Democrats' War on Seniors is My War on Democrats
A Better Florida ^ | 12/23/09 | Yomin Postelnik

Posted on 12/23/2009 7:11:15 AM PST by Leah at A Better Florida

Democrats are intent on pushing through one of the biggest monstrosities that this nation has ever seen, one that would kill healthcare as we know it, make across the board cuts in the options available to seniors and drastically increase premiums across the board.

Do Democrats care about any of this? No. The more premiums skyrocket, the more they believe that they can ram through total and complete socialized medicine. It doesn’t matter that government taxation will be the cause of the problem.

To add disgrace to contemptuous farce, something that Democrats seem to specialize in these days, Sen. Bill Nelson and Congressman Ron Klein are set to approve $1.2 billion to Nebraska in order to purchase the vote of Bill Nelson’s comrade, Sen. Ben Nelson. They’ll also vote to approve $100 million to purchase the vote of Louisiana’s Sen. Mary Landrieu.

Nelson and Klein are selling Florida down the drain and Democrats fiddle as our economy burns. (And thanks to them, so might our health care.) This is outrageous.

Ignore the campaign announcements. The main thing is the message. Other Republican candidates should be sending out the same clear message that everyone can relate to.

This bill is nothing more than “Geriatric Genocide.” Get rid of the old geezers because we are sick of paying for their pensions, social security, and insurance.

And every one thinks that talking about the problem will resolve this (these) issues.

The point of a gun is the only way they will listen. When you all are ready to act I will be there. I ain’t talking any longer. Action and nothing less is necessary.

The Dems are not finished screwing seniors. The amnesty bill is coming right behind it and I think we can stop it. Free faxes at numbersusa.com under action buffett. You have to register, it is free and they compose canned letters for you and notifiy you on the action buffett.

The real goal is to kill off seniors faster and give illegals your social security and other benefits for votes.

Florida is filled with idiot seniors who voted for Hussein.

Its quite simple folks...our own Congress has declared war on us!!

“...it is war...it is the war of the Democrats against the Baby Boom...who have paid into and now are poised to reap the “benefits” of Social Security and Medicare...it is the war of those who created these fraudulent programs ...which have fleeced 45 years of taxes from the Baby Boom..and never intended to grant them the “benefits” they were conned into allowing to be withheld from their paychecks. It is a personal war...because by hastening them to their graves...they intend to fleece their descendants of their estates.”

local contact and fax numbers for Senators (demwits)

Email them but the Phone is the best route.

Remind them that obamanationcare effects EVERY ONE!

VA cuts, retired Military..Tri Care for Life (nearly $5,000 in new fees) 8% cut in Medicare, increased premiums, 15% cut to nursing homes and for Pete's sake why are we creating a new tax on special needs kids?

And, most likely a lot of conservative votes gone - bring in the new guys on the block to take their place - Mexicans, blacks, hispanics and all those who like the idea of free stuff. I am not being prejudiced here - just saying.

bill would REDUCE SENIOR Medicare

Health-Care Reform 2009

Report: Bill would reduce senior care Medicare cuts approved by House may affect access to providers

Lori Montgomery

Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, November 15, 2009

A plan to slash more than $500 billion from future Medicare spending -- one of the biggest sources of funding for President Obama's proposed overhaul of the nation's health-care system -- would sharply reduce benefits for some senior citizens and could jeopardize access to care for millions of others, according to a government evaluation released Saturday.

The report, requested by House Republicans, found that Medicare cuts contained in the health package approved by the House on Nov. 7 are likely to prove so costly to hospitals and nursing homes that they could stop taking Medicare altogether.

AND if you are Retired Military on Tri Care for Life, which many Floridians are, you are in for a nearly $5,000 NEW fee along with the increased premiums for the REDUCED Medicare benefits.

May I remind you of a passage from the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Ballot box my a**. That the ballot box doesn't work any more should be, as has been stated before, self evident.
