but that was a good one - lol.... The one I'm thinking of, and haven't yet found the Video, was a CNN interview where she had a Obama/JoePlumber moment and let slip her disdain that the Programs are "bad" because they are PRIVATE and provide Medicare benefit processing semi-privatized rather than in full control of Government where the Liberals insist everything has to be.... for full ineffectiveness, of course. All Medicare Coverage should, of course, be moved to these semi-privatized cooperative plans/administrations via existing Companies whose soul jobs are dealing with Health Care --- those evil Insurance companies!

as the inclusion of audio and/or visual imagery greatly enhances the “realness” of the actions of others.

I wonder how many times Democrats have sold off the Brooklyn Bridge to moronic JackAss Party lever pullers!?!? So many dumb people in America these days WANTING to be misled. For the first time in my Life I am DISGUSTED by so many of my fellow Americans. It has never been quite this bad.

I have heard several democrats explain that the $113 billion reduction from the Medicare Advantage program will be redirected to make up for shortcomings in areas like the traditional Medicare program, and that this will not result in any loss of coverage for those in Medicare Advantage.
So let’s get this straight: in one flavor of Medicare $113 billion is being eaten up each year and it has no impact on services rendered, but that same money that is doing nothing in one scenario will make all the difference in the other.
Honestly, who in their right mind thinks that you can yank $113 billion from anything and expect it to maintain production?
This is all part of the goal to regulate equality of outcomes. Each part of our lives is being incrementally seized by the government with the intention of eliminating all disparities. There is a great body of history to examine the consequences of this goal in practice. It is not desirable!
We all need to remain vigilant and keep pushing the facts. In the end, reasonable people will realize the truth. Liberals can ignore the sound arguments and resort to avoiding debate, but ultimately that is not a winning strategy. History and factual information is on our side.

I thought all $500 billion was coming from elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse. You mean Obama wasn’t telling the truth when he says that there will not be a single penny cut from services? I’m shocked!

(Yes I’m being sarcastic.)

Go figure.

All these years of seniors being scared into voting for the Democrats because the big bad Republicans were going to take away their Medicare and social Insecurity. Now they’re faced with real cuts and the need “Conservative” Democrats to save them when all they really needed to do was vote for real Change.

just how much I loathe the socialists in the Democrat party. In spite of overwhelming and growing opposition to a government takeover of health care these control freaks are still pressing on, still demanding we surrender our liberties to them and the state.

Exactly what do the Lefties think we will do if they succeed in this cram down? Do they think we’ll just accept defeat and go home and wallow in self-pity and learn to live with our new socialist government? If so they are damn fools. I believe this WILL lead to a 10th Amendment Constitutional showdown at the very least.

The Demoncrats when cornered (my favorite, Claire McCackle meltdown) lose it when discussions of Medicare Advantage come up.... They thought that working with Bush on that would wet the appetite for a DEMAND to move quicker to UNIVERSAL COVERAGE... They cannot stand that those plans SEMI-PRIVATIZE portions of MEDICARE and that Seniors LOVE IT!!! They want, of course, ALL HEALTH-CARE Government controlled and it just burns them inside the longer that goes on that some of it was semi-privatized to put some COMPETITION/CONTROL into the system!!! ALL OF MEDICARE should be Privatized, of course, and Liberal Govt. do nothings FIRED! That would give us tremendous savings without any Coverage cuts.
