965; PL 89-97) to provide health insurance for the elderly and the poor.
On July 30, 1965, President Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Bill (Title XVIII and Title XIX of the Social Security Act) in Independence, Missouri in the presence of former President Truman, who received the first Medicare card at the ceremony; Lady Bird Johnson, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, and Mrs. Truman also were present. President Johnson remarked: "We marvel not simply at the passage of this Bill but that it took so many years to pass it."
Medicare extended health coverage to almost all Americans aged 65 or older. About 19 million beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare in the first year of the program. Medicaid provided access to health care services for certain low-income persons and expanded the existing Federal-State welfare structure that assisted the poor.
The 1972 Social Security Amendments expanded Medicare to provide coverage to two additional high risk groups disabled persons receiving cash benefits for 24 months under the social security program and persons suffering from end-stage renal disease.

Great title for a book: Demonic. Hard-core liberals are certainly that. Take any issue: the poor -- do far better under programs initiated by conservatives than they do by programs initiated by liberals; however, liberals have the poor convinced that the opposite is true.
Same thing with blacks, same thing with jobs, same thing with the environment -- everything. Liberals call good bad and bad good AND THEY GET AWAY WITH IT -- and people believe them....

Not a dime to Coulter from me! She is insulting.
If she can't defend Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution and denigrates those who do, then she is an entertainer and opportunist. She is not a patriot or a true conservative.

If only the black people of this country knew this:
Slavery - Democrat
Liberation - Republican
Segregation - Democrat
Integration - Republican
Ghettos - Democrat
Opportunity - Republican
Get the word out.

We saw Ann with Hannity last nite and poor Sean... It was like Ann had drunk a whole pot of coffee in the green room.
We like Ann but she really needs to chill some (I mean, Hannity's her friend, right?) and go get a pizza every once in a while.

I like parts of Anne but I don’t like her getting freaked out because the liberal media don’t like her and don’t want to interview her — what does she expect? Yes, she has to sell a book, and will go onto the View but again, Joy on the View, repeats that her conservatism is an act, just business... so why does Anne bother? Anne is witty, bright and does great research but she caves to the MSM (and almost reinforces what Joy says). That and her phony laugh prep school bugs me... but she does have a lot of good points too.

Coulter's become a loony tune with regard to her endorsements but her historical writing still seems pretty good.
Note that there are certain "palaeoconservatives" who claim that the Republican party was "red from the beginning," that Abraham Lincoln was a Communist dictator, and that the original Jeffersonian strict constructionist interpretation of the Constitution is the only authentic and true one (despite the fact that Hamiltonian loose construction is just as old). These same people have been lying for over 150 years that George Washington was a Jeffersonian loose constructionist rather than a Federalist.
