Don't worry, Chuckie will fix that. "All in good time, my pretty, all in good time...."

I am kind of skeptical since the Tea Party seems to have adopted Medicare and isnt doing much about the other programs that they like. The "Reagan" voters who support the Tea Party hit their high water mark in 2010 anyways. They wont be the force they were in 2010.
You already know that people have paid for Medicare their entire lives. Some day you might actually get a valid argument. I doubt it though.

Little borrego has had that pointed out to him many times. His usual response is to wait for a while, until he figures people will forget his fibs have alreday been debunked, and then present them again as though they had somehow "healed up" and were magically true now.

It takes an unusually sick, fanatical breed of liberal to point to a group of people who have had their savings and resources taken from them by force for year after year, and who are determined to get it back....

....and try to pretend that their desire to get at least some of it back, constitutes "approval" of the thefts in the first place!

Between Schumer and Cuomo, New York sure is producing some really stand up guys!

They should add to that commercial trying to attract new businesses there, "unless you're a Catholic... extremists have no place here!"

So dramatic. Here in the liberal northeast, we refer to this process as taxation.

If you think taxation is theft, you have a screw loose.

Not all taxation is theft... only liberals won't understand that... taxes that apply to only a select group of people is theft and taxes with different percentages is also theft...

Schumer Calls for Using IRS to Curtail Tea Party Activities | Washington Free Beacon
Listening to UpChuck Chuckie's speech, he revived the "You didn't build that" meme, made famous by Elizabeth Warren, and later Barack Obama in his Roanoke speech. "They claim they built thier businesses all by themselves!" Chuck indignantly averred. Then he launched into the usual, "government built the roads and the bridges that carry your products to market!"

No, Chuck. Taxpayers built the roads and bridges. Further, in many modern industrial parks, built by developers, it was the developer that put in the acces roads and the utilities for those industrial parks.

Democrats will take every opportunity to convince people that we are a nation of collectivists, that we cannot get by without the help of government.
