Republicans don’t want to gut Medicare, they want to kill it

A few days ago, I reported on a hypocritical Republican policy initiative that would gut Medicare. The Republican “budget roadmap” proposes severe cuts, rationing, and — who knows — maybe even death panels. But to some Republicans, the problem with the new policy initiative to gut Medicare is that it doesn’t go far enough. Republican […]

Republicans don’t want to cut Medicare, they want to gut it

Many of the Republican talking points during the Health care reform debate accused the Democrats of trying to ration health care, cut Medicare, and even institute “death panels” that would decide your granny didn’t deserve to live.

Fox News proves that there is a sucker born every minute

Fox News heavily promoted the “Tea Party Express”, a bus tour around the country of tea party events. But now, it turns out that over two-thirds of the money that was donated by Tea Partiers to this event was channeled back to Republican political operatives.

Do Republicans Really Think our Attention Span is This Short?

Washington Monthly has a scathing article about the hypocrisy of Republican politicians who unanimously oppose Obama’s health care reform bill, when most of them voted for Medicare Part D: Let’s cut the nonsense.
