I heard an audio clip on the radio this morning but I didn't catch the name of the Senator who made the following statement on the medicare bill: "It used to be that GOP stood for Grand Ole Party. Now it stands for Get Old People". How low can you go?

"It used to be that GOP stood for Grand Ole Party. Now it stands for Get Old People".

Maybe someone who has followed politics longer than I can remember when that was first used. I think it might have started back in the Reagan years.

Further, we need to point out exactly which president taxed social security RETROACTIVELY!

That was a quote from Sam Gibbons YEARS ago. He was some old redneck trash from Florida, and I think he grabbed Joe Scarborough by the tie one time.
