How much you wanna bet old NJ Schokowitz is a liberal?
Odds of him voting for a conservative? Slim to none—Christie Cream excluded cuz he aint conservative.
One pays a severe price sometimes for being ignorant.
For Obamacare to survive, older folks need to die.
Obama promised “...to fundamentally change America.” He has.
The gift that keeps on giving.
Could it be possible that Old Ed Schokowitz could be votin’ R for the first time in his life come Nov 2014?
Good!
From AARP forum 08/12:
The TRUTH is...the medicare savings will add another 8-10 years of solvency to Medicare without touching benefits, while, according to the CBO, Medicare spending is expected to nearly double by 2020. Meanwhile, Medicare Advantage premiums are down and enrollment is up, according to HHS — hardly indicative of a plan that’s suffering due to the ACA. (Affordable Care Act)
The Romney campaign appears to be engaged in a pattern that involves creating and spreading a new and colossal Lie of the Week. Prior whoppers include the “Obama is disenfranchising military voters lie” (debunked) and the “Obama is gutting welfare reform lie” (also debunked).
By now, we all know what happened this week. On Sunday’s Meet the Press, right-wing Rich Lowry shouted down Rachel Maddow on Medicare, saying that “Obamacare” cuts $700 billion from the program.
Mitt Romney surrogate John Sununu appeared on CNN the next day and shouted down Soledad O’Brien with the same crap-on-a-stick. Specifically, he repeated the massive lie that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA or “Obamacare”) cuts $717 billion from Medicare, implying that benefits were cut.
Where is this LIE going to stop that started out as $500 billion now we’re up to to the $700 billions ?
It turns out that the $717 billion number that Sununu was screeching about on CNN was pulled out of a July 24 CBO memo about the House plan to repeal Obamacare. Doug Elmendorf explained, “Spending for Medicare would increase by an estimated $716 billion over that 2013-2022 period.” There’s nothing in there about benefit cuts or anything else the Republicans have said. Nothing.
From here, the viral lie infected the discourse like the Ebola virus.
Obama's taking money from the Medicare Advantage program to shore up ObamaCare ... another 'bait and switch' from democrats...
No, he said, "You can't be kicked out of your plan unless you can be kicked out of your plan."
Sometimes you pay a severe price for other’s ignorance.
No, he said, “You can’t be kicked out of your plan unless you can be kicked out of your plan.”
Can’t touch that!
My relatives are very concerned over this whole mess. Everyone is wondering what bad news is coming next.
The “deer in the headlights” moment has occurred throughout the ages, when Roman soldiers took your farm, or when the gestapo broke down your door, or when you get that letter dropping your health insurance unconditionally when you most need it.
Except, of course, near election time when the wail goes up that the Republicans will cut Medicare.
but, but, the DemocRATs ACTUALLY DID! No, that doesn't matter.
Go to hell!!!

The really neat thing is that seniors are huge voting block and obamaramadingdong and the demonrats are really pissing them off.
I don’t like your mama’s cooking.
AARP is an accomplice to Obozocare. They signed on early to destroy HMOs as they stand to make a billions dollars shilling MediGap policies. I will never have anything to do with AARP.
The problem is... those of us who did know what was happening have to pay as well. It just makes me steaming mad at the moonbats. I used to think they were just quaint and annoying. But now they seem like jerks, without a clue, who ruined everything for all of us. *Spit*
This is also happening in Medicaid. So a large portion of Obama/Democrat voters in the "old and poor" demographics will be sacrificed for the greater good. Even a modest reduction of 4-5% in those demographics could swing elections to the conservative side.
I am not sure that's what he had in mind "for the greater good."
