As someone who lives in the area, I agree with Newt — it’s not up to outsiders to determine who best represents us in NYS. I didn’t appreciate the viciousness of tone that was aimed at Dede and our local GOP that typically enters when Sarah Palin and the talk radio crowd decide to get involved. We never had that style of a campaign around here. Hoffman, who is clueless on local issues and won’t debate, is letting the Club for Growth speak and do for him. That’s not someone I trust to be a strong representative in Washington. And I’m also pleased to see that Mitt Romney, always the adult, has stayed out of the race and the GOP civil war. He and Newt understand its about uniting under a big tent, not excluding people or holding an ideology litmus test with a one-size only for the entire country.

Republicans complaining about cuts to Medicare, a program they would have abolished if they thought they could have gotten away with it?

Bush wanted to make the tax changes (cuts?) permanent. Senate rules required the 10 year limit.

Would that be the hand that feeds you?

Do you support the direct subsidies to insurance companies so they can offer extra benefits to Medicare recipients in order to “compete?”

It’s because there is spending and then there is spending.

May we conclude the other two points before embarking upon a third?

My point was Democrats proposed cuts to Medicare. Have you ever acknowledged that? If you have, do you think they’ll materialize? I don’t. If they do not, what are the implications?

Republicans have nefarious desires for Medicare? Stipulated. Now, back to Democrats…

Second point I made was that even though Dems hold Congress and the Executive, and have passed the largest Defense appropriations bill ever – you seem to make the point it’s Republicans who have sole responsibility. I can understand the historical emotion, but current facts seem to contradict that.

Forgit the republicans and the democrats, all our scum, instead pray for a super volcano to erupt midway between Wall Street and K Street. That should solve the scum problem.

Paul,

You would be the lame one to claim that I try to divert attention by stating fact regarding the Republicans true intentions with Medicare or the fact that Republicans are indeed the war mongers. “Bomb, bomb, bomb, Anyone” might as well have been McCain and Palin’s battle cry.

Not the cuts Democrats propose, mind you, but cuts resulting solely in areas that would benefit their industries.

Now, how about providing some proof to verify your claim on this one first. Then we can proceed to some of your other lameness.

A warning? Not advice? A warning?

A bit touchy this fine morning, are we?

Now, back to Democratic cuts to Medicare….
