Republicans stepped into a trap of their own making.

Like a huge net, they have been swept into the air and are hanging upside down, begging the Democrats to cut down the net.

They set the Medicare trap and stepped in it on their own. Why would they do such a stupid thing? We can leave that to psychologists and scientists but they have given the Democrats an issue that should carry them through the next election.

They voted to end Medicare as we know it. Now they are lying, making excuses, re-defining, and explaining their votes to anyone that will listen. However, nothing can change the fact: they voted to end Medicare as we know it. They did not look for a way to save it. They only looked for a way to end it. Now, they have paid the price in NY tonight.

flip flopping all over the place. Schadenfreude can be sweet.......

They pass legislation. If the Senate agrees with them and the President signs it, it becomes a law - not a blueprint. They are lying.

It was a budget plan to cut the deficit by 4.4 trillion dollars by cutting Medicare and Medicaid and domestic spending and another tax rate cut for the wealthy to 25% from 35%. You make it sound like they were only playing games??

that would be a technicality, wouldn't it. They passed a resolution, a law, legislation, to end Medicare as we know it. No more, no less.

it's done on a plotter or large format printer now, I remember blueprints - the fresh ones smell of ammonia!

Like most blueprints now, it means an out-of date design that smells bad.

snark, snark

the majority supported "healthcare reform" even if they did not support the Obama plan. They still do. The same cannot be said for the dismantling of Medicare.

Pizza delivered lol.

Now they are paying the price.

"scaring people" about his budget plan. He's been contacting the voters of NY's 26th district which made history tonight by electing its first Democratic representative in 40 years! Take that, Mr. I-grew-up-on-SS-funds.

Is that the way Republicans think???

Heard Michael Steele on the Ed Show saying that the GOP lost because they didn't explain their "message" clearly enough.

:rofl:

Their message seemed pretty clear to me, and apparently to quite a few Republicans in that district. They want to kill Medicare, and every goddam Repub in the House voted for it.

They're gonna have a hell of a time walking that one back.

And now, a bunch of them are calling for Paul Ryan to run for President. Now, that's ridin' the crazy train big time

:-)

Mikey just doesn't have a clue.

He kept giving Steele opportunities to walk back his stupid comments, but Steele refused to do so.

sick. I for one hope they do not wake up too much. We have an election to win in 2012.

he may want a promise not to block the debt limit?

Democrats need to keep the foot on the pedal and drive this through to 2012 and beyond. The republicans got in power based on lies and an agenda to destroy democracy. Now they are exposed and it is U.G.L.Y.

No

and anyone who pays attention knows it.

will actually go against from their stupid leaders.

It gave them a sense of hubris - that they could push and spin anything they wanted.
