Red-handed
Delighted to see that senate Democrats are standing up for Social Security.

But I can't help but remember those big red buses with the big red hand prints, buses paid for by the likes of Dick Armey, buses full of people who had been frightened into believing that President Obama wanted to take away their Medicare and kill them with death panels. Sorry, but I have to wonder who thought using that red hand was a good idea.

1. I think it's fine...
I didn't think about the other red hands at all when I saw this.

But I like how they are taking back the American flag too, so...

2. Why not?
"believing that President Obama wanted to take away their Medicare" It seems like it's kind of the same cause, even if the first was based on a false premise, the premise is the same.

3. I love it
Taking their symbol and using it as our own.

4. I'm so confused. Are Senate Dems opposing the Catfood Commission?
If so, isn't that a Democratic Administration commission?

Aargh. Back off my brain
