dlc86, I respectfully disagree. The Republican plan to turn Medicare into a Voucher system will be our death sentence as Independent Senator Bernie Sanders says. Even my own family doctor said older seniors and especially the disabled and disabled Veterans will be crushed financially. My doc said If you stay basically healthy you may be fine, but a major illness or surgery with follow up will cost you thousands more out of your pocket. I dont know where you are getting your information from, but it is not accurate. If you dont believe me, just watch Fox News and then go to politifact.com and see how accurate the news report from Fox actually was, but If you dont care about the truth, then dont. Go to politifact.com or the Congressional Budget Office for non partisan facts and you will see that President Obama's plan actually saves $716 Billion, not takes it from Medicare. Romney and the Republicans keep running that false ad, because they think If you hear it enough it must be true. More lies like the Obama 2016 movie. The right wing Republican machine is trying to fire you up with so much hate for Obama, that you will vote Republican and then watch them pull the rug right out from under you. You will lose your Medicare and then they chop away at your S.S. If the Republicans take control, we will live as the top 2% want us to live. Our seniors, disabled, Veterans and poor children will be thrown under the bus. Today's Republican party is controlled by Corporate Billionaire Donors and they dont want or need Social Security or Medicare. Corporate America wants to eliminate the FICA Tax to give them an automatic 6.2% raise. In return they will give you vouchers and privatize Social Security. Cant you see whats coming down the road. Maybe you got a million set aside, but I certainly dont.Response to SAVE MEDICARE, SUPPORT OUR MILITARY, FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM OF RELIGION!!!!!

VOTE ROMNEY THE ONLY ONE WITH A PLAN TO DECREASE THE DEFICIT!! : Posted by mandm84 I completely agree with you as Bernie Sanders is one of the most impartial speakers for the American people. It's refreshing to hear him speak. There's no way that seniors will be able to afford a voucher system for Medicare as it will cost a lot more than $99 a month. It's so true that the Republicans are only concerned, as Obama said, about giving those at the top more tax cuts and perks. If anyone thinks that Romney will create jobs here, just look as his record of outsourcing jobs to India and China. He wants the cheapest labor possible, and that is what he'll offer to Americans at home. If they don't want to work for less than $10 an hour, then he'll just be forced into going overseas again. As for religious freedom, it's ironic that they are "pro-life" but don't want to provide all Americans with health care. The religious right means "power and control" over the people. We've had a decade of disastrous wars under Bush, spending trillions of $$$ for them as well as for the Bush tax cuts that didn't "trickle down" to the Middle class and working poor. How many of us are just sick and tired of wars and foreign affairs that only cost us more $$$ and haven't made us safer? Romney wants to give another 5 trillion $$$ in tax cuts and give another 2 trillion $$$ to defense spending. Why would anyone, who isn't wealthy, want to give the Republicans another 4 years when they're the ones who drove us over the cliff into an abyss?

intersan, Thats the way I see it too. Its also appears to be only the wealthy, who dont care about those struggling to survive with dignity or they dont know the real facts, who will vote for Romney. I know there are good hearted people, who have been fortunate to do well in life and that do care about those who have been hit by hard times or health problems. I just hope there is enough of them to make a difference. We need to have each others backs, rich or poor. Response to Re: SAVE MEDICARE, SUPPORT OUR MILITARY, FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM OF RELIGION!!!!!

The Repubs have done everything to prevent Obama from making plans as they know that it takes their cooperation to work toward a goal. They won't create jobs as they don't want Obama to look good. I agree that race is involved because I've heard people saying that these recorded calls in Red states sometimes emphasize that we can't let the country fall into the hands of a black man again. If Romney gets in, they'll take credit for the good things that Obama has managed to accomplish. |
