Sen. Lamar Alexander "Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid is wasteful spending."

Repukes have wasteful ideas. He said on C-Span 10 minutes ago.

Was that the next sentence out of his mouth?

before you and me and others get a dime back that we paid into the social security system or for medicare (which is, I hope, the forerunner for universal health care) or medicaid - it is what you do for the least of us that defines your humanity. The campaign slogan for the Democrats should be how rich do you have to be before Lamar will stop throwing tax payer money at you. Apparently, you can't be too rich. Lamar will just shut down social security, medicare and medicaid to free up even more money for corporate welfare and tax breaks for the rich.

Why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that, eh Babs?

when he's up for reelection.

So, it'll have to wait six years.

Maybe, by that time, there will actually be a Democratic Party in Tennessee (to speak of - ours is dilapidated).

who used to be a die-hard repub. Slowly, by rubbing TN friend's nose in bush poo, my husband has converted that friend who is now send nasty letters to Sen. Corker.

At times it can be very depressing to live in this state. I will say that the whole TN House coup has been very fun to watch. :D

Sen. Plaid Shirt and Corker manage to have this veneer of being a moderate for a lot of people in this state. There are actually quite a few people here that think Plaid Shirt is very pro-environment. :eyes:

He wants to maintain the view from his property near the Smokies.

Otherwise? Not so much.

And yes, I've been watching the Repub takeover of the TN House and Senate. I'm afraid we're in for some weird times over the next few years.

there must not be one for him to be blowing off his pie hole that way

put on your checkered shirt asshole and STFU

That's what he really means. Fucking asswipe.

I'm so sick of this attitude - that people are objects. A just society would make sure everyone has three hots & a cot, along with health care & education & a host of other things that we all need to thrive. The most aggravating part is the self-righteousness of Americans like him. He tells himself that there's a level playing field in this country, so, we have all the same opportunities he had, & if we weren't such losers, we could be where he is. But that's an all American lie. There is no level playing field! And it's becoming more skewed every day!

you can really see where they are coming from. They just do not give a shit about the people.

And we pay this guy's salary?

He doesn't even qualify for a dogcatcher.

Hawkeye-X

And let's ask him what he thinks of unemployment benefits.

Then let's put his answer in advertisements.

Hey Alexander, what shall the hungry eat?

Gosh I hope they are wiped out even further in 2010!!

and they just do not give a crap about anybody just those tax cuts to be made permanent they keep on saying.

Reconstruction.

Unbelievable.

What a wonderful campaign ad Lamar's little gem of a quote would make.

He makes me feel intelligent!

>

.... and insist he vote in FAVOR of the stimulus bill.

Done. ;)

He must not plan to run for re-election.

Bake

:rofl:

Killing people in Iraq is your idea of ways to spend money.

It makes me crazy when I read how stupid they are.

He was the president of the University of Tennessee when I graduated in 1989. Yeah, I'm really proud of that claim to fame.
