Rep. Sanchez(D) "ready to lose her job"---go for it, honey!

[DemocracyInaction]

This is the second time I've seen this damn woman (rep. from CA). Again today she was screaming at the camera about how she is ready to lose her job over demanding that SS and Medicare be slashed and also all retirements.

Last time she was in front of camera with some Repub. When SS came up, the Repub suggested raising the retirement age by one year (very mild reaction for a Repub). She damn near took his face off. She said she wants cuts to SS and Medicare RIGHT NOW for those who are already on it for starters.

This is the goddamn excuse we come up with for Democrats these days!!! I sincerely hope this means her ass is kicked into the next county come the next election. Why don't we just sell this piece of crap, useless country (oh, I forgot...we already have....)

1. Sorry...

I'm simply not going to take your word for this. Let's see some evidence of your claim.

2. She was just on MSNBC

like 5 minutes ago!!! I saw her about 2 weeks ago with the repub also spouting on MSNBC!!! Believe me this was no "mis-hearing". The host ended by repeating "so, you are willing to lose your job" and she said again "yes".

5. Which "damn (Sanchez) woman" are you railing against, Linda or Loretta? . . .

It might make a difference if you want other's ire to rise with yours.

8. didn't know there were two of them

She's a rep from California and I remember her saying in the past that she, Gabby and Harmon were the three Bluedog Dems in the House. It was her reply when the news came over the wires that Harmon was leaving. Make that the 3 women bluedogs.....

9. Both Loretta and Linda are from California. . .

They're sisters.

6. Linda or Loretta?

7. Wait, a Dem wants to CUT SS and Medicare?

Who is this person please?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. some sister, apparently. . . .

[calimary]

11. I think it was Loretta Sanchez. I just came in on the end of it.

Looked like her.

[DemocracyInaction]

12. Her name is Sanchez

I didn't realize there were two of them - thought the sister was a state rep. As I said above I remember her pointing out that she was one of 3 bluedog women dems in the House........So, which one would be the bluedog of the sisters???

14. She and her sister have been at odds since the 2008 Democratic primaries... n/t

[DemocracyInaction]

15. This one is the "bluedog" one

She has openly identified herself as one of the "three women bluedogs" in the House....from her very own lips.

[aquart]

17. Uh huh. Which one is that?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

20. Yes, she is. And she and her sister supported different candidates. She supported Hillary.

Her sister supported Obama. Her sister is the Yellow Dog. She is Blue Dog.

16. There is a reason to eliminate SS and Medicare right now.

It would remind the citizens of this country that they do in fact use these programs. Too many people believe that they don't use any social programs from the government. Just one month without would solve this problem for most.

Not that I'd actually want to do this - but if it happened, it would destroy the Republican argument that only lazy people get government assistance.

18. Clinton Republican n/t

19. a female hispanic "democrat". another example of how identity politics is a dead-end.
