Why do these guys hate their parents and uncles? I don’t get it.

*Sigh!* Critique by Mad Libs does not impress me. I think I can write the Democrats’ critique of the next Republican proposal without even knowing what it is.

“This plan hurts [group of good people] by [doing bad things] and while giving tax breaks for [member of the Left's rogues gallery].”

We don’t and the meals will keep on being delivered.

Emotions…get your Emotions in check.

And the lying begins, her lips are moving.

Thus her near single digit approval ratings.

Psst– Hey leftys , something you don’t hear often but it’s lower than Palin’s.

You left out the part where this incredible hypocrite refers to the book of Matthew to bolster her case. I generally have a problem with abortion advocates using the Bible to frame their arguments.

I guess she’s still cranky because a house fell on her sister. You’d think she’d be over that by now.

Madame weasel….. “”"”" YOU LIE “”"”"

Allow me to reinforce Nancy’s comments with the following from BHO.

Any plan to reduce our deficit must reflect the American values of fairness and shared sacrifice. Congressman Ryan’s plan fails this test. It cuts taxes for millionaires and special interests while placing a greater burden on seniors who depend on Medicare or live in nursing homes, families struggling with a child who has serious disabilities, workers who have lost their health care coverage, and students and their families who rely on Pell grants. The President believes there is a more balanced way to put America on a path to prosperity. But despite our differences, all of us – Democrats and Republicans – have an obligation to find common ground in a way that is true to our values and meets our responsibilities to the American people.

I’ll like to be present when you explain it to them. Explain how you are planning to give tax cut to the corporations, but reduce their rations. How do you sleep at night?

LOL

Sorry, Nancy, your gloom and doom predictions were wrong before and this is just another desperate lib scare tactic.

BTW, why do you libs always threaten the elderly? What have they done to you?

This, from a heartless lib who forced through Congress a $500 billion cut in Medicare.

skyfet said:

My question is why does Nancy Pelosi and the dems in the house and senate lie to the American people by using scare tactics like saying that passing a bill that will cut spending and help save the country from the abyss know better as dept will cause grandma and grandpa to starve to death?

And why are leftists so easily tricked into believing what the dems lie to them about?

I’m assuming you are ignorant about Medicare waste. Why don’t you speak about something you do know about (if it does exists)

If she keeps up this dishonest hyperbolic rhetoric she just might move her approval rating from 9% to 8%. Amazing.

Ahh digressing now, you don’t know the facts, you have no facts, you don’t know what fact is. You don’t know anything about Medicare waste do ya?

Thanks to the magnificent work of Paul Ryan, in Nov 2012 American voters will get to cast the most important vote of their lives — do you want America to go down “The Path to Prosperity”, or do you want America to continue to careen out-of-control down the lunatic-left d-crat socialist TAX-AND-SPEND “Road to Hell” ?

As expected, crazy pelsoi has already come out with her GRAND LIE that Ryan’s magnificent “Path to Prosperity” plan will kill seniors dependent on Medicare by depriving them of food ! This from the creator of the obozocare DEATH PANELS for seniors !!!!!!!!

8.8% unemployment.

Record # people in foreclosure.

Record # of people living below poverty level
Terrorists to be tried at Gitmo- but Gitmo was closed last year, wasn’t it, son?

LOL

You , Nancy and Barry did such a great job son!

Isn’t this tactic getting a little old . Cut a sack of rice and a can of beans out of millions and you are staving people .
How about the people who cook and feed homeless people . And the Fed shut them down cause their kitchen wasn’t FDA , USDA approved . The Fed would rather them be hungry . Where were you then Nancy ?
If you put Pelosi’s brain in a match box .It would look like a BB going down a 4 lane highway . Sell it somewhere else Pelosi . You could care less who is hungry .

In her first appearance before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee since the health-care law passed, Kathleen Sebelius responded to a line of questioning by Republican Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois about whether $500 billion in Medicare cuts were used to sustain the program or pay for the law.

“There is an issue here on the budget because your own actuary has said you can’t double-count,” said Shimkus. “You can’t count — they’re attacking Medicare on the CR when their bill, your law, cut $500 billion from Medicare.”

He continued: “Then you’re also using the same $500 billion to what? Say your funding health care. Your own actuary says you can’t do both. […] What’s the $500 billion in cuts for? Preserving Medicare or funding the health-care law?

Sebelius’ reply? “Both.”

LOL

You lose again, son!

Moron! the source of the money, source. Do you know what it means? if get rid of waste in one area, it is a saving which you can then spend on other area. Business, numbers, come on, think.

hahaha

Son, did ya see the words CUTS??

THAT”S CALLED A FACT!

And her own actuary said you can’t double count, son!

“The Medicare actuary wrote a memorandum on April 22 of this year calling attention to this “double-counting.” “In practice,” he stated, “the improved Part A financing cannot simultaneously be used to finance other Federal outlays (such as the coverage expansions under the PPACA) and to extend the trust fund, despite the appearance of this result from the respective accounting conventions.”

In other words, money can only be used once. Since the Medicare savings is being spent elsewhere on expanded health care coverage, it is not really being employed to extend Medicare solvency. To claim an improvement in Medicare financing is to mislead about the effects of recent legislation.

Even apart from the double counting, the actuary had little faith in ObamaCare’s ability to deliver the savings claimed by Sebelius in this clip, also noted last summer:

“(T)he financial projections shown in this report for Medicare do not represent a reasonable expectation for actual program operations in either the short range. . . or the long range. . . . I encourage readers to review the ‘illustrative alternative’ projections that are based on more sustainable assumptions for physician and other Medicare price updates.”

Wow. A leftist accusing Republicans of wanting to starve seniors. Never saw that coming. Next…

That’s a pretty sweet bottom line, isn’t it? The choices are crystal clear. And the Dems new Big Gun is an obfuscating, talking point spewing bubble head. She’s Alan Grayson with a bleach job.

I have a very good feeling about this.

Nancy knows the average IQ of a Dim voter. She also knows they wouldn’t even begin to question her use of class warfare. Remember, Liberals are only emotionally motivated to hate, and their manipulators need never concern themselves with truth or logic.

Here’s how this debate shapes up: Paul Ryan attempts an adult conversation on debt & entitlement reform

Debbie is a gift.

Within minutes of the Republican plan being unvailed Pelosi comes out with the statement that it will starve children and seniors.  Does anyone believe that she read the proposal in that amount of time, if at all?  She’s nothing, but a demagogue.

What hyperbole? http://tinyurl.com/3njb3bs Funding for Meals on Wheels would be stripped.

“HR 1 would slash grants provided to state and local governments through the Housing and Urban Development Department’s Community Development Block Grant program by 69 percent compared to the enacted 2010 budget. That amounts to more than $2.9 billion in cuts this year in programs that provide Meals on Wheels for the elderly, day care and after school care for children, job opportunities for residents in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, and hundreds of other local assistance services.

“These are devastating cuts at a time when more and more Americans are living at or below the poverty line and are relying on local and state governments for help,” said Russell Varnado, president of AFGE’s National Council of HUD Locals Council 222.

In addition, the bill cuts funding for local public housing assistance by nearly $1.1 billion, or 43 percent compared to 2010 enacted levels. More than 1.2 million low-income families, senior citizens and persons with disabilities live in rental housing that is managed by local housing authorities. The grant funds issued by HUD are used to maintain public housing units as decent, safe and sanitary.”

Ellen, why do you think it’s a good idea to send money to Washington in order to feed the people next door? Wouldn’t it make a whole lot more sense to take care of that locally? I can’t think of anyplace I’ve ever lived that would just let people starve. Why does Washington need to tax and spend to take care of hungry old people? Are we incapable of taking care of our neighbors now? I’m not. Are you?

I think Nancy Pelosi is sexy, but then I’m Goober-Brained Reject’s son.

But they don’t get taken care of locally. Just look at the south for example. Most of the poverty is in the south (red states) even though they get back more federal dollars than they pay in. I live in a blue state and we pay more in federal taxes than we receive back. Do you really want to remove funding for Meals on Wheels for our country’s poor elderly? Do they go back to the days where they eat cat food because that’s all that they can afford? Do you think states that can’t meet their budgets now are all of a sudden going to find the money to fund these programs when they no longer have the federal dollars for them? Where do you think that money is going to come from? and please don’t tell me that the local churches will pick up the slack. If that were true, the south, the bible belt, would not have the highest rates of poverty in the country.

Do you know what’s in Ryan’s bill? Can you dispute the bill defunds Meals of Wheels for the elderly? Keep the focus on partisan politics so you don’t have to face the reality of what is in the bill. But then again ….

First Collector: At this festive time of year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute.
Ebenezer: Are there no prisons?
First Collector: Plenty of prisons.
Ebenezer: And the union workhouses – are they still in operation?
First Collector: They are. I wish I could say they were not.
Ebenezer: Oh, from what you said at first I was afraid that something had happened to stop them in their useful course. I’m very glad to hear it.
First Collector: I don’t think you quite understand us, sir. A few of us are endeavoring to buy the poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth.
Ebenezer: Why?
First Collector: Because it is at Christmastime that want is most keenly felt, and abundance rejoices. Now what can I put you down for?
Ebenezer: Huh! Nothing!
Second Collector: You wish to be anonymous?
Ebenezer: [firmly, but calmly] I wish to be left alone. Since you ask me what I wish sir, that is my answer. I help to support the establishments I have named; those who are badly off must go there.
First Collector: Many can’t go there.
Second Collector: And some would rather die.

I think it says a lot about the character of people who can’t fathom a world wherein charities and individuals take care of each other instead of the government doing it for them. In their minds somehow if it gets cut from federal funding it cannot possibly happen any other way. Pretty sad.

Just look at my posts in the thread. Or go to any site that is willing to talk about what’s really in Ryan’s bill. He also wants to give more tax cuts to the rich, cutting their rate from 35% down to 25%. Also wants to cut estate taxes for millionaires and billionaires. So more tax cuts for the rich and program cuts for children, the poor and the elderly. Wants to cut way back on food and safety programs too. Shared sacrifice … only if you’re not already rich. Educate yourself on this bill.

They’re both full of it…

This woman is an embarrassment to mankind. She is so full of chit her eyes are brown and her grandkids call her nonie stinky pants

A paltry 5% cut in this program will NOT starve Seniors, you ignorant, lying *itch!! You are becoming more and more of a detriment to the DemocRAT party and you really should think about getting your flabbly ass OUT while you still have a few marbles left. LIAR!!

Interesting how Republicans are looking more and more like Communists these days.

GO AWAY… this was so predictable. Once republcians took the hard job of balancing the budget .. The DEms go to the playbook and say we are killing kids, grandmas, people will starve, disease will run amuck…. nobody belives this crap anymore.
