Republicans want to end Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
Edited on Tue Oct-19-10 07:38 PM by Rosa Luxemburg
why would anyone want to vote for them?

Why haven't Democrats pointed this out?

It is recorded that many Republicans want to end Medicare and Social Security?

Where are the ads?

13. With the question
"Why do you want to end Social Security as we know it?"

God knows I don't want any of my social security dollars going to pay for the criminally high compensation and bonuses for wall street robber barons.

2. Who knows, I have given up on trying to figure out what the
hell is wrong with Democrats. Year after year they let the Republicans win the arguments and set the agenda then claim they were cheated when they lose.

3. Dems are pointing it out. Media does not report it, except for Rachel Maddow
Dems talk about this and have Ads on it. Most of the media ignore them and whitewash the Republican candidates.
