Neocons Trade Medicare for War (by Robert Parry 6-14-11 Consortium News)
Exclusive: The American neocons are again on the upswing as they undercut peace initiatives from the Obama administration and gain Republican support for maintaining massive Pentagon spending, in exchange for limiting senior citizens access to Medicare. As Robert Parry reports the neocons can now see the light at the end of the tunnel for their restoration to power.

1. heh
Their idea is:
""You have to kill them over there so we can let our people die over here.""

All the blather about spending at home, is a crock of shit when they ignore the spending over there.

2. I'm not "out on a limb" anymore when it comes to having some unpleasant realities about how the RW
operates here-they are in both major parties bigtime, especially in the leadership. No more denial of that fact is needed today here at DU.
