Mitch McConnell, John Boehner And The Republicans' Blood Oath Against America
http://blog.buzzflash.com//contributor/3605?utm_medium=bt.io-twitter&utm_source=buzzflash.com&utm_content=backtype-tweetcount

According to Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell and House minority leader John Boehner:

1. Americans don't want affordable health care for all citizens and they don't want to close the Medicare prescription drug Part D doughnut hole that requires seniors on fixed incomes to pay the full cost of the pharmaceutical industry's obscenely high drug prices.

2. Americans don't want to rid the Medicare Part D (totally unfunded by the way) mandate that forbids the federal government from negotiating lower prescription drug costs.

3. Americans don't want banking and finance reform which during the 8-year Bush-Cheney reign allowed the Wall Street hucksters and Ponzi scheme swindlers to run amok with no regulation or oversight.

4. Americans don't want the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of citizens to expire. The tax cuts, according to the non partisan Congressional Budget Office will allow the federal deficit to balloon by an additional $3 trillion.

5. Americans don't want to see a stop to the outsourcing of U.S. jobs to India, China, Bangladesh, Indonesia and other cheap labor countries.

6. Americans don't want to extend unemployment benefits to millions of out-of-work people who Republicans call "lazy bums" no matter how hard those jobless Americans are looking.

7. Americans don't want an end to the Bush-Cheney wars which enrich the powerful defense contractors. After all, Americans realize that Xe (once known as Blackwater) mercenary army doesn't want to be weaned off of the lucrative, no-bid, no-accountable government contracts that perpetuate the military industrial complex.

8. Americans don't want Social Security because the Republicans believe that it should "wither and die on the vine."
Of course, it is well-documented that they want to privatize it.

9. Americans don't want to prohibit health insurance companies from refusing and discriminating against citizens for preexisting illnesses and health conditions.

10. Americans don't want environmental regulations that protect the lives, health, security and welfare of the public.

1. They really do hate us.
I guess them being so elite and rich and infamous, they feel, along with their support from Diebold, that they can openly talk about their hate and get away with it?

Enough. We must have enough votes to overcome their one advantage.

2. its these guys religion that fuels them - remember some live at that


religious house (C street?)

they can't see logic and reason because they are blinded by their religion.

we are having to deal with mentally deranged people. which is not an easy thing.

they are so deranged they are willing to cut off their own noses to spite their faces.

only a nut would want to get rid of SS and Medicare/caid, public schooling, etc.
