DiFi thinks Public Option would be another pesky "entitlement"

I can't put into words how this woman disgusts me. And CA'ians keep electing her. She's the worst of the DINOs and the worst of the Blue Dogs.

7. heh--I was being metaphrical--I meant camp on her doorstep and make her
step over you to do business. En masse. Spilling out into the streets. Loudly.

5. Why of course, DiFI. . .Americans expecting a RETURN on their
taxes is certainly an "entitlement." We understand that the GOP and the Blue Dogs cannot stand the idea of any American tax dollars being spent on the American people in America.

6. I love the term "entitlement" as applied to items we pay taxes to support.
There's an evilness about the word - like everyone on the receiving end is a deadbeat, welfare queen, not grandma eking out an existence on $800 social security every month.

9. Exactly. As if Americans who deserve a turnaround on our tax dollars

don't deserve these "freebees"

Especially when they call Social Security an entitlement. It is not! It makes me nuts.

11. Why is this woman collecting a salary as a Senator?

at least doofis Ahnuld admits he's rich enough not to take a taxpayer salary from the state. DiFi is so wealthy she should be ashamed. As are a lot of other elected officials, who should not be accepting salaries.

13. GOOD point. Ted Kennedy never accepts his and Eleanor R never accepted widow's pension. nt

18. She represents the filthy rich influential San Franciscans

a huge irony about SF. It's the symbol of peace, love, liberalism,

but also these ultra rich limo "democrats" who couldn't care less about anyone not making billions or who don't have power....

12. I despise her. Oh how I wish Californians would show her the door.
I also wish the voters could decide what kind of health care our elected officials received.

like the Republicans.
