Remember: Only Professional Leftists Oppose the Chained-CPI....

[Junkdrawer]

Rank-and-file Democrats will tighten their belts, dig into that catfood, and get behind the President!

Or something like that.

[progressoid]

1. We should heed the words of Rahm

It would be fucking r@+*#ded to oppose the president's proposal.

[90-percent]

2. Also

Because the SS Trust Fund has absolutely no impact what so ever on the national debt and is not part of the federal budget, I think it's great our President wants to cut something we've all worked all of our lives to get in our golden retirement years.

They want us to work until 70 and throw people over forty out of the work force and end their careers.

The POWERS THAT BE ARE CERTAINLY GOING FULL TILT MEDIEVAL ON OUR ASSES, aren't they?

And I, as a full blown corporate serf, would at least like to know which Lord within the PTB is assigned to my slavery district. Isn't this still a constitutionally protected right?

13. That age 70 figure is just moving the bar. They really want us to work until

we drop dead and that will be the next bar they set. Only the 1%, "who saved for their retirement" will be worthy of it.

[HiPointDem]

20. according to the wingnuts, retirement makes you die earlier. seriously. because you lose your

vibrant community at work and your ties to the outside world.

the government shouldn't 'encourage' retirement.

i saw it in the NYT, so it must be true.

[Cleita]

23. I can only express my disgust with their thinking. n/t

[Dragonfli]

14. You will know who is your feudal lord when he claims Jus Primae Noctis

I dare say your new bride will "know" his lordship quite well

3. I want that job--professional leftist!

[Tom Rinaldo]

4. Should I file in Small Claims Court for my pay? n/t

[n2doc]

5. I'm sure someone will come along with a poll that agrees with you

something like "90% of democrats Luve their President, how out of touch are you!"

[zeemike]

6. Oh don't be so negative.

I understand Friskies is coming out with a new super sized can of cat food to tap into the seniors market...and you know some of their products are quite tasty...

[ProfessionalLeftist]

7. That's right, I do.

And Gibbers can kiss my Chained CPI-hating ass.

[Dragonfli]

17. Wow, the OP is correct, ONLY YOU oppose cuts, you have been very busy!

I think they are on to you now, so you're evil machinations are nearing an end!

[G_j]

8. you left out the part about

personally disliking the president for his pigmentation.

in all my years at DU, I've never seen anything like it...

[Fuddnik]

9. We don't like Hillary either.

So we must hate women. Except Amy Goodman.

[HiPointDem]

21. i believe the word is 'hate' -- not 'dislike'. professional leftists 'hate'.

[James48]

10. Obama pushing Granny off the cliff!

[marcusc81]

15. LOL

It'd be hilarious if it weren't so close to the reality.

[bvar22]

18. This reality?

or THIS reality?

[font size=1]President Obama: I care for my 95 year old mother (photographed here) at home. She is not yet in a nursing home but if you cut Socal Security, it will make it even more difficult financially for us to keep her at home in her remaining days. Don’t do this! Don’t make the lives of our elderly miserable in what should be their golden years. [/font]

Or MILLIONS of other realities.
We ARE all connected.
I won't be a willing part of this.

[certainot]

11. as long as the 'left' ignores RW radio, the right's best weapon, expect compromise

obama/dem's position is considerably weakened merely by the fact the left ignores 1000 coordinated radio stations taking free pot shots at all things liberal and dem all day long.

it's just fucking stupid and we've had 25 years of it.

the 1% put think tank scripted carnival barkers on every corner and stump in the country screaming liberals and their reps are liars, thieves, and traitors all day long, and americans stick their iPods in their ears and walk by and wait for free wifi in every car.

[Cleita]

12. Actually, everybody but the 1% oppose it when you explain to them how it works.

Even the most dug in conservative, boot strapping, retiree gets it when you explain it to them

[Dragonfli]

16. very true, Our President knows what to do with our earned benefits

We would only get confused and pay for idiotic things like medication

[center][/center]

The cuts are only because, as true Democrats know, Obama loves kittens and loves us.

The professional leftist ODSers on the other hand are just trying to cover up for all those Earned Benefit Queens, like the old lady I heard of that collects 30 SS checks under 30 different names and drives a rolls royce.

[KittyWampus]

19. Or maybe some on the Left aren't as well informed as they pretend to be.

And some sure as hell really can't deal with following politics.

[HiPointDem]

22. or maybe they just don't respond well to coordinated talking points by operatives who clearly

despise them.

[Dragonfli]

26. Do you really mean to say the center right are the only ones informed? LOL

Heritage foundation talking points do not inform you, they lie to you, Even then, many of us know them just as well as you, same goes with weasel worded press releases, third way articles and Pete Peterson approved rationales for balancing a budget by cutting programs that are not a part of it.

In the end, I'd say you "centrist" types are far more ill-informed as you are only aware of the above sources that have programmed your VERY uninformed and predictable enabling of reverse Robin Hood corporate policy.

We read that shite too, but also reality based materials. Most leftists I know are far more informed than blind loyalists.

[Skittles]

28. no - only the swooners are informed

[MisterP]

24. "worrying about drones is WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE!"

(sorry, that was last week's talking point)

[idwiyo]

25. Errrr, what about me? Am female and have light coloured skin, and hate drones. Where do I fit?

Am I like "supporter of patriarchy" or something?

[MisterP]

27. they're Beltway talking points: they come and go with the wind

their strength lies in their very ability to contradict themselves

[MNBrewer]

29. I'm a "professional" leftist? I guess my paychecks have been lost in the mail.

NO CUTS, MR. PRESIDENT!! Stop acting Republicanish!
