Searched (keyword or title: twitter) and was surprised nothing about this has been posted, yet.

I'm going to sign up for a Twitter account just to tweet something along the lines of, "End the insanity. Stop bankrupting Soc Sec for political gain. #40dollars"

Please post your tweet ideas below. Let's make sure they know where we stand.

When Obama gives a speech ,why does he have a bunch of dummies standing behind him ?

[metmom]

Political move in an election year.

What a manipulator.

[unixfox]

Use the hash tag #Liar

[tobyhill]

This is stupid because the GOP has already said they would pass it without paying for it.

The US needs more tax payers (tax slaves) and reduced spending on indolence.

[GeronL]

So, he is telling those that pay no income tax that they shouldn’t be paying payroll taxes either? Whatever happened to ‘fair share’ when half the country expects to pay nothing?

[TexasCajun]

What's up!

Every two months I wake up and it's...

GROUNDHOG DAY!!!

This should be parodied just like #attackwatch.

#40dollars and a mule - the new Obama campaign slogan.

[Chgogal]

Support YOUR grandmother! Pay YOUR fair share in payroll taxes.

[nascarnation]

Dear Leader Baraq: it’s MY Social Security you’re shorting.

Just tweeted:

#40Dollars Can anyone in Washington DC use a calculator? We're broke and getting broker. Spread the misery.

saving a family making about $50,000 a year $40 $38 per paycheck.

or

saving a family making about $220,000 a year $367 per month or $4,400 for the year!

or

saving a person making minimum wage, only $5.80 per week.

[PghBaldy]

Why not make it 40 acres and a mule, Obama? Enough with the gimmicks Mr Affirmative Action POTUS.

When Obama gives a speech ,why does he have a bunch of dummies standing behind him ?

The Democrats have been using these television stage effects since at least the Clinton era. Usually it would be a diverse group (although Obama will often have a preponderance of pale-skins - to show that he's beloved by all...) of people nodding their heads up and down like bobble-head dolls. I guess they believe they can get people to subliminally buy their socialist messages if they see a bunch of people like themselves nodding their heads up and down when the politico spouts off...
It annoys the heck out of me.

This is stupid because the GOP has already said they would pass it without paying for it.

...and with all the debt this is piling up, my Medicare premiums have been REDUCED by more than $10.00/mo.!!

Is there ANYONE driving this train?

Twitter — using the #40dollars hashtag

If I used twitter or FB, I post that the $40 would be donated to any Republican candidate who defeats 0 bummer in Nov.

[newgeezer]

Perfect, thanks, Tweeted!

[SueRae]

Rush already shot a hole in it today..Atalked about some #idiot who said...”the $40 will pay my internet bill so I can run my small busines.” The WH retweets it. Only problem is, the tax releif is a PAYROLL tax cut, no employees (i.e., self-employed), no tax saved. Must have come from an insider. What a #tool.
