Do you really think that Mr. Cohen will debate Ms. Bergmann?

I doubt it, for one he is to arrogant. Number two he doesn't want his vote to gut Medicare exposed. Nor the $569 Billion in taxes he slapped on seniors on things like new knees, hips, name brand medicine that many, many seniors rely on. Even a 3.8% tax on selling their homes starting next year. Or that Medicare is cutting reimbursement to providers by 30% over the next 3 years. That the total CUTS to Medicare over 20 years is $815 TRILLION.

And he expects you the Media to remain silent on the gutting of Medicare, the lack of COLA raises for seniors on Social Security for this year, next year, and possibly 2012. Not only will seniors not receive COLA raises, but retired Military will not receive them either.

So which party is throwing granny and gramps under the bus? It's the DEMOCRATS, not the Republicans!

[GailA]

Many deem such districts un-winnable. When with a few extra $$ a candidate with the Ronald Reagan message could win, especially given the job loss, the higher taxes and obamacare. Reagan proved that when he won.

I know they’ve written of the US 9th TN where we have an arrogant POS 2 term obama butt kisser Steve Cohen. Who says he votes like a black woman, (he’s a white, Jew) BUT won’t debate his black, GOP, Memphis Tea Party backed candidate she won 61% of the primary vote over 2 other male candidates.

“I vote like a black woman,” he said in an interview. “I don’t know the black experience, but I know about being a minority and being discriminated against because of religion.”

Cohen also compares 0 to Jesus, Palin to Pontius Pilate

[cripplecreek]

Seems to be a common tactic of democrats this time around. Run ads accusing republicans of starving granny and gramps, then skip out on debates.

That’s basically what’s happening here in Michigan’s 7th district.

It is totally hypocritical to bitch about socialized medicine by complaining that it is harming socialized medicine.

That the total CUTS to Medicare over 20 years is $815 TRILLION.

Just where did you think that $815 trillion was going to come from unless it was taxing "somebody else"? I'll bet you think taxes are too high too. Well, where else is the money going to come from? Borrowing? What would that do to the deficit? Did seniors save that much? Is it in the bank? From whom do you think we should get the money?

So which party is throwing granny and gramps under the bus? It's the DEMOCRATS, not the Republicans!

Looks to me like seniors are throwing their grandchildren under the bus and they'll switch parties if they don't get the government to take the goodies for them. After all, a sack of empty promises has worked just fine so far, hasn't it?

This kind of care is unaffordable in the amounts that people desire. That's reality.

[cripplecreek]

We’re getting bludgeoned with an ad about social security about every half hour paid for by AFSCME.

The only true thing in the ad is the claim that Tim Walberg calls social security a ponzi scheme. (it fits the definition) There is a payout as long as there is an ever increasing number of people paying in. How that is any different than the Bernie Madoff scam is beyond me aside from the fact that people weren’t forced into the Madoff scam.

IIRC, it is Holdren who has spoken of recycling prostheses and liquifying dead people into some kind of green stuff to shoot into space or some weird thing (to save space). He also wants depopulation.

The herd (in the US) is being culled. The rest of the world, I dunno.

[combat_boots]

Two years ago now, a young doc posted here on FR about possibly moving to Panama to escape 0bamacare rules & regs & continue to practice medicine. IIRC, he needed to be paying back student loans along with making money.

[Carry_Okie]

I'm not against seniors buying any kind of medical care they please, with their own money.

It's when they expect our kids to pay for it that I draw the line.

LOL My dad is hording titanium in the form of 9 stints and a knee. I told him we won't bury him in a coffin. We're going to keep him in a safe deposit box.

[widdle_wabbit]

“That the total CUTS to Medicare over 20 years is $815 TRILLION.”

How does that math work?

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Holdren who has spoken of recycling prostheses and liquifying dead people into some kind of green stuff to shoot into space or some weird thing (to save space). He also wants depopulation.

The prescience of CS Lewis should be clear to any who might listen. He had made the case earlier that there are those who seek to subvert science to achieve power over other men much as those who sought to use magic for the same reason. And then he wrote this in chapter 3, ¶22, of The Abolition of Man:

There is something which unites magic and applied science while separating both from the wisdom of earlier ages. For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality, and the solution had been knowledge, self-discipline, and virtue. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men: the solution is a technique; and both, in the practice of this technique, are ready to do things hitherto regarded as disgusting and impious.

If there exist any person in the self-assessed elite corps who would truthfully describe themselves as knowledgeable, self-disciplined, and virtuous, what we must fear most is that they would sound very much like John Holdren.

How ObamaCare Guts Medicare

Add Part A & B cuts together for that time span $3.2 + $4.95 = $8.15

Altogether, ObamaCare cuts $818 billion from Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) from 2014-2023, the first 10 years of its full implementation, and $3.2 trillion over the first 20 years, 2014-2033. Adding in ObamaCare cuts for Medicare Part B (physicians fees and other services) brings the total cut to $1.05 trillion over the first 10 years and $4.95 trillion over the first 20 years.

[NTHockey]

Go ahead and ignore her, Cohen. That’s EXACTLY what Mike Castle did. Look where it got him. Castle can blame anyone and everyone for his loss. The real reason is staring back at him in the mirror. He CHOSE to ignore his opposition. He CHOSE not to go before the voters. He CHOSE to run a negative campaign.

You kind of miss the point, you use the ammo that the enemy (socialist, marxist and commies) gives you against them. in order to oust them and then you can do reforms. Reforms won’t happen IF you can’t get conservatives elected to do them.

We tax payers have paid into the Medicare system for years, and those on it pay a premium monthly for the insurance. IF the gov’t had NOT been allowed to raid them Medicare and SS both would be solvent today.

Medicare and SS need reforming, there is no doubt about that. BUT you can’t reform them IF you can’t get the right conservatives elected.

And you can’t throw a 70-100 year old under the bus regardless of what party you are. They must be protected just as much as the unborn should be.

Social Security makes Bernie Madoff look like a 2-bit streetcorner hustler.

I don't miss it at all. I disagree with the tactic.
