Republican Death Panels for American citizens.

Republican Death Panel legislation now happening in the House of Representatives. Republicans love them some war, torture, killing, and suffering. Now they are getting their kicks at the expense of the American people. If you are unemployed and need unemployment benefits to keep surviving, a Republican Death Panel awaits you. If you are disabled and unable to work but at least can survive thanks to Social Security, a Republican Death Panel awaits you. If you are dependent on the Affordable Care in order to afford life saving health care insurance, a Republican Death Panel awaits you. If you are poor and dependent on Food Stamps for survival, a Republican Death Panel awaits you.

Come on Democrats in Washington, get out your damn megaphones and start exposing the "Real" Death Panel bastards to the American people.

They claim that there are no jobs (and of course it's Obama's fault), yet everyone is supposed to get a job. They don't care about anyone but the wealthy and will continue to institute more and more policies that funnel even more of our nation's wealth to a tiny group of financially privileged.

Death panels for the masses, to be sure.

The repukes can make a mountain out of a molehill. We can't even make a molehill with a mountain.

understand. Some reasonable people who have been Republicans are voting Democratic because they see that they are nuts. But when they make that switch - they are not finding much in the Democratic camp. It's a mess - no one is really standing up for principles except for Warren and Sanders. (I hear this from my sister who made the change to voting Democratic)
