Right Now, the GOP House is Trying to Repeal the Medicare Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Measures by Dems!
Sunday, June 5, FACE THE NATION with Nancy Pelosi....

The deomcratic house passed 1/2 TRILLION in savings to Medicare which also created ten more years of solvency. What they did was put in measures to stop much of the waste, fraud, and abuse.
ONE HALF TRILLION DOLLARS THEY SAVED IN THE PROGRAM. All without changing "benefits".

Right now...in the GOP House they are trying to overturn this measure. Not a lick on the nooze. Nothing. Only Weinergate. Now you understand why. The waste, fraud, and abuse was illegal...but too easy to do in the system. So the GOP wants the waste back in there...while they say there is no money in the program and benefits must be hacked?

DU...this is the real news, and a real story. It's being hidden in "weinergate". Can we push this into the nooze? People need to know that the GOP is trying to purpetrate real crime!

Can we really push this into the MSM? I think that is what we should be doing. Just thought I'd ask.

4. Exposing the GOP's true agenda.
They're not the least bit concerned about saving and protecting Medicare. They want to loot the system, thus the need for Medicare Part D, and the give-away to Big Pharma.

The faster they kill it, the more they make. It's a feeding frenzy.

The Dems aren't going to get a mention of this in the corporate media. Not when they've got a non-story like Weiner's weiner for a distraction.

Get it to O'Donnell, Maddow, Schultz, Amy Goodman, etc.

The Dems need Their own Frank Luntz to get this moving. Unfortunately they don't have one.

7. Killing the message with the messanger
Edited on Wed Jun-08-11 09:52 AM by PRETZEL
Congressman Weiner had become the face of many of these issues. Very outspoken not only in the media but on the floor also.

I would hate to think that he was the only voice.

His personal issues and whether or not he violated ethic rules and the moral convictions of his marriage vows are his own making.

Someone needs to come forward and say, Congressman Weiner will deal with his issues as needed, these are the country's issues that are being whisked away.

Someone needs to stand up.

(edit for spelling)

9. The whiney bugs want to blame Weiner. They do not have
5 or 6 people always ready to get out there
and fight what they believe.

Give me a break. If Weiner could mess up, and they
have no one else, that is a sorry bunch. I am losing
patience.

Let make it a requirement. We only support Congress
people who prepare and are willing to be on TV.

12. ALWAYS protect businesses' ability to leech off the people or the government
NEVER pass anything that might inhibit their freedom to prey.

It's so very, very transparent.

13. The fraud measures didn't go far enough but that's what they want to get rid of

Doctors give money to republicans to make sure enforcement of medicare/medicaid fraud is underfunded. I've said it before, any of these criminals even attempts to steal the taxpayers money should go to prison for 30 years, no parole, no probation, general population.
