The liberal hag choked


as part of ObamaCare passed $700 billion in cuts in Medicare
touted by the liberal media as one of the brightest commentators on television, yet MSNBC's Rachel Maddow got thoroughly demolished by National Review editor Rich Lowry on Sunday's Meet the Press.

When continually asked by Lowry to defend the President's $700 billion Medicare cuts in ObamaCare, Maddow repeatedly refused making herself look tremendously foolish

How is Romney/Ryan going to "go on offense" on Medicare when Ryan's own budget keeps the cuts to Medicare and then cuts it even more and turns it in to a voucher system? Are Republicans this dumb or are they just lying?

Well, when you point out that any changes are for people NOT YET 55 or older and that without changes there will be NO Medicare, AND that Obama has already started gutting Medicare and has removed 716 billion dollars from the program....

I'll leave it to you.

Yeah, I saw that. It was pretty funny. Almost as funny as little debbies denial of knowing the political affiliations of the Obama super pac people who put out the, "He killed my wife", ad. They are two former Obama staffers. You think they might be progressives?

Or even Stephanie Cutter's nervous, bug-eyed, Adma's Apple bobbing performance. The young progressive wimen guns shot blanks yesterday. Bodes well for the future.

What part of Ryan's budget keeps those cuts can't you understand?

I thought you Cons wanted cuts to the government, you should be running around and celebrating that the government is cutting back on entitlement programs....granted the cuts reflect overlap costs because it is kind of dumb to pay for the same things twice.

They're scared. Ryan's budget and views will sink them this fall and they're just looking around and grasping for straws. I almost feel bad for them. Almost.

Personally I want to see a healthy stable Republican counterpart to the Democrats, but before that happens the Republicans will need to have their entire party brought down before they will kick out the far-right and join the rest of the country in trying to be a productive government again.

I think it is good that $700 billion clean up results in 8 year extension of Medicare solvency and increases services for seniors at the same time. I find it disturbing the Romney plan takes that extension of benefits away from seniors and replaces it with more out of pocket costs to those same people while at the same time giving huge tax cuts to a few very "needy" millionaires.

Every liberal chokes on the $700B Medicare cuts put forth in Obamacare. I've yet to see a liberal decry these cuts. All the evidence you need is the five posts above. Neither have the fortitude to discuss the topic because they are in Protect Barack Obama At All Costs Mode. Par for the course. I personally think it makes them look ignorant.
