Did you know the Tea Party rank and file Do NOT want Medicare

[OHdem10]

and Social Security, Safety Net Programs cut????

Happen to catch part of John Stossel who is Libertarian
to the core. They were discussing balancing the budget
and therefore budget cuts. He pops up w poll which
76% of Americans want spending cut. 76%, However
when asked what to cut---very interesting answers.
He checked every group in the poll. Republicans
Teapartiers and Democrats all objected to cutting SS
and Medicare. Of course he was dismayed.

To watch the Libertarian Activists posing as Teabaggers
everyday on TV and to listen to the MSM I thought the
the Teabaggers had the pitchforks and are ready to
storm the gates cutting spending and getting rid ot
those Social Programs. More and More it seems a group
of Activists have pulled a fast one.

I knew ordinary working class Republicans will bail
on the Republican Party. Rank and file working class
Republicans confront the same issues in daily life
as Democrats. If you have a family, you are greatful
we have Medicare and SS for your parents. This would
be a real burden trying to face it without any programs.


Conservatives on the Hill are much more Conservative
than their constituents. And the MSM tries to tell us
this is a Center Right Country. Center Right would carve
away on these programs. It they keep kicking their Moderate
Republicans out the Republican Party will go off the deep
end in the next couple of years.

Republicans had better remember that Tea Party Activists
earn or have inherited above average incomes. They do
not seem to grasp that one half of this country makes less
than 36,000 annually. They need to sit down and meditate
on what it might be like to try to raise a family on less
than 36,000 annually.

Back to the poll, did you not find this interesting.
Now we know it is the upscale with Pitchforks who want
to get rid of SS Medicare.

3. you knew that and I knew that they benefit from Medicare. but

MSM and Republicans, TeaParty Activists on TV have
left the impression and continue to promote the
notion that the TeaParty wants the Programs cut.
Angle has said she wanted the programs phazed out.

Rand Paul wants to change the program and make
Seniors pay a 2000 dollar deductible. Oops
he must have seen that polll. He is changing
his position.

4. Very few people actually want

Medicare and SS to go away. If you talk to them, they'll say ... Something has to be done but I paid into it all my life so my age group should be left alone! I would imagine younger voters would be more concerned about reform, including lifting caps.

It's YOUR Medicare that they don't want to see exist.
